Some answers to frequently asked questions about my recipe collection: I notice that you have edited and corrected many of the recipe archives you have on your page. What did you edit out and correct? Many of the recipes in this collection were typed, formatted and posted in the l ate 1980's and early 1990's to various bulletin boards before the Internet came into being. These recipes were often formatted for a recipe management program called MealMaster. During the years, the recipes have been posted and reposted to various mailing lists and newsgroups on the Internet. They often pick up err ors during reformatting and reposting. I have also converted many of these reci pes from Web page format and MealMaster format to MasterCook format. This conve rsion process often introduces errors into the recipe. I have attempted to corr ect the conversion errors. I have also removed the names of the people who type d, formatted and posted these recipes. I have kept the recipe author or creator where known. I have also removed duplicate recipes and I have attempted to mak e some sense out of the recipes categories. I notice that you have removed all the nutrition data from the recipes in your c ollection. Why did you do this? Since many of the recipes in this archive were typed and formatted several years ago and they often contain conflicting nutrition information, I have decided to strip out the nutritional data from all the recipes I edit. If you have a curr ent version of MasterCook (6.0) it will calculate nutritional data more accurate ly than the older versions. So after you import the recipes into your copy of M asterCook, you will have up-to-date nutritional data available. If nutritional data is important to you, make sure that the serving size looks reasonable. Man y recipes have a serving size set to the MasterCook default setting of '1'. So nutritional data would assume the entire recipe is one serving and report the da ta incorrectly. I have tired, as I edited the recipes, to correct the serving s ize if it was set to "1" to a reasonable serving size based on the recipes ingre dient amounts. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - * Exported from MasterCook * "Les Fines Herbes" Seasoning

DRESSING: Combining ingredients in a small bowl. Mix well by hand. Store in a co vered container in the refrigerator until salad is ready. MARINADE: Combine water, lime juice, soy sauce, and Worcestershire in a medium b owl, and stir. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, cover bowl and keep in r efrigerator for several hours. Overnight is even better. When chicken is marinated, preheat a frying pan or skillet (an iron skillet, if you've got it) over medium/high heat. Also, preheat your barbecue grill to mediu m/high heat. Combine the spices for the Cajun spice blend in a small bowl. Sprin kle 1 tsp of the spice blend over one side of each of the chicken breasts. Cover the entire surface of the chicken with spice. Melt the butter in the hot pan, t hen sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on the side with the spices. While first side cooks, sprinkle another teaspoon of spice over the top of each chicke n breast, coating that side as you did the other. Flip the chicken over, and sea r for another 2-3 minutes. The surface of the chicken will be coated with a char red, black layer of flavor. This is exactly what you are shooting for. Finish the chicken off on your barbecue grill. Grill each breast on both sides f or 2-3 minutes, or until they are done. While chicken is cooking prepare the sal ads by splitting the lettuce into 2 large bowls. Toss in the red cabbage and car rots. Mix the cheeses together, then top the salad with the cheeses and hard-boi led egg. Sprinkle the diced tomato on each salad. Slice the chicken breast, acro ss each breast in 1/2" slices. Spread the chicken over the top of the salad and serve immediately with dressing on the side. Source: Top Secret Recipes by Todd Wilbur.

Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------------------------------water granulated sugar dark corn syrup salt maple flavoring

1. Combine the first four ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat. 2. Stir occasionally, until the mixture comes to a full boil. Let it boil for 7 minutes. 3. Turn the heat off and let the syrup cool for 15 minutes. 4. Add the maple flavoring and stir. 5. When completely cool, transfer the syrup to a covered plastic or glass conta iner. Makes 1 quart.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - NOTES : TIDBITS For syrup with a butter flavor, just add 3 tablespoons of butter the mixture before heating. For a lighter syrup, use a sugar substitute instead of the granulated sugar. The absence of natural maple syrup in this recipe is n ot unusual. In fact, there is no real maple syrup in any Aunt Jemima syrups.

