Thank you, one of the first items is Kurtos Kalacs, actually is a Hungarian recipe but the cooking method
was very complicated, wonder if anything new has been developed.
Thank you for your research and Good Luck.

Hello Paul,
“Kurtos Kalacs”, or “Kürtoskalács” or "Chimney Cakes" are a pastry baked on a rotating spit over embers.
One can buy special ovens for baking them and special wooden spits to roll them on, but an intrepid cook
can make them using a charcoal grill and wooden rolling pins with the handles covered in foil. Toppings
may include caramel, walnuts, cinnamon, almonds, vanilla sugar, coconut, cocoa, sprinkles.
There’s an article about them here: Wikipedia
Photos and recipes on these sites: Kurtos
Kristy Gourmet
Alveoli Breadlab
They can be baked over a charcoal fire as well: Hobbikert
There are videos that show them being made here: Video 1

Subject: texas sheet cake cheesecake
I have lost my recipe for Texas sheet cake cheesecake that is made from scratch and NOT made from a boxed cake mix.
It is made on a cookie sheet with the cake on the bottom, cheesecake layer in the middle, and the icing from Texas
sheet cake on the top. Thanks!!
Catherine
Hi Cathy,
I cannot find a recipe called “Texas sheet cake cheesecake” that is not made with a mix. Are you sure that you have
the name right? If you are sure that you have the name right, then it appears that recipe is not on the Internet or
in any of our other sources. If you are NOT sure that you have the name right, then it might be on the Internet with
another name, but you are not giving enough particulars for me to find it. Is it a chocolate cheesecake? Does it have
sour cream? Fruit? Anything else other than just basic cheesecake ingredients? If not any of these, then I need more
clues to search. I saw that you posted on another board that you thought you originally got it from “Taste of Home”.
If you don’t have any other clues, then you might have success posting your request on the Taste of Home message board.
If you have nothing to add, then I’ll post this on my site. Perhaps a reader can help.

Hi Phaed,
I thought the name was Texas Sheet Cake cheesecake, and my daughter thinks its Texas cheesecake sheet cake.
It did not have sour cream but did call for 4T. powdered cocoa in both the cake and the icing. The cheesecake
portion was just a regular non-flavored cheesecake. If you wouldn’t mind posting it on your site, perhaps we
might get a hit. Thanks so much for trying to help us.
Catherine
Hi Cathy,
I checked both ways, but had no success with either name.

The other is a good Minestrone soup, years ago I read a recipe by Jane (?) that I made but after
three four moves from town to town lost the recipe.
Thank you for your research and Good Luck.

Hello Paul,
There is not much hope that I can locate this specific recipe without more particular information about it.
I found several minestrone recipes by “Jane”. See:
