ANZAC is an acronym for Australia New Zealand Army Corps. If you saw the movie “Gallipoli,” you know who these guys are. The corps served with distinction in World War I but ceased to exist when Australia and New Zealand were no longer lumped together by the British as a single entity. There are several stories about the origin of these cookies (which the Aussies, like the Brits, call “biscuits”). Some claim that a group of women created them for care packages for soldier...

As previously noted, I ordered a Haggis from Heritage Foods for Robbie Burns Birthday. The haggis arrived on Thursday. The birthday was Friday. Since this haggis was a spur of the moment thing I hadn't made any plans concerning Robbie's birthday and had to scramble to find some people to share it with. There was much apprehension; one person initially answered that it was quite out of the question, that she couldn't eat animal innards. I suggested that since this was an Americaniz...

Since there has been an interest in haggis and cotechino in Foodsville, I thought someone might be interested in this Armenian dish, which is similar. Lamb is the meat here, the flesh of choice in that part of the world.

This recipe was one I learned from my wife's roommate in college. It is easy to prepare and is a great alternative to lasagna. I'm sure any noodle could be used, but since the recipe is named "Mostaccioli," I have never altered the pasta.

This is a recipe from one of the Daily feeds. I wanted to save it to my favorites. It does not give amounts for LACrawfish seasonings or can size of tomatoes. Regular tomatoes and green chilies could be substituted for tomatoes with chilies.<table width="94%"><tbody><tr><td height="18" align="center"> </td></tr><tr><td width="43%"> </td><td width="57%"> </td></tr&

This might just be my favorite dish ever. It's stolen from a Paula Wolfert cookbook with only a couple of minor mods. She uses lamb shoulder with bones, I use trimmed boneless leg of lamb (from Costco). It's a nicer presentation, I can't taste a significant difference and it saves the dreaded "picking" out the bones step. (I'm also of the opinion that once you remove the bones and fat, the price per pound isn't much different.) I also substitute Muir Glen (wort...

Like Holy Matrimony, "It should not be entered into unadvisedly or lightly. Do not hurry the 'building' thereof, but proceed wih a Piscatorial Ode in your heart, and don't forget the black pepper."

Note: when building the chowder, none of the items in steps 1-4 need to be kept hot.

This is a recipe that my mother learned from her grandmother back in Russia. The cookies are very easy to make and have always been a family favorite. I hope you enjoy them,too.

Friday the 25th is Robbie Burns Birthday. Does everyone have their haggis and single malt? My haggis is coming from Heritage Foods and doesn't contain all the nasty bits that traditional haggis has - like lungs and pancreas and everything from the inside of the sheep along with some oatmeal and seasonings. I don't know what it has, but it isn't going to be very traditional. It does have oatmeal and liver, but isn't cooked in a sheep's stomack and seems to be lacking all

From The Art Of Cooking With Steam Jacques Maniere, Translated by Stephanie Lyness

    "Maniere culled Poulet "au Blanc" from   - a dish of braised chicken bathed in a rich white sauce made with the strained braising liquid, thickened with cream and egg and garnished with mushrooms - from the repertoire of classic French Cuisine. But Maniere's steamed chicken has more flavor than the usual braised chicken; the juices drip into and enrich the stock below..
