Subject: Hungry Tiger mushroom salad
Just found you site. Great! First time I've found a recipe for livermush (one of my favorites growing up in western NC).
While I worked in downtown LA in the mid-80's a favorite lunch was oysters on the half shell and a mushroom salad at the
Hungry Tiger chain restaurant there. Sadly the chain was bought out by WR Grace and disappeared shortly thereafter.
I'd greatly appreciate it if you could find that recipe. Thanks for a really good site.
Dick
Hello Dick,
I’m sorry to say that I had no success locating The Hungry Tiger’s mushroom salad recipe. I tried to find a mushroom salad recipe by any of the former
Hungry Tiger chefs David May, Rene Robin or Marcel Frantz, but had no success there, either.
I’ll post this request on my site in case a reader can help.
The Hungry Tiger Seafood Restaurant chain in the Los Angeles area had an interesting history. It had no connection with “The Hungry Tiger Too” in
Portland, Oregon, nor any connection with the various “Hungry Tiger” Chinese restaurants around the country. It came into being in 1962,
when Bob Prescott and Wayne Hoffman bought out an indebted Italian restaurant on Ventura Boulevard in Sherman Oaks. Bob Prescott was a former
Flying Tigers pilot in World War Two and founder/president of the “Flying Tigers” air freight company, of which Wayne Hoffman was chairman.
The chain grew to 40 locations, but later began to have financial problems and was purchased by WR Grace. I read that it was absorbed into
another chain called “Reuben’s”. Flying Tigers also operated a recording company subsidiary, Happy Tiger Records, from 1969 to 1971.
Federal Express bought Flying Tigers air freight in December 1988, and in 1989 merged Flying Tigers into their own operations.

Subject: Daisy Chef's Pot Spaghetti Sauce Recipe
I have searched high and low for years for the Spaghetti Sauce Recipe that came with my Daisy Chef's Pot in about 1987.
I lost the recipe in the mid 90's and I would be so happy if anybody has a copy of the recipe book or the recipe.

Hi Candy,
I had no success looking for this recipe, nor for an online copy of the Owner’s manual with the recipes.
There are lots of requests for the manual on various message boards. A few copies have been sold through EBay in the past.
I’ll post the request on my site.

Please, if anyone has the Dazey Chef's Pot manual, could you scan the pages, directions and recipes, (or at least the spaghetti sauce recipe) and send them to me?
Thanks,
Phaed

Brown ground beef and sauce at 300 degree setting on chef's pot. Add onion and garlic. Stir meat while cooking, to crumble meat.
Add remaining ingredients and simmer at 200 degrees for 1 1/2- 2 hours. Stir occasionally during cooking time.

C.S. sent me a scanned *.pdf of the Dazey Chef's Pot owner's manual, but it is just operating instructions and general tips for cooking certain types of dishes. No actual recipes.

Subject: Mediterranean Torte
Hello again
Several years ago, in the Grand Rapids, MI Press, there was a recipe for MEDITERRANEAN TORTE.
Cheese was layered with pesto and sun-dried tomatoes in a round casserole lined with plastic wrap.
It was refrigerated several hours then lifted out by the plastic wrap "handles" and placed on a platter
I hope you can find this one. It is delicious
Thanks
Adele
Hello Adele,
This recipe is not in the Grand Rapids Press online food archives, but they only go back to 2008 and may not include all recipes that have appeared in the paper even since then.
https://www.mlive.com/food/index.ssf/gr_press/
I had no success finding any Mediterranean Torte recipe on the Internet that stated that it was from the Grand Rapids Press, nor did I find one that specifically said to remove the
torte from the dish by lifting the plastic wrap. I did find one that is very similar to your description except for that. See:
Incredible Mediterranean Torte
Your best bet to find the recipe that appeared in the Grand Rapids Press is to post your request on their food forum. See:
Mlive.com
