Caribbean cuisine, thy name means jerk - spices, that is - for rubbing on any edible critters that go on a dinner plate. Every cook, neighborhood, village, city and island has a distinct version ranging from tingly to scalding.<br />
<br />
<b>Chef Cheviour Lake</b>, instructor of <b>Caribbean Cooks </b>classes at <b>Fairview Great House and Botanical Garden</b> on St. Kitts, shared hers for pork and chicken. We had the chicken and it was delicious.<br />

<br />
<b>Jerk Pork Loin or Chicken Breasts</b><br />
<br />
Six servings <br />
<br />
2 lbs. pork loin or comparable amount large, boneless chicken breasts<br />
<br />
Jerk rub for seasoning<br />
<br />
1/4 cup ground allspice<br />
1/2 cup brown sugar<br />
8 cloves garlic<br />
4 hot peppers (jalapeno or scotch bonnet peppers will work)*<br />
2 bunches island herbs, garlic chives aka green onions<br />
1 tsp. cinnamon powder<br />
Grated nutmeg to taste<br />
Lime juice<br />
<br />
Blend all ingredients in a food processor or blender. <br />
<br />
*To make a mild rub, use de-seeded jalapenos; for spicier, leave the seeds in. Scalding? Scotch bonnets. Not sure? Go mild and serve with a bottle of hot sauce.<br />
<br />
Apply rub to meat.<br />
<br />
Heat a non-stick pot/skillet on medium for 15 minutes. Place meat into pan and sear for 2 minutes per pound on each side.<br />
<br />
Let meat sit for juices to settle then slice.<br />

You can't have a Caribbean style meal without fish.<br />
<br />
Chef Cheviour Lake, teacher for the Caribbean Cooks classes at <i><b>Fairview Great House and Botanical Garden </b></i>on St. Kitts, provided a recipe that can be used for almost any fish. Chef used grouper but any white fish will work.<br />
<br />

<b>West Indian Steamed Fish</b><br />
<br />
Servings for six<br />
<br />
3 large fish fillets of your choice (more if the only protein dish served)<br />
1/2 cup diced fresh tomatoes (leave seeds in for extra juice)<br />
1/2 cup diced green bell peppers<br />
1/2 clove garlic<br />
tomato paste (optional)<br />
1 sprig thyme<br />
1 sprig parsley<br />
1/4 cup grated carrot<br />
1 TBS olive oil<br />
1 TBS unsalted butter<br />
1 TBS lime juice<br />
1 cup water or stock<br />
1 TBS vegetable oil<br />
<br />
Seasoned fish with salt, pepper, herbs (thyme, bay leaf, garlic) one-half hour in advance.<br />
<br />
In a hot pan add olive oil and vegetable oil. Lightly saute onions, garlic and green bell pepper until golden brown. Add grated carrots, water/stock and lime juice.<br />
<br />
Bring to a boil and let simmer. Submerge fish fillets in pot and reduce liquid by half to intensify flavor. This should take 6-7 minutes. Add butter to finish.<br />

<b>Red Beans and Rice</b><br />
<br />
2 cups cooked white rice<br />
1/2 cup red beans, soaked overnight and boiled with a pinch of cinnamon<br />
1 medium onion, diced<br />

4 small seasoning peppers<br />
2 TBS unsalted butter<br />
salt and pepper to taste<br />
2 TBS vegetable oil<br />

Saute onion, peppers and celery in olive oil until lightly brown. Add butter, salt and pepper to taste, add rice and peas on low heat and stir, adding vegetable oil.<br />
<br />

That pinch of cinnamon in the rice is Chef Cheviour's secret for a tastier dish.<br />

Argentina and Chile have argued over who invented the Pisco Sour since the second one was served.

It was a summer afternoon in Mammoth Lakes, CA., when I had my first Eastern Retreat but it was hardly hot on Pokonobe's deck above Lake Mary. Actually we flatland-dwelling East Coasters were cold at the 8,000-foot Eastern Sierra mountain elevation.<br />
<br />

Nonetheless, I opted for the Eastern Retreat, which is saying a lot, especially as my fingers took on a blueish tinge while holding the glass. it was that good, kind of like a California Pimm's Cup created by the mixologists at the local <a href="http://shelterdistilling.com/distillery">Shelter Distillery</a> with their Gin the Third.<br />
<br />
While I obtained the recipe for an individual serving, many thanks to my friend and fellow travel writer<b> Susan Katzman </b>who thought to ask for the party-sized proportions. <br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
For several years, I have judged the annual <b>Bubbe's Bake Off </b>competition at <b>Congregation Ahaveth Chesed's Jacksonville Jewish Food Festival</b>.<br />
<br />
This year's, the seventh, the judging panel was particularly impressed
with entries in the children's category. Both first- and
second-place-winning young bakers found their recipes on line but they
prepared the entries themselves; no adults are allowed in the kitchen
during prep and baking.<br />
<br />

grandpa, who passed away in January of 2018. He LOVED all desserts, but the
combo of chocolate and peanut butter was definitely in his top favorites. I got the inspiration from my
dad. We were talking about cake flavors for the bake-off, and he reminded me of
my grandpa and his favorite desserts. That's when it hit me to do this cake.
Thanks, Daddy!"</span></div>

For several years, I have judged the annual <b>Bubbe's Bake Off </b>competition at <b>Congregation Ahaveth Chesed's Jacksonville Jewish Food Festival</b>.<br />
<br />
This year's, the seventh, the judging panel was particularly impressed with entries in the children's category. Both first- and second-place-winning young bakers found their recipes on line but they prepared the entries themselves; no adults are allowed in the kitchen during prep and baking.<br />
<br />
Here is the first place winner so you can taste for yourself. Second place will follow later.<br />
<br />
First place: <b>Hannah Brown</b>, 13, said summers with lemons and picking blueberries with her grandmother was her inspiration for choosing this recipe from <a href="https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/2014/02/09/lemon-blueberry-layer-cake/">https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/2014/02/09/lemon-blueberry-layer-cake/ </a><br />

attachment, beat the butter on high until creamy -- about 1 minute. Add
granulated and brown sugars and beat on medium-high speed until creamed, about
2-3 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla. Beat on medium speed until everything is
completely combined, about 2 full minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of
the bowl as needed. Set aside.</span></div>

baking powder and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.
Beat on low speed for 5 seconds, then add the milk, lemon zest, and lemon
juice. Remove from the mixer and stir lightly until everything is just
combined. Toss the blueberries in 1 tablespoon of flour and fold into the
batter. Batter is extremely thick. Do not over-mix at any point. Over-mixing
will lend a tough, dense textured crumb.</span></div>

attachment, beat cream cheese and butter together on medium speed until no
lumps remain, about 3 full minutes. Add confectioners' sugar, 1 tablespoon
cream, vanilla extract, and salt with the mixer running on low. Increase to
high speed and beat for 3 minutes. Add 1 more tablespoon of cream to thin out,
if desired. Recipe is enough for a light frost.</span></div>

the cake layers to create a flat surface. Place 1 layer on your cake stand.
Evenly cover the top with cream cheese frosting. Top with 2nd layer, more
frosting, then the third layer. Top with frosting and spread around the sides.
Top with blueberries or lemon garnish if desired. Refrigerate for at least 45
minutes before cutting, or the cake may fall apart as you cut.</span></div>

Keep cakes at room temperature, covered tightly. Refrigerate prepared frosting
in an airtight container until ready to use. Frosted or unfrosted cakes may be
frozen up to 2 months, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and bring to room
temperature if desired before serving.</span></div>