This Mix collection is from a company called Jewel. I don't think that their pro duct is available any longer, so I have substituted just the word shortening for the Jewel shortening. I have had excellent results using either Crisco or (late ly) Mazola shortening in these recipes. Unfortunately, I think the Jewel shorten ing has gone to the shortening heaven with Spry and several others whose name el udes me now. Thank goodness the recipes have survived! *4 Tablespoons Combine sifted flou r, salt and baking powder. Stir well. Sift into a large bowl or pan. Add shorten ing. Use a pastry blender to distribute shortening throughout dry ingredients un til the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal and small peas. The Bake-It-All Mix is now ready to use or store in a canister on your cupboard shelf. A cool area is desirable. Yield: About 12 cups

Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------------------------------ripe peaches -- finely chopped sugar juice of lemon eggs heavy or whipping cream milk

The best way to capture the elusive flavor of summertime. Ben and Jerry prefer s

mall peaches because they have more flavor and less water than the larger ones. Combine the peaches, 1/2 cup of the sugar, and the lemon juice in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours, stirring the mixture every 30 minutes. Remove the p eaches from the refrigerator and drain the juice into another bowl. Return the peaches to the refrigerator. Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl until li ght and fluffy, 1-2 minutes. Whisk in the remaining 3/4 cup sugar, a little at a time, then continue whisking until completely blended, about 1 minute more. Pou r in the cream and milk and whisk to blend. Add the peach juice and blend. Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and fr eeze following manufacturer's instructions. After the ice cream stiffens (about 2 minutes before if is done) add the peaches, then continue freezing until the i ce cream is ready. Makes 1 generous quart.

Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method ------------ -------------------------------heath candy bars eggs cup granulated sugar cups whipping cream cups half and half teaspoons vanilla extract

1. Freeze the candy bars. 2. Beat the eggs by hand until fluffy. 3. Slowly beat in the sugar. 4. Add the cream, half and half, and vanilla and mix well. 5. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze. 6. While the ice cream is freezing, place the frozen candy bars in a plastic ba g and break them into small pieces with a knife handle. 7. When the ice cream is done, remove it from the ice cream maker and add the c andy pieces. Mix well with a large spoon and store in the freezer. Makes 1 quart .

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - NOTES : The real secret to Ben & Jerry's ice cream is its consistency. It is a t hick and creamy ice cream developed with special equipment that keeps a great de

al of air out of the mixture. The less air in the ice cream, the thicker the con sistency. Therefore, you may find the above recipes fills your ice cream maker a little more than other ice cream recipes. It's also important to get the right consistency of Heath bar chunks. Most of the candy bar should be crushed into cr umbs, but stop breaking the candy when there are still several 1- and 1/2-inch c hunks remaining. Try substituting other ingredients for the Heath bar chunks, ju st as Ben and Jerry have. Try Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Oreo cookies, Kit Kat bars, Rollo cups, M&Ms, and chunks of raw cookie dough.

Select a well-rounded onion. Peel outer skin but leave root intact, cutting off any hanging roots. With ordinary paring knife, core out top third of center. Angle knife for best results. Divide onion into four sections, by making 2 cuts crosswise, beginning at the top and cutting toward the root, stopping about 1/2 -inch away. Cut each section twice again. Place onion in bowl of enough boilin g water to cover it and leave for 5 minutes. The sections, or "petals," will begin to open. Remove onion from hot water and immerse in ice water, which will further the opening. Drain well by turning ups ide down on a paper towel. Put flour into paper bag (season with any seasonings you'd like--Cajun, cayenne, plain ol' salt and pepper, etc), add onion and shak e gently to coat with flour. Beat egg and milk; roll floured onion in egg. Put cracker crumbs in paper bag, add onion, and shake gently to coat. Refrigera te 1 hour before deep frying to set the coating. Heat oil to 375-380F. If oil isn't hot enough, it will be greasy an d the batter may not stick. If oil is to o hot, outside will burn before inside is cooked. Place onion petal-side DOWN i n HOT oil or use a wire basket. Cook until golden brown, 3-5 minutes. Cooked o nion can be kept for a time in a warm oven. Serve with sauce made of Russian dr essing and horseradish. From "Outback Cafe"

Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------------------------------unbleached all purpose flour buttermilk or skim milk powder sugar salt baking powder baking soda very cold -- unsalted butter, cut into chunks

