Sometime in the 60's my wife and I bought a book of famous people's
favorite dishes and recipes (I think it was just sports stars--but all
sports). In it Willie Mays submitted a recipe for spare ribs cooked with
prunes and finished off with a sour cream sauce. We've lost the book and
recipe. Can you find it or help?

Hello Paul,
Yes, I've lived in Mississippi most all my life.
I cannot find a recipe that fits your description. It sounds like a variation
on "borekakia apo tiri" (Greek Feta Rolls) or cheese burek. However, those
are usually made with filo (phyllo), not pita, and I did not find any with honey.

Hi!
I found your website and I think the whole idea is great! You help a lot of
people. I was wondering if you could help me. I am looking to surprise my
friend by making her a special cake for her baby shower. This is all I have
to go on:
"My favorite cake in the whole world is a concoction of chocolate and
hazelnuts, but it's very difficult to make and very unlikely to buy around
here. It's a Bosnian recipe."
I was wondering if you had any way to find a Bosnian chocolate hazelnut cake
recipe. I have tried some basic google but not had much luck. I tried your
website google feature and I will go with the german (bavarian) hazelnut
torte if you think that is the closest I can get.
Thank you so very much!

I have been trying to locate a recipe I used back in the early 1970's and
I believe it came from a recipe card from a Gold Medal flour bag or a recipe
from the bag itself. I recall making a crust from the flour, adding either
canned apple pie filling or just the canned sliced apples - not thickened.
Then I put a slice of American cheese on top and baked. Cannot remember the
spices used, if any...this is all I can remember. Can you help? Thanks.

I have this recipe which sounds very close but not exact to what they want.

3 medium apples, pared, cored and thinly sliced
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Hi,
Back in the late 60's I went to Weight Watcher's and they had a recipe
for poo-poo candy made with chocolate alba, crushed pineapple and all
bran cereal. I don't remember the amounts but my daughter is always asking
me for this recipe. Can you help find it for me, thanks, Nell
