Frosting-Dipped Shortbread Logs Makes about 2 1/2 dozen cookies 1/2 cup butter, softened 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 1/3 cup cornstarch 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed 1/3 cup ground almonds (grind in blender used in dough) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/4 teaspoon almond extract *frosting 1/3 cup chopped almonds (used for decoration)

Use the blender to grind the almonds. Use your Kitchen Aid mixer to make the dough. Use the hand chopper to chop the nuts used for decoration. When you finish making the dough, it will look dry, but will stick together as you mold it into the logs. 1. Grind the 1/3 cup almonds with the flour in your blender. Using the Kitchen Aid mixer, make the dough by beating 1/2 cup butter with flour/ground almonds, cornstarch, sugar, vanilla and almond extract. 2. Divide dough into 4 equal portions.

3. Pinch and press each portion into a 12- to 14-inch rope, about 1/2 to 3/4 inches in diameter. 4. 5. Gently roll on a smooth surface to smooth out wrinkles and cracks. Cut each rope into 2-inch lengths and place on un-greased baking sheets.

6. Bake in a preheated 350 oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until just barely golden on bottoms. DO NOT OVERBAKE. 7. Cool on wire racks.

Chop the remaining 1/3 cup almonds with your hand chopper. Make frosting and dip half of each cookie into the frosting, then dip into chopped almonds. Place on wire rack over waxed paper for drips. Let cool until set. *Frosting (about 2 cups) 2 Tbsp. butter or margarine 1 C. sifted powdered sugar

1 Tbsp. milk 1/8 tsp. vanilla

(pink food coloring use a tiny amount to make a light pink color)

1. 2. 3. 4.

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix flours, sugar, baking soda and salt. Stir in buttermilk and oil. Shape dough into 3 balls.

5. Pat the dough into inch thick rectangles, making sure that all edges are smooth. Use the Kitchen Aid attachment to roll the dough thin. You will use the pasta rolling attachment setting it on 1 to begin with, then put it through again on setting 2.

Or

Roll each ball into 9-inch square on lightly floured board. Remember these are crackers, so they need to be rolled until very thin.

6. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse salt, sesame seed and/or poppy seed. Lightly re-roll to secure seasonings in dough. 7. Using the zigzag pastry wheel in the small utensil drawer, cut into 2-1/4-inch squares. Place squares on un-greased wire cooling racks. You will bake the crackers on the cooling racks, not a cookie sheet. 8. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until crisp and golden. Remove from oven and immediately cool on cooling racks.

Halibut or Tilapia Baked in Macadamia Nuts 1 lb. halibut or tilapia, cut into 4-oz. fillets. (1 thick) 1 cup roasted, no-salt macadamia nuts, finely chopped (as big as sesame seeds) 2 eggs, lightly beaten with 2 Tbsp. water tsp. cayenne pepper teaspoon lemon pepper 1 teaspoon garlic herb seasoning 1 teaspoon Mrs. Dash 1/4 teaspoon salt 4 Tbsp. melted butter

flour for breading

1. 2. 3.

TIPS:

*Fish is easy to over cook. Check it a minute or two before the set time. *The chopped nuts should be in uneven pieces some chunks (no bigger than a sesame seed) and just a little powder, for a crunchy texture. Grinding or chopping too much will release the nut oil. * It is delicious served with coconut sticky rice and steamed vegetables.

Shrimp Fettuccine (adapted from Betty Crocker) 1 bag (1 lb) frozen peas, carrots, peapods and corn (or other mixture) 9 ounces fettuccine lb shrimp, cleaned 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 cup half-and-half

1 container (5 ounce) garlic and herb spreadable cheese 1 clove garlic, minced teaspoon salt

1.

Thaw and drain vegetables. Set aside.

2. Get a good sized pot depending on how much pasta you are cooking. Make sure it is big enough so the water doesn't spill when it's boiling. Fill the pot up with water. 3. Set the stove to high.

4. When the water starts boiling, dump the container of pasta into the pot. Agitate it slightly with a long serving spoon. 5. Keep your eye on it as it continues to boil and stir it just enough to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom every 1-2 minutes. 6. When it's been boiling for about 7 minutes, take a piece of the pasta out and taste it.

7. If it's too hard to bite, tastes funny when you bite it, or if you see white in the center, it needs to cook a little longer. When it's chewy but firm in the center, it's ready. This is referred to as al dente in Italian. 8. Empty the entire pot of pasta into a strainer. Shake out the excess water and then pour back into the pot.

Meanwhile: 9. Clean shrimp. Remove any peel and veins. Cut each shrimp in half.

10. Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add cleaned shrimp and garlic. Cook until shrimp begins to turn pink. Remove from pan and set aside. Keep warm. 11. In same skillet, stir in vegetables. Cook about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender. 12. In a small microwave-safe bowl, mix the half-and-half, cheese spread, and salt until smooth. Heat in microwave until mixture is warmed, checking every 30 seconds so you do not

overheat the milk proteins and milk sugars. Add this creamed mixture to the vegetables and stir to coat the vegetables. 13. Gently add the cooked shrimp and the fettuccine. Heat through and serve.

Fruit Dip

1 package (8 ounce) cream cheese cup sour cream cup brown sugar cup sugar 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup

1. Using your KitchenAid mixer with the wire whip attachment, beat on high speed until smooth, about 5 minutes. 2. Chill and serve with fruit kabobs.

