Hi Roweana,
I could not locate such a recipe from Bon Appetit, not even on the Bon
Appetit website. However, there is one from "Travel" magazine at this site:
Travel
And there is another recipe for apricot mousse with raspberry sauce served in tuiles below.
Phaed
Apricot Mousse
1 1/2 cups Apricot Jam
2 egg whites, room temperature
2 cups whipping cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Northwest Red Raspberry Sauce
Red Raspberry Syrup
Orange Flavored Liqueur (Grand Marnier or Cointreau)
Stir jam in a medium bowl to soften. Beat egg whites until stuff but not
dry. Fold into jam. Beat cream, sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.
Fold in apricot mixture. Freeze until ready to use.
Mix Raspberry Syrup and orange liqueur to taste.
For an elegant presentation, pour sauce into the center of an 8-inch plate.
Tilt until syrup coats the bottom evenly. Beat 1/2 cup of whipping cream
until it just begins to thicken. Create a web design by placing circles of
cream on the plate and drawing lines through them with a knife. Scoop mousse
into cookie shells (tuiles). Set on the side of the plate, and garnish with
a mint sprig.

Hi Phaedrus,
Here is the Apricot Mousse recipe from the May 1986 issue of Bon Appetit requested by Chris on Thursday, October 09, 2003.
I know it is ancient history but maybe it will help.
Thanks,

Fold into preserves. Beat cream. sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form. Fold into apricot
mixture. Freeze until ready to use.

For cookies: Preheat oven to 350° F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Cut each piece into
6 squares. Mix almonds, sugar and flour. Blend in butter and 2 tablespoons milk. Spoon about
2 tablespoons batter into each square. Using knife, spread into thin round. Repeat with
remaining batter, adding 1 to 2 teaspoons more milk if batter becomes too stiff to spread.

minutes on paper, then mold onto outsides of muffin cups. Let cool completely. Peel parchment

Hello Linda,
Hope this is what you mean.

Maggiano's Mixed Green Salad With Vinaigrette Dressing
You can also make this into a salad bar by putting different ingredients
into bowls and letting your family make their own salad. Just toss the
greens with the vinaigrette first, then get creative! From Julie Chernoff.
Vinaigrette:
1/4 cup apple cider or white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt, freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup vegetable oil, such as canola,
safflower or olive
Salad:
1 head romaine or red leaf lettuce, washed,
dried, torn into pieces or 1 bag ready-to-
eat mixed salad greens
Croutons, grated cheese, cherry tomatoes,
sliced cucumber, chopped olives, feta
cheese, sliced red pepper, optional
For vinaigrette, whisk together vinegar, water, mustard, salt and pepper to
taste in small bowl. Slowly whisk in oil. (Dressing will start to look
"cloudy" and will thicken slightly.) Set aside or refrigerate for later use.
Tear lettuce into bite-size pieces. Chill until ready to serve; toss with
dressing and optional ingredients. (Salads taste best when the lettuce and
other ingredients are cold. If you make it ahead of time, refrigerate
lettuce in plastic bags with a paper towel inside to absorb moisture.)

Hi Nita,
No luck with a copycat recipe for Milani's 1890 French Dressing, but this
website has it for sale. Too bad their Buccaneer dressing isn't still around as well.
Mrs. Wages
Walmart has it, too.
Sorry, nothing on LaVista.

Hello Natalie,
See below for two recipes.
Phaed
Taco Bell Cinnamon Twists
Ingredients:
1/2 C. Sugar
1 Tbsp. Cinnamon
rotinni noodles (You must use a rice based noodle !!! )
3 C. of oil (I recommend peanut oil)
Preparation:
Combine cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl and mix well.
Heat oil to about 500 degrees, be careful not to let the oil to smoke.
When the oil is hot enough, drop a handful of uncooked noodles, drop only a
few at a time. Deep fry for 30 seconds. You will know when they are done
because they will sink to the bottom and then resurface. Place cooked
noodles on some paper towels so they can drain. Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar
mix over them
------------------------------------------
Taco Bell's Cinnamon Twists (Angel Wings)
Categories: Breads, Mexican, Copycats
Yield: 1 Servings
5 Eggs yolks -- well beaten
5 tb Sour cream
5 tb Sugar
1 tb Almond extract
1/4 ts Salt
2 1/2 c Flour
Combine all, adding each item as listed, and enough
more flour so that dough is no longer sticky, but
still very soft. Roll small portions of dough at a
time to paper-thin. Use lightly floured working
surface. Cut into strips 2"x5" and arrange in single
layer on oiled cookie sheets. Bring enough oil to 400~
in deep heavy saucpan, at least 3" deep. As you drop
the dough into oil, make a 1" slit down center of each
and draw the opposite ends of the strip through the
slit. They'll fall to the bottom but will surface in a
few seconds as they brown, about 2 minutes. Lift out
with tongs and drop into large grocery sack containing
about 1 lb of 10-X powdered sugar.
