Bon Appetit Baked Porridge -----Original Message----- From: Anna Sent: Friday, December 16, 2016 9:35 AM To: phaedrus@hungrybrowser.com Subject: List Recipe Porridge Hi! I have lost a recipe for baked porridge. The recipe appeared in Bon Appetit in the late 80's early 90's. It was in RSVP. It was from a ski lodge in Colorado. It's more relevant today then it was then. I can't find the magazine, the recipe or get any help from Bon Appetit Thanks so much Anna Hello Anna, Sorry, I had no success with this. I'll post it for reader input, but it will be after New Year's before it appears. Phaed From: Janet To: phaedrus@hungrybrowser.com Subject: Baked porridge recipe Date: Monday, February 06, 2017 6:14 PM In regards to the request for baked porridge on 1/27/17. There is a recipe called old-fashioned porridge on page 24 of the December 1991 issue of Bon Appétit. Since it's at the beginning of the book it was probably from the RSVP section. My collection ends on December 1990 but I happen to have an index for 1991. I checked my issues from the mid-80s to 1990 and didn't see anything with the title baked porridge. Perhaps the reader could let you know what the exact title of the recipe was. The bon appétit index is not quite is thorough as the gourmet magazine index was.

I loved their cakes as a kid. Thank you Monajean Hello Monajean, Sorry, no success with this. My Van de Kamp’s page is here: Van de Kamp's You’ll find a link on that page to a recipe that is supposed to “taste like” Van de Kamp’s white cake frosting. That’s the only thing I have ever been able to find. Van de Kamp’s actual recipes vanished when the bakery closed. As for the roses, someone asked that question and was told they were made of meringue here: Yahoo Answers Will post for reader input. Phaed UPDATE - Van de Kamp's Cake Frosting Roses Woolworth's Canada -----Original Message----- From: Maureen Sent: Friday, December 16, 2016 8:10 AM To: phaedrus@hungrybrowser.com Subject: Cake and icing recipe Hello, I am hoping you will be able to help me find a recipe from the Woolworths lunch counter in baking shop for their decorative cakes used for birthdays and special occasions. These cakes came in chocolate or vanilla and we're decorated with roses around the bottom and the top edge of the cake icing was usually white and the colour of roses was your choice. They froze like a charm and the icing was the sweetest I ever tasted. Do you have their icing recipes? If so I would very much appreciate you finding the vanilla birthday cake with icing for me. This cake and icing were being sold at Woolworth department store in Sudbury, Ontario Canada through the early 90s thank you, Maureen Hello Maureen, The recipe manual that I have is from F.W. Woolworth's lunch counters in the U.S.A. from the 1960s. My copy is missing the cake, pie and dessert recipes. I could not find anything about Woolworth's Canada decorative cakes. It may be relevant that Woolworth's in Canada, the UK, and other countries, while they were subsidiaries of F.W. Woolworth's U.S.A., were operated as separate companies and did not sell exactly the same products as the US stores. Phaed
