Hi Judy,
It was not too difficult. See below.
Phaed
Boccone Dolce (Sweet Mouthful)
Recipe from A Treasury of Great Recipes by Mary and Vincent Price. This is a
classic northern Italian dessert. The combination of strawberries and
chocolate in a meringue is enough to send you right out of this world!
----------------------------------------------------------
Meringue Layers (see recipe below)
6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate pieces
3 tablespoons water
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
3 cups heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pint fresh strawberries, sliced
1 pint strawberries, sliced; sugared
Chocolate curls (for garnish)
Make Meringue Layers. Melt over hot water the chocolate pieces and water.
When perfectly smooth, remove from heat and cool (but don't let harden).
In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff; gradually add powdered
sugar and then vanilla extract.
Slice two pints of strawberries: One is used between cake layers, the other
is sliced, sugared and refrigerated to produce more juice. The sugared
berries are served as a sauce. Save several whole berries for garnish.
To assemble, place a meringue layer on a serving plate, rounded side down.
Spread a VERY THIN coating of chocolate over it. NOTE: GO EASY on
chocolate - too much will make it impossible to cut cake!
Top chocolate with a layer (about 3/4-inch thick) of whipped cream. Top
cream with a layer of sliced berries. Place a second layer of meringue on
top of this, and repeat filling. Top with final meringue, rounded side up,
and frost sides and top smoothly with remaining whipped cream. Additional
cream may be used to pipe a design onto sides and top of cake.
Refrigerator at least 4 hours or overnight. Garnish with several whole
strawberries and chocolate curls.
Makes 8 servings.
Meringue Layers:
4 egg whites, room temperature
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup superfine sugar
Preheat oven to 275 degrees F. In mixer, beat egg whites, salt, cream of
tartar, cider vinegar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Gradually
beat in sugar and continue beating until meringue is stiff and glossy.
Line baking sheets with parchment or waxed paper. Trace three, eight-inch
circles on paper. Spread meringue evenly and equally over circles. Bake one
hour or until meringue becomes bisque colored. Then turn off oven, open oven
door and let meringues "rest" in oven another 15 minutes. Remove from oven
and carefully peel off parchment or waxed paper. Put cake on racks to dry
until thoroughly cool. Once cooled, meringues may be wrapped in saran and
frozen. NOTE: I wrap each meringue in several saran layers, then stack
(gently!) in a large plastic container for freezing. Remove from freezer at
least an hour before assembling.

Hi Cathy,
Could this be it?
Phaed
Dough Patches
1) In a bowl, beat an egg with a fork.
2) Salt to taste. If you are going to add herbs or whatever, do it now.
3) Slowly beat in flour to a soft kneadable dough.
4) Turn out and knead a few times.
5) Roll out as for a pie crust or pat out with your hands.
6) With a floured pastry wheel, pizza cutter or knife, cut into squares
or diamonds or triangles about 3/4" to 1" wide.
7) Stir into simmering soup or stew or boiling water.
As a side dish, dress patches with diced bacon/ onion/ bread cubes/
herbs (parsley or sage)/ seeds (caraway or poppy)/ whatever sauteed
briefly in bacon drippings or butter.
