It's an Elizabethan concoction that involves eggs broken on top of the
parsley filling before the top crust is put on. I'd like to serve it for new

Hello David,
No problem - ask as many questions as you like, one per.
I'm not confident that I found the parsley pie recipe that you want. The
only one that I could find was the below Welsh recipe. There were no recipes
for this on the Gourmet/Bon Appetit site.

Hi
I found another one.
Parsley Pie (1-5-2004)
Parsley Pie
Lightly butter an 8-inch pie tin and pour in 1/2 cup heavy cream.
Distribute 2 1/2 cup coarsley chopped parsley, stems removed, over
the cream and gently break 4 eggs over the parsley, arranging them
symmetrically. In a skillet sauté 3 slices of bacon, chopped, until
they are crisp and pour the bacon and fat over the eggs. Sprinkle
the mixture with salt and pepper and scatter 1 1/2 cups more chopped
parsley over it.
Make 1/2 recipe pâte brisée and roll it into a round 1/8 inch thick
on a lightly floured surface. Drape the dough over the rolling pin
and arrange it over the parsley mixture. Trim the edge, leaving a
1/2-inch overhang. Tuck the overhang under, pressing it against the
rim of the tin , and crimp the edges decoratively. Cut several slits
in the crust, brush the crust with an egg wash made by lightly beating
1 egg yolk with 1 tablespoon cream, and bake the pie in a preheated
hot oven (400° F.) for 20 minutes. Serves 4 as a luncheon main course.

Hi Janet,
Well, there are a lot of sweet or dessert ravioli recipes with a variety of
fillings. However, I couldn't find one with mincemeat and apple butter. But
see below for some recipes.
Phaed
Ravioli Dolce (Sweet Ravioli)
1 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup white sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cherry preserves
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar for dusting
Directions
1. In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat
in the egg, then stir in the vanilla and almond extracts and lemon zest.
Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; stir into the creamed mixture until
a smooth dough forms. Divide dough into halves. Roll each portion out
between two sheets of waxed paper into a 12 inch square. Refrigerate for at
least one hour.
2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
3. Remove one piece of the dough from the refrigerator, remove the top layer
of waxed paper, and cut into 1 1/2 inch squares. Place about 1/4 teaspoon of
the cherry preserves into the center of the first sheet of squares. Set
aside. Remove the remaining piece of dough from the refrigerator, remove top
layer of waxed paper, and cut into 1 1/2 inch squares also. Poke holes for
venting in these squares using a fork. Place each vented square over one of
the filled squares, and gently seal the edges by pressing with the tines of
a fork. Place cookies 2 inches apart onto prepared cookie sheets.
4. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are
lightly browned. Allow cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheets
before removing to wire racks to cool completely. Dust cookies with
confectioners' sugar while they are still warm.

Ravioli San Guiseppe
Recipe By :
Serving Size : 20 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Desserts
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
For Dough
8 oz Plain flour, sifted
Pinch of salt
2 1/2 oz Caster sugar
4 1/2 oz Butter, diced
1 Egg
1/2 ts Finely grated lemon zest
FOR FILLING
3 fl Hot weak China tea
12 oz Caster sugar
6 No need to soak prunes
1 lb Apples
2 oz Pine nut kernels
Icing sugar to dust
TO SERVE
Whipped cream or vanilla
Ice cream.
To make the dough, put the flour, salt and sugar in a
food processor and, with the machine running at full
speed, add the butter until incorporated. Then add the
egg and lemon zest and process for a few seconds until
a soft dough has formed. Scrape the dough onto a sheet
of clingfilm, then form into a cylinder and chill for
at least 1 hour. To make the filling, sweeten the tea
with 2 tspn sugar and soak the prunes in it. Peel,
core and slice the apples. Put the rest of the sugar
in a large pan with 2 tbsp water. Heat gently,
stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved.
Add the apple slices. Increase the heat to medium and
cook, without stirring, until the apples are candied
(approx. 20 mins). Most of the liquid will evaporate
leaving a thick syrup. Drain and chop the prunes and
add to the pan with the pine nut kernels. Remove from
the heat, cool slightly then transfer to a bowl and
leave to cool. Preheat the oven to 180'C (350'F). To
assemble the ravioli, cut a slice off the end of the
dough cylinder and roll out on a floured surface. Use
a 3 inch cutter to cut out a neat circle. Repeat using
the rest of the dough to make approx. 20 circles.
Place a small spoonful of the filling on each circle.
Brush the edges with a little water and fold over to
make a half circle. Crimp the edges to seal firmly.
Place all the ravioli on a greased baking sheet and
bake for 10-15 minutes or until light golden. Cool
slightly and dust with icing sugar and serve with
cream or ice cream.

paper, and cut dough into 1-1/2-inch squares. Place 1/4 teaspoon raspberry
preserves in center of half of squares; brush edges of filled squares with
water. Place unfilled squares over filled squares; press edges to seal. Cut
an X on top of each. Repeat with remaining dough and preserves.
Place cookies on greased cookie sheets, and bake at 350 degrees F. for 9 to
11 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove from oven, and cool on

Hi Kelly,
I found a recipe for making your own sour cream, but it's a bit
complicated... See below.
My suggestion is to substitute plain yogurt for sour cream . You can use
yogurt asia, but the following sour cream substitute recipe has a great
taste, and is made with yogurt:
"Dump 1% Yogurt into a sieve lined with paper towels. Put a bowl under this
and keep in in the refrigerator over night. Dump out the water in the bowl.
Use the ex-yogurt as you would sour cream."
You can also use Quark as a sour cream substitute, if you can find it. You
can make a sour cream substitute by mixing 1 tablespoon of lemon juice with
enough evaporated milk to bring the total up to 1 cup, but this is mainly
for cooking.
There's also a recipe below for a sour cream substitute made with tofu.
Phaed
Sour Cream
The equipment you will need includes a double-boiler, a dairy thermometer,
and a quart jar. If you do not have a double-boiler, you can use two
stainless pots, one which fits inside the other.
For ingredients you will need: 1 quart of heavy sweet cream that has an
acid level of at least 1 %
3 1/2 tablespoons cultured starter
The cultured starter is a streptococcus lactis bacteria that is available
in freeze-dried packets at health food stores, dairy suppliers, or cheese
making stores.
The first step is to pasteurize the cream to prevent the development of
undesirable bacteria. To do this, use a double-boiler or pour cold water
in the bottom of the larger pan and then place the smaller pan on top
(make sure the water is high enough to touch the bottom of the smaller
pan).
Pour the cream in the upper pot and place the dairy thermometer in the
cream.
Over moderate heat, bring the temperature of the cream up to between 155°
and 160° F. Adjust the heat so the temperature is maintained for 30 minutes.
Next, cool the cream quickly to 85° F by setting the upper pot in a sink full
of ice water. It is important to lower the temperature quickly to get the
culturing process underway without long exposure of the cream to open air.
To begin the culturing pour half of the cream into the jar and add the
starter. Mix thoroughly and then add the remaining cream to within 3/4 inch
of the top. Put the cover on and shake until contents are thoroughly mixed.
Set the cream in a warm, draft-free place with a constant temperature between
70° and 80° F for 15-24 hours. Test after 15 hours. If more acidity is wanted
then let the jar stand for several hours longer. Chill in the jar for at least
24 more hours before using.
This recipe for sour cream was taken from the book "The Complete Dairy
Foods Cookbook" by E. Annie Proulx and Lew Nichols.

juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2 chopped parsley

1 tbsp dill
Directions:
Blend tofu and lemon until smooth. Remove from blender and stir in parsley
and green onion. You can also substitute fresh herbs for the parsley and

Serves: 3 - 4
Preparation time: 10 mins

Hello Maryls,
Sure:
Monosodium Glutamate (or MSG) is a white crystalline powdery compound that
is derived from glutamic acid, which is one of the 22 amino acids that your
body uses to make protein. Its chemical formula is COOH ~ (CH2)2CH(NH2)COONa
(the numbers should be subscripts). It's naturally found in seaweed,
vegetables, grain gluten, and in the processing residue from sugar beets.
MSG has little or no flavor of its own, but it has the ability to enhance
the flavor of many foods. It's used widely in oriental cooking. In fact, it
was discovered by Japanese chemists in the 1920's. It is sold under its own
name or under brand names such as "Accent". The "glutamate" part of the name
comes from the fact that it is a glutamic acid compound, and the "monosodium"
means that it's formed with one (mono) ion of sodium(Na)