Spur-of-the-moment on a Friday night in Valdosta, GA, the last thing I expected to find was a table at a must-try, memorable restaurant. To be honest, I didn't expect anything better than a chain joint, but <a href="http://www.steelmagnoliasrestaurant.com/"><b>Steel Maganolias</b></a> in a downtown where most sidewalks were rolled up was a revelation.<br />
<br />
So was learning Valdosta had a Restaurant Week and my friends and I had stumbled into it. A three-course meal for $25? Perfect.<br />
<br />
The Kale Salad with blueberries, feta, toasted almonds with Georgia Peach vinaigrette almost was, but the Pan-seared Sea Scallops with Yukon gold mashed potatoes, tomato, corn and green onion salsa and silver queen corn butter hit bulls-eye on the perfection target. Especially the silver queen corn butter. It could make shoe leather a gourmet treat.<br />
<br />
When I prevailed upon owner/chef/manager <b>Keira Moritz</b> for the butter recipe, she could not have been more gracious.<br />
<br />
So quick, go to your farmer's market, grab that corn and get cooking.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>Steel Magnolias Silver Queen Corn Butter</b></h3>
Makes about one quart.<br />
<br />
6 ears of silver queen corn<br />
1 quart corn stock<br />
white onion, minced<br />
3/4 quart cream<br />
1-2 cloves garlic<br />
8 oz. butter<br />
olive oil<br />
salt and white pepper<br />
<br />
Cut corn off the cob.<br />
Put cobs in a large covered pot with a bit of the onion, salt and pepper and add just enough water to cover. Boil until reduced to one cup.<br />
<br />
Saute corn in oil with garlic then add corn stock and cream. Reduce by one-fourth and season to taste with salt and pepper. Mix with butter in a blender and strain if desired.<br />
<br />

So when <b>Chef Jamil</b> shared this South African-inspired recipe my mouth began watering and I wanted to share it. Takes bit of doing for the home cook, but doesn't your tongue tingle imagining the results?<br />

If you've ever wonder how Santa keeps warm while flying around the world on those snowy Christmas Eve nights, I may have the answer.<br />
<br />
<b>Phillip Ivey</b>, longtime bartender at <b><a href="http://www.carolinainn.com/crossroads-restaurant.php">Carolina Crossroads Restaurant and Bar</a>,</b> shared his holiday cocktail dubbed Santa’s Secret Martini. It should put a jingle or two in your step in addition to warming you up.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>Santa’s Secret Martini</b></h3>
1 oz. Domanie de Canton<br />
1 oz. Stoli Vanilla<br />
½ oz. Kahlua<br />
½ oz. Bailey’s<br />
Splash of Cinnamon Schnapps ~ Just a Splash!<br />
1 oz. cream<br />
<br />
Add all ingredients into a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously.<br />
Pour into a martini glass rimmed in colored sugar and cinnamon.<br />
Garnish with a cinnamon stick.<br />
<br />

Combine Indian fry bread and taco filling for a satisfying treat.<br />
<br />
At the beginning of the 2012 inaugural <a href="http://www.goodgirlsinthebadlands.blogspot.com/"><b>Good Girls in the Badlands Road Trip</b></a>, <b>Debi Lander</b> and I were so busy photographing the eerie landscapes (and wiping away the sweat from 105-degree temps) we forgot to photograph our first lunch in the Badlands of South Dakota. In our defense, we were also very hungry.<br />
<br />
Which is a long way to explain why there's no photograph of Indian Tacos. A shame because the <a href="http://www.cedarpasslodge.com/badlands-dining"><b>Cedar Pass Lodge</b> <b>Restaurant</b></a> produces a great one that looks as good as it tastes. Theirs is made with buffalo meat, which I recommend, but beef can be substituted.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Cedar Pass Lodge Restaurant Indian Tacos</b></div>
Serves 4<br />
<br />
Fry Bread<br />
1/4 cup sugar<br />
2 cups flour<br />
1 tsp. salt<br />
3 tsp. baking powder<br />
1 cup water (or enough to make a soft dough)<br />
Mix ingredients together. Using a big spoon, drop dough onto a floured surface and pat down to about an inch thick. Fry in 1 to 2 inches of oil at 350 degrees (f) until golden brown. Drain.<br />
<br />
Topping<br />
32 oz. refried beans<br />
1 lb. ground buffalo meat or beef<br />
1-2 pkgs. Taco seasonings<br />
Brown meat, stir in refried beans and taco seasoning. Spread meat on top of fry bread. Top with cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. Make it even better by adding guacamole, sour cream and salsa.<br />
<br />
<b>Note: </b>Get ready for some good Southern cookin' recipes because the Good Girls are invading Georgia this year. <br />

