Hello -
I tried some of the links provided on your site, but couldn't find
these and thought maybe you could.
I'm trying to find the following two recipes -
CiCi's Pizza's "Spinach Alfredo Pizza"
Johnny Carino's "Penne Gorgonzola"
Can you help? Thanks.
Catherine

Drop kumquats one at a time into rapidly boiling water to cover.
Cook at least 10 minutes or until tender. Meanwhile, combine corn
syrup, sugar and 3 1/3 cup water in deep kettle. Bring to boil and
stirring frequently 10 minutes. Add drained kumquats. Boil slowly,

A bunch of us are going crazy trying to find the origin of
Joe Booker Stew and we aren't getting very far!
Can you help us, Unc?
Andi

Hi Andi,
Good question! It's one that I couldn't find an answer to, either.
"Joe Booker" or "Joe Booker stew" is supposed to be a traditional
New England dish, but my wife was born & raised in Maine, and she
had never heard of it. None of her Maine or New England cookbooks
even had the recipe. My copy of "Dictionary of American Food and
Drink" by John Mariani had no mention of it. I grew up in the Southern
US, and it's not a Southern dish as far as I know.
I found several recipes for the dish online, but none of them shed any
light on where the name came from. I also searched for any historical
figure named "Joe Booker" in New England, but I struck out there as well.
It may have begun as a local dish in Boothbay Harbor, Maine, and Joe Booker
may have been a Revolutionary War soldier. See Plating Up
If you ever find out, please let me know.

Recipes:
Joe Booker
Bacon 3 slices
Lean beef 2 cups diced
Turnip 2 cups diced
Potatoes 2 cups diced
Onions 1 cup diced
Carrots 2 cups diced
Water 8 cups
Salt
Pepper
In a large, heavy bottomed pot; fry the bacon until crisp.
Set the bacon strips aside.
Brown the beef in the bacon fat.
Add the water & vegetables to the pot.
Simmer 2 hours or until the meat is tender.
Season to taste.
Make a bacon sandwich for yourself. You'll be hungry long before
this is ready.
---------------------
Joe Booker Stew
Stew
1/2 pound lean salt pork, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1/8 tsp crumbled dried thyme
2 tsp salt
Freshly ground black pepper
4 medium-sized onions, peeled and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch slices
2 medium-sized boiling potatoes,(about 11/2 cups) peeled and cut into 1/2-inch
2 pounds lean beef chuck, trimmed of excess fat and cut into 1-inch cubes (about 2 cups)
12 medium-sized carrots, scraped and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/4 c flour
6 c water
1 medium-sized white rutabaga, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 1 cup)
4 sprigs fresh parsley and 1 small bay leaf tied together with kitchen string
In a heavy 12-inch skillet at least 3 inches deep, fry the salt pork
dice over moderate heat, turning them about frequently with a slotted
spoon until they are crisp and brown and have rendered all their fat.
Remove the pork bits and discard them.
Add the onions to the fat in the skillet and, stirring frequently,
cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are soft and delicately brown.
With a slotted spoon, transfer the onions to a bowl and set aside.
Pat the beef cubes completely dry with paper towels, roll them in 1/4 cup
of flour to coat them on all sides and shake off the excess flour. Brown
6 or 7 cubes at a time in the hot fat remaining in the skillet, turning
them with a slotted spoon and regulating the heat so that they color
evenly without burning. As they brown, add the cubes to the onions.
Pour 1 cup of water into the skillet and bring to a boil over high heat,
stirring constantly and scraping in the brown particles that cling to
the bottom and sides of the pan. Return the onions and beef and the
liquid that has accumulated around them to the skillet. Add the remaining
5 cups of water, the parsley and bay leaf, the thyme, salt and a liberal
grinding of pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat to
low, cover tightly and simmer for 1 hour. Stir in the potatoes, carrots
and rutabaga, cover again and simmer for 30 minutes longer.
Parsley Dumplings
2 c flour
1 T double-acting baking powder
1 1/3 cups milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 c finely chopped fresh parley
2 T butter, cut into 1/2-inch bits and softened
Meanwhile, prepare the parsley dumplings in the following fashion:
Combine the 2 cups of flour, baking powder and 1/2 tsp of salt and sift
them into a deep bowl. Add the butter bits and, with your fingers, rub
the flour and fat together until they look like flakes of coarse meal.
Add the milk and chopped parsley and beat vigorously with a spoon until
the dumpling mixture is smooth.
Remove the parsley and bay leaf from the simmering stew, and drop the
dumpling mixture on top by the heaping tablespoon. Cover tightly and
simmer undisturbed for about 10 minutes longer. The dumplings are done
when they are puffed and fluffy, and a cake tester inserted in the
center of a dumpling comes out clean.
Remove the dumplings and transfer the stew to a preheated bowl or deep
platter. Arrange the dumplings on top and serve at once. Serves 6.

1 teaspoon salt
4 cups flour
melted butter, for topping
1 package cocktail smoked sausage links

1/4 cup sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
4. Mix in the egg yolks, milk, and salt, combining well.
5. Stir in the dissolved yeast and the flour, and mix until the

6. Cover the dough with a towel, and set the dough aside to rise

7. Grease a baking sheet.
8. Pinch off pieces of dough about the size of a golf ball, flatten
the balls slightly, and transfer them to the baking sheet.
9. Place the balls at least 1 inch apart, and brush them liberally
with the melted butter.
10. Set them aside to double in size again, about 45 minutes to one hour.
11. Gently indent the top of the dough with your thumb, fairly deep.
12. Place the little pinky size smoked sausage link (could be a spicy
sausage link, or could add cheese and/or jalapeno with the sausage
link, too) in the indent and fold the kolache over the sausage and seal.
13. Bake in 425 oven for 10- 12 minutes or until golden brown.
14. Immediately brush butter on the top.
