Subject: request for Berghoff's Creamy Garlic

The Berghoff's Salad Dressing
The Berghoff was a now closed famous Chicago classic restaurant
This is the BEST creamy garlic dressing recipe I've ever found and I searched for a long time.
I noticed a request on your site and thought I'd send it along. The Berghoff's are neighbors
of my daughter's in-laws and if I see them at a gathering, I'll see if I can find out more.
I usually make the blue cheese version, but the creamy garlic is great all by itself. Feel free
to edit .makes about a pint. This recipe can be doubled. I cut the original recipe in half because
it made too much.
1 Egg (Use pasteurized eggs)
1 1/2 T Sugar
1 tsp Dry Mustard
1-1/2 tsp garlic powder or granulated garlic
1 tsp salt
1/2 - 1 tsp worcestershire
1/2 -1 tsp A-1*
1/4 tsp white pepper
1-1/3 C Oil
2 Tsp lemon juice
1/3 C Water to thin it - still is pretty thick.
Optional: crumbled blue cheese to taste (Maytag is good)
Put egg, sugar, mustard, garlic powder, salt, worcestershire, A-1 and pepper in bowl of food
processor. Once those ingredients are blended and slightly thickened, SLOWLY add in the oil.
Then add in the lemon juice. After all that is mixed, add in the lemon juice. (I actually
added the lemon juice in the beginning and it didn't seem to make a difference). At this
point the dressing will be very thick. Add in the water to thin it out.
Blue Cheese variation:If you want the blue cheese version - add crumbled blue cheese to
the food processor and pulse for a few seconds. Remove from processor bowl and add additional
blue cheese crumbles to make a chunky blue cheese dressing if desired.
My notes:
Using fresh garlic is too strong and slightly bitter. I use granulated garlic. I always seem
to end up adding the larger amount of worcestershire and A-1 because I just dump and don't
measure. If concerned about salmonella since this dressing is NOT cooked - use pasteurized
eggs or an egg substitute. I buy a generic A-1 from Aldi's. It's only $.99 bottle as opposed
to 3x's that much for A-1 I use Maytag Blue Cheese.I also add in a few fresh thyme leaves.
I suppose you could add a pinch of dry thyme. Not quite sure why I ever added this, but it
does seem to round out the flavor a tad. Use as a dip or a dressing. Wonderful!

Subject: Uncle John's Cider Mill - Maple Walnut Cookies
Hello,
I was in St. Johns, MI last week and went to Uncle John's Cider Mill for the first time.
They bake a lot of different items and my mom purchased a loaf of white bread and a "baby"
loaf of cinnamon bread. Both were excellent. I purchased a "baby" loaf of peach nut bread
(excellent) and a couple of Maple Nut cookies. They were the larger type and just melted in
your mouth. It was obvious that they used the freshest ingredients and I know that two of
them were pure maple syrup and walnut pieces. They rest and the quantities of each are what
I don't know. We didn't try them until we reached Mom's home in Lansing and then we devoured
them. I have since returned to Dallas, TX where I live so I can't return to Uncle John's and
I really want a cookie.
Hope you can help.
Thanks,
Debbie

Hello Doris,
I believe that you mean "salmon patties" or "salmon croquettes". I cannot find any mention of "salmon cakes" in the Morrison's kitchen manual or on the web. I have a recipe for Morrison's "Salmon Patties" here: 12-03-2008 and below.
There is also a recipe and a photo and and a video for making "Morrison's Cafeteria Salmon Patties" here:
