Subject: About turkey.
To whom it may concern:
Would you please recommend a book that contains information
on how to bone a turkey so that I can make a turkey roast.
I plan to wrap the turkey around precooked stuffing and tie
like a roast.
Thanking you in advance for your reply.
Tom.
Hello Tom,
I do not know of a book, but the below website has instructions for boning a turkey
near the bottom of the page.

Subject: Coconut cream filling
Hi Phaedrus,
I am hoping that you can help me find a recipe. I searched
the archives on your site and was unable to locate the recipe
I'm looking for. Can you give me the recipe for the See's
candies "coconut cream" filling. The candies that I buy from
See's have a coconut cream center and are covered in milk
chocolate. I have not had much success trying to duplicate the
filling in my own kitchen. Even if you were able to locate a
similar recipe, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you so much for your help.

Hi Jamie,
I could not find a copy of See's filling. I did find the one below.

1/8 ts Salt
1 1/2 c Skim milk
2 Egg yolks

Remove from heat and stir in coconut, cream cheese, vanilla

Subject: creme receipe
I am looking for a receipe for a creme filling that can be
stuffed into cupcakes, french cones etc. Kind of like what
you find in the "Little Debbie" cupcakes. I know most bakeries
have the kind from a box but I'm looking for the real thing.
Perhaps it's a non dairy creme? I'm sure that's what it would
be out of a box. Any help, please
Hello Pat,
These fillings come in various degrees of richness. A basic recipe for
the kind of filling used in commercial cupcakes, etc., is below.
Phaed
Cream Filling
2 Tbsp butter
1/3 cup vegetable shortening
1 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup evaporated milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 drops lemon extract
For the filling, cream the butter and shortening. Slowly add the
sugars while beating. Add the evaporated milk, vanilla and lemon
extracts. Mix on medium speed until completely smooth and fluffy.

Subject: gullets or golets
Have you heard of gullets (Belgian) or golets (Italian) cookies?
Is there a special "iron" to make them? The recipe I found says
you can use a waffle iron or a pizelle maker. My friend says the
cookie is not like either and he thinks there's a special iron.
Hello Linda,
The below recipes were in my online archives. Well, your friend is "sort of" right.
The name "gullet", however, comes from the Belgian name for an old-fashioned stove-top
waffle iron. So, that "special iron" is still a waffle iron. Most people don't have one
of those, so they just use a regular waffle iron or a pizelle maker.
Phaed
Gullets (Belgian Waffle Cookies)
You can make these in an electric waffle cooker, but they cook
better in the old fashioned, cast iron, top-of-the-stove gullet or
waffle iron. 2 1/2 c. sugar 7 c. flour 2 tsp. vanilla (more, if you
like) 2 tsp. rum flavorings (more, if you like) 1/2 tsp. salt 1 lb.
butter or margarine 1 tbsp. anise seed flavoring, if you like
Cream together sugar, eggs and butter until smooth. Add flavorings.
Add flour, one cup at a time, until all flour is added and dough is
not sticky. Place in refrigerator until cool, several hours. Cook
in very hot gullet iron, until lightly golden and crisp. Store in
tight container and enjoy for weeks. Dough will keep in
refrigerator for weeks too!
----------------------------------
Golets (Italian Waffle Cookies)
Ingredients :
12 eggs
3 c. sugar
1 1/2 c. oil
2 bottles lemon extract
2 bottles orange extract

Preparation :
Mix good. Use waffle iron or (pizzle iron can be used if need
be). Drop by teaspoonful in little cookies. Let brown and let them
all cool. Then when ready to serve shake powdered sugar on them.

Subject: peppermint syrup
I am looking for a recipe for peppermint syrup, like one you
pour over ice cream. Years ago McDonalds had a peppermint
sundae that I would love to duplicate.
Thanks
Gina
Hi Gina,
The only recipe that I can find for peppermint syrup or peppermint topping
for ice cream is the one below.
Phaed
Homemade Peppermint Flavored Syrup
4 cups loosely packed fresh peppermint leaves
granulated sugar
green food color (optional)
Place leaves in a saucepan and cover with water. Simmer about
about 15-30 minutes depending on how strong a flavor you wish.
Strain mixture through a jelly bag for about 1 hour. For each
cup of liquid add 1 cup of sugar and simmer for 15 minutes.
Add food color if desired when syrup is done. Place in covered
container and keep refrigerated. Use in tea, hot or cold, drink
mixes for a unique flavor change, drizzle on cake or ice cream.
