Subject: german blueberry kuchen

I am looking for a coffee cake recipe that was in the Kansas City Star most 
likely in the 1980s.  It was for a 9x9 cake.  The cake was almost white in 
color and was topped with fresh blueberries, lemon peel and sugar mixture.

Thanks,

Geralyn 

Hello Geralyn,

I cannot find a blueberry kuchen recipe that says it is from the Kansas City Star, but the below recipe appears to fit your description except for the pan size.

They no longer sell them.

Steak Soup

Subject: Request for a recipe for steak soup

Hi Phaedrus, 

    In 1985 I worked at the Briarciff Mall in N. Myrtle beach, SC. In the mall at 
that time there was a restaurant that served a "steak soup". The name of the 
restaurant I believe was either Windjammer or Spinnakers. They served this 
really delicious soup, I used to eat it all the time when I worked in the mall. 
I changed companies and moved to Tennessee. When I returned to the mall 
10 years later while on vacation, I went to have some more soup, but the 
restaurant was no longer open.

Can you please help me find a copy of the recipe?

Thanks for all of your help, in advance.

Wayne 

Hello Wayne,

Sorry, no success. I found a couple of mentions of Spinnaker’s in the Briarcliff Mall, but no menu and no recipes.

I have a couple of steak soup recipes, but they are from Portland, OR and Kansas City, MO restaurants. If you want those, write back and let me know.

I’ll post this on the site in a few weeks in case a reader can help.

Hi Phaedrus,
 
Yes, I would like to get the steak soup recipes you have.

I thank you very much for your help.

Wayne 

Hello Wayne,

Below are the two that I have. They are somewhat similar, and neither is what I envision regarding the name “steak soup”. They look more like “ground beef vegetable soup” to me. Where’s the steak? “Ground beef” is not usually equal to “steak”, except in "hamburger steak" or "Salisbury steak". I guess that's their thinking, but I'd be disappointed to order "steak soup" and get "hamburger soup".

Steak Soup 
from Clinkerdagger, Bickenstaff, & Pitts in Portland, Oregon
("Dear SOS - Favorite Restaurant Recipes from the Los Angeles Times" 
by Rose Dosti)

1 cup(2 sticks) butter or margarine
1 1/2 cups chopped onions
1 1/2 cups sliced peeled carrots
1 cup diced celery
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 pound ground beef
2 1/2 cups water
1 can (8 ounces) chopped tomatoes
1/3 cup beef stock base
pepper
1 package frozen mixed vegetables

Melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat. Add onions, carrots, and celery 
and saute until onions are tender, about 15 minutes. Add flour and stir until well 
blended and smooth. Cook until mixture boils around edges, but do not overcook 
or roux will break down. Se aside.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Crumble ground beef onto rimmed baking sheet 
and pat into 1-inch thick layer. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until meat is browned. 
(color of beef will determine color of soup).

Drain meat. Break into 1/2-inch chunks. Add half of water to saucepan with 
cooked vegetables and bring to simmer. Add tomatoes, beef chunks and 
beef stock base. Season with pepper. cook and stir 10 minutes. Add remaining 
water and frozen vegetables. Cook 5 minutes longer or until vegetables are tender. 
Do not boil.

Subject: I would love to find a Southern Living recipe for a white cake with 
icing from whipping cream powdered sugar and chopped fresh strawberries 
I made this delicious cake around about 32 years ago. It needed to be 
refrigerated. My father in law loved this cake and I would love to be able 
to make it for him!! Can you help??

Hello Tammey,

I was not able to find a Southern Living recipe that fit your description. I'll post this on the site in a few weeks. Maybe a reader can help.

I saw your post about the Southern Living recipe for white cake with strawberry 
icing. 
The icing recipe is in the 1988 Southern Living Recipes book. 
It was published in the June magazine. There is no mention of the white cake, 
which was probably just that, a white cake. 

Southern Living Strawberry Cream

3/4 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar
2 cups sliced strawberries

Beat whipping cream until foamy;gradually add powdered sugar, beat until soft 
peaks form. Fold sliced strawberries into whipped cream. 

Enjoy!

James