In a large bowl, place flour, buttermilk or skim milk powder, sugar, salt, bakin g powder, and baking soda. Using a large whisk, stir dry ingredients together ve ry well. By hand, or using a pastry blender, cut butter into ingredients to form a grainy, uneven mixture - it doesn't have to be perfect - some large chunks ar e fine. You can also do this using a food processor. Process about one-third of the mix at a time, pulsing the processor to cut the fat into the flour. Freeze i n containers or bags, using about four cups of mix per bag. To Make Scones 3 cups scones mix 1 egg 1/3 - 1/2 cup water OR orange juice, lemonade, ginger al

e or seltzer 1 tsp. vanilla Garnish: 1 beaten egg white Coarse or regular sugar Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place mix in a bowl and make a well in center. Stir egg, water (or substitute liquid) and vanilla and gently stir with a fork to make a soft mass. Turn out onto a lightl y floured work surface and knead about 15 seconds, just to make the mass cohesiv e. Pat into an eight inch round and cut into wedges. Brush with egg white and sp rinkle with sugar. Bake on upper third of oven, reducing heat after 10 minutes t o 400and bake until nicely golden about 15 - 18 minutes. Additions: Can add 1/2 cup raisins, currants, dried cherries or cranberries, nuts, chocolate chips or g rated apple or can add one tsp. citrus zest, cinnamon.

Heat the oil in a deep saucepan over low-med. heat for about 20 minutes. In a me d. bowl, mix the sugar into the water until dissolved. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise, and then into 1/4" strips. Put the potatoes into the sugar solution and soak for 15 minutes. Remove the potatoes and dry them thoroughly on paper to wels. The right oil temperature is crucial here. To test the oil, fry a couple of pota to slices for 6 minutes. Remove and cool, then taste.

The fries should no get too dark too soon and should be soft in the middle. If t he oil is too hot, turn it down and test again. The fries should not be undercoo ked, either. If they are, turn up the heat. When the oil temperature is just rig ht, put all of the potato slices in the oil for 1 minute. This is the blanching stage. Take the fries out of the oil and let them cool. When the fries have cool ed, place them into the oil again for 5 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove f rom the oil and place on a paper towel-covered plate. Salt to taste.

1. Combine the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir unti l ingredients are well-combined and bring to a boil. Then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes. 2. As sauce is simmering, heat up 6 to 8 cups of oil in a deep fryer set to 350F . 3. Combine the beaten egg with the milk in a small bowl. 4. In another small bowl, combine the flour, salt, pepper and MSG. 5. When oil is hot, dip each wing first in the flour mixture, then into the milk and egg mixture, and back into the flour. Arrange wings on a plate until each o ne is breaded. 6. Fry the wings in the oil for 9-12 minutes or until light, golden brown. If yo u have a small fryer, you may wish to fry 10 of the wings at a time. Drain on pa per towels or a rack. 7. When the sauce is done, brush the entire surface of each wing with a light co ating of sauce. Serve immediately. Source: (http://www.topsecretrecipes.com) Makes 2-4 servings (20 wings). Once a regular menu item, these sweet, saucy wings are now added to the KFC menu on a "limited-time-only" basis in many markets. So how are we to get that stick y sauce all over our faces and hands during those many months when we're cruelly denied our Honey BBQ Wings? Now it's as easy as whipping up a clone that recrea tes a crispy breading on the chicken wings, and then slathering those puppies in a tasty knockoff of the sweet, tangy honey BBQ sauce. "Limited-time-only" signs -- we laugh at you!

Beat in the yeast mixture and then with a stu rdy spoon work in remaining flour until you can toss it lightly on a floured su rface and knead it until it feels elastic in texture. The kneading may require about 2/3 cup additional flour, that you will be coati ng your hand with as you knead the dough. Don't let the dough become too stiff and yet you don't want it to stick to your hands. Place it in a large plastic f ood bag, which you can spray inside with Pam or wipe the inside of it with oil and place the ball of kneaded dough in this to rise until doubled in bulk. Be sure the plastic bag is large enough that it will permit the dough to double wi thout splitting the bag. You can place the bag of dough on a warm, sunny spot o n the table or kitchen counter which helps it to raise quickly and if it's summ ertime , place the bag of dough (with open end sealed tightly with tape) in you r car with the windows up! When dough has doubled, punch it down and shape it to fit two 15" round pizza p ans that have been greased and dusted in cornmeal. Add the sauce and topping i ngredients exactly in the order listed above, spreading each ingredients evenly over the dough. Let this rise about 20 minutes in a warm place and then bake a t 450F, about 20 to 25 minutes, putting one pizza at a time on center rack of t he preheated oven.

Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------------------------------water sugar imitation coconut extract blue food coloring cold sprite ice

1. Combine the water and the sugar in a small bowl. Microwave for 30-45 seconds, then stir to dissolve all of the sugar. Allow this syrup to cool. 2. Add coconut extract and food coloring to the cooled syrup. Stir well. 3. Combine the syrup with two 12-ounce cans of cold Sprite. Divide and pour over ice. (http://www.topsecretrecipes.com) Makes two 12-ounce servings. Any Sonic Drive-In regular knows the 3 or 4 unique fountain drink favorites on t he menu. There's the Limeade, the Diet Limeade, and, of course, the Cherry Limea de. But that bright blue stuff called Ocean Water has become a recent favorite f or anyone who digs the taste of coconut -- it's sort of like a pina colda soda. The chain simply squirts a bit of blue coconut syrup into some cold Sprite, and you're off. So the real secret to this puppy is recreating that sugary, blue fla vored syrup. That's the first step. The rest of it will be finished in less time than it takes to say, "Does my blue tongue clash with what I'm wearing?" OK If we are doing Sonic then this is how you make Cherry Limeade. My husband is from New Mexico and he says that out there is a place that calls it sweet cherr y lime. Anyway all you do is buy a jar of cherries and fresh limes and 7up or sprite. ( 7-up is better and closer) You pour the juice form the cherries into the 7"up and squeeze 1/2 a lime into e ach glass. Then just throw in a few cherries and half a Lime and you are done!

When the candy is firm, spread a thin layer of the peanut butter mixture on t op. 8. Microwave the remaining candy mixture for 1 minute on high, or until it becom es soft again.

9. Pour the softened candy over the peanut butter layer. 10. When the candy is cool but still pliable, (about 20 minutes later) turn it o ut onto a surface dusted lightly with cornstarch. Use a cornstarch-dusted rollin g pin to roll the candy about 1/4-inch thick. 11. Use kitchen scissors or a shar p knife to cut the candy into 1 1/2 x 1/2-inch rectangles. Makes 30 candies.

A couple years ago Taco Bell and Kraft Foods got together to produce a line of p roducts -- everything from taco kits to salsas and spice mixes -- all stamped wi th the familiar Taco Bell logo and available in supermarkets across the country. The idea was a winner, and now the Taco Bell line of products is among Kraft's top-sellers (30th place). The clone of this mix, made with a combination of comm on spices and corn starch, can be kept indefinitely until your brain's Fajita-cr aving neurons begin firing. When you're set to cook, you'll just need some chick en, a bell pepper and an onion, and then you simply follow the same instructions that you find on the package of the real thing.

Pack beef into ungreased 10" skillet on medium heat. Cover and let simmer, reduc ing to low heat after 5 minutes. You don't really want to over-brown the beef, but to allow some moisture to combine with the natural fat in the chuck to crea te a broth while it simmer. Depending on the percentage of fat content in the beef, I'd let it steam like t his for about 12-15 minutes. Turn off heat. Drain liquid from beef into blender with HALF of the beef. With on/off speed blend this mixture until it resembles a brick-layer's mortar. To the mixture of pulverized beef and the remaining half which you did not put into the blender, add onion, green pepper, mustard seed, bouillon powder and ch ili powder. Stir in hot pepper sauce, cumin powder, chili sauce, sweet pickle r elish, tomato paste, water, molasses and beef broth. (If you like a thinner sa uce, add more beef broth). Simmer this uncovered, stirring frequently to prevent scorching or use your slo w cooker on "high" for about 2 hours.