<h3>
Ruth Pretty's Roasted Mushroom and Lemon Thyme Pie</h3>
Serves 6<br />
<br />
8 Portobello mushrooms, thickly sliced<br />
28-32 Swiss Brown mushrooms, thickly sliced<br />
24-28 white small button mushrooms, halved<br />
1/2 cup olive oil<br />
4 TBS. (1/4 cup) finely chopped lemon thyme leaves<br />
flaky sea salt and ground black pepper<br />
flour for rolling pastry<br />
1 pound to 18 oz. puff pastry, the most buttery version you can buy<br />
1/2 cup cream cheese, diced<br />
4 TBS. finely grated Parmesan cheese<br />
1 egg, lightly beaten<br />
1 TBS lemon juice, finely grated zest of one lemon<br />
3 spring onions, white parts roughly chopped<br />
1 egg, separated<br />
shaved Parmesan to garnish (optional)<br />
<br />
• Pre-heat oven to 400-degree (F) <br /><br />
• Toss mushrooms in olive oil and thyme. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper and place on a low sided baking tray. Place in oven and roast for 8-10 minutes until mushrooms are soft and juicy. Drain the cooking juices (discard or save for another use) and cool mushrooms. Taste for seasoning.<br /><br />
• Very lightly sprinkle flour onto pastry bench and roll out pastry to a 18-20-inch round. Place round onto a low sided baking tray and place into refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.<br /><br />
• Place cream cheese, Parmesan, egg, lemon juice, zest and spring onions into a bowl and using a wooden spoon combine. Add salt and pepper to taste.<br /><br />
• Spread cream cheese mixture onto the center of the pastry round leaving an 3/8-inch border. Pile roasted mushrooms on top of the cream cheese mixture.<br /><br />
• Place egg white in a bowl and loosen with a fork. Brush egg white around pastry border and fold pastry, pleating as you go, to partially cover the mushrooms.<br /><br />
• Rest pie for 30 minutes in the refrigerator, or overnight.<br /><br />
• Whisk the egg yolk with a tablespoon of water to make an egg wash. Brush outside of the galette with egg wash and bake for 25-30 minutes until cooked and golden brown.<br /><br />
• Serve hot, warm or cold. If you wish garnish with shaved Parmesan.<br />Judy Wellshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16318216013919007063noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1262925401727703552.post-1566939119311555942013-04-09T07:31:00.001-07:002013-04-09T07:49:33.094-07:00Level 8 bar snacks: Most addictive ever<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Like poutine, another traditional winter treat, Quebec City's Caribou has more than one version.<br />

According to the official website, this is the first.<br />
<br />
"Caribou, a feisty alcoholic beverage, became popular in the early Carnivals. The recipe was created by Ti-Père, a business that was first established on Ste-Thérèse Street in the lower city, then, more recently, in Old Québec.

Miss Olivia doesn't tolerate dumb people or bad recipes, one reason her eponymous tea room in Maryville (pronounced Muryvl by the natives), Tennessee, is so popular.<br />
<br />
Another reason to love Miss Olivia, this long-time food writer and beloved local TV personality shares her recipes.<br />
<br />
Thus, I give you, Miss Olivia's extraordinary bread pudding. Hint: the secret's kin the bread for as Miss Olivia says, "stale bread, stale pudding."<br />