Green Onion Garnish

3 Green Onions Small elastic ties or twisty ties Cut the fibrous root s off a small green onion and discard. Place the onion on a cutting board. Measure three inches up from the root (white) end and cut off the tops of the green. Throw away the green ends. Measure up one inch from the root part of the onion and make several lengthwise cuts through the green part of the onion. Make your cuts as close together as possible. This will leave about a one inch uncut section of the white part of the onion below the cuts you just made.

Place in ice water until ready to use. The thin cuts of the green part of the onion will flair out and curl up slightly, making an attractive garnish. When ready to serve, place on top of the Tofu Tortilla Casserole entree and serve.

Lemon Twist Cut the lemon crosswise into thin slices, 1/8 thick (as thick as a stick of gum). Place the slices flat on your cutting board and insert the tip of your knife in the center. Pull the knife toward the edge, cutting a slit in the slice. Twist the ends on either side of the slit in opposite directions to form a fanciful fan. Orange Citrus Spiral Peel a long continuous strip of orange peel around the orange. Start at the stem end of the orange and finish at the blossom (navel) end. You will use a channeling tool to remove the orange part and some of the white part of the orange. Tape one end to a straw then wrap the peel around it in a spiral. Freeze until set. To use, remove the straw and cut away the area touched by the tape. Give your orange to the kabob group to cut and add to their kabobs. Fruit Kabobs 2 Red Delicious apple 1 can pineapple chunks 1 bunch red grapes 1 peeled orange, cut into bite-sized chunks (get this from the kitchen doing citrus spirals. They will make the spirals first.) skewers Cut apple into chunks, leaving peel on for color. Drain pineapple juice into a bowl and place apples in juice. Put apple piece, pineapple chunk and grape alternately on skewers. Celery Fans 1 celery stalk Trim top and bottom off celery stalk. Cut into 4-inch pieces about 4 inches long. Place the celery on a cutting board; starting about one inch away from one end of the celery, use a sharp knife and make several very thin lengthwise cuts through the celery, making your cuts as close together as possible. Place in ice water until ready to use. The thin cuts of the celery will flair out and curl up slightly, making an attractive garnish.

Carrot Curls 1 Carrot Using a vegetable peeler, cut slices of the length of carrot. Roll each strip and place individual curls in sections of an ice cube tray filled with ice cold water. Place in refrigerator for 2 hours. Remove from water and stretch curl and place on plate for garnish. Note: if you dont have ice cube trays, you may secure curls with a toothpick and place in bowl of ice cold water. Oven-Baked Tortilla Strips 5 Corn tortillas olive oil Oven baked Tortilla Strips: Brush the surface of the strips with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake at 350 until crisp, but not browned (5-10 minutes). Can be made 1 day in advance. Store in cool, airtight container. Serve on White Chili with other toppings.

Peanut Millet with Broiled Curried Vegetables

***NOTES: Curry will stain surfaces. Protect your work space by covering it with plastic wrap. Ask the dispensary for plastic gloves to prevent staining your hands. Wooden skewers will burn when you barbeque or grill. Soak them in water before use. Use metal skewers for class use.

6 Tbsp. olive oil 3 Tbsp. Balsamic vinegar 2 Tbsp. orange juice (1 tsp. orange juice concentrate PLUS 4 tsp. water) 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 Tbsp. minced fresh ginger root 2 Tbsp curry powder tsp. ground cinnamon tsp. ground black pepper 1 Tbsp. honey

2 carrots, cut into coins inch thick and par-boiled for 4 minutes (this will tenderize the carrots just enough to put them on the skewers) 1 red onion, wedged into eight sections 1 medium-sized zucchini, cut into wedges inch thick and 1 inch long 4 large fresh mushrooms, cut into four wedges 2 1/3 cups water 3/4 tsp. salt 1 cup millet cup chopped, unsalted dry-roasted peanuts 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro

1. Combine the olive oil, vinegar, orange juice, garlic, ginger, curry powder, cinnamon, black pepper, honey, and tsp. salt in a gallon-size zip-lock bag. Mix well. 2. Parboil the carrots by placing inch of water in a small saucepan and heat on high until the water is to a full boil. Add the carrots, and simmer for three to four minutes. Immediately remove from the heat and drain thoroughly. 3. Place each type of prepared vegetable onto skewers (carrots on one skewer, onions on one skewer, zucchini on one skewer, mushrooms on one skewer) and then into the zip-lock bag with the marinade and mix well. The vegetables can sit up to 24 hours in this marinade. 4. In a dry frying pan, brown the millet over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. The millet will brown instantly when it reached the proper temperature, so make sure that you have a plate ready to dump the millet from your pan AS SOON AS it becomes brown. 5. In a large saucepan over medium heat, heat the water with 3/4 tsp. salt until the water comes to a boil. Add the browned millet and bring to a boil again. Cover the pan with a tightfitting lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook the millet for 30 minutes over low heat. When cooked it will be chewy, but not dry in the middle. It will be the consistency of cooked cracked wheat cereal. Once the millet has finished cooking, turn the heat off and let it sit in the pan. 6. While the millet is cooking, prepare your broiling pan by spraying the grill with non-stick cooking spray and covering the bottom pan with foil (for easier clean-up). Adjust your oven rack so that the broiling surface of the broiling pan is 6 inches from the top element (broiler) in your oven. 7. All the vegetables require different cooking times, so each vegetable will be placed under the broiler at different times. 8. Use your ovens broiler to broil the vegetables while the millet is cooking. Baste and turn the vegetables with the marinade every couple of minutes while broiling. Safety Alert: Whenever you have marinated meat, you may NOT use the marinade that the meat was in as a basting sauce.

***NOTE: Baste the wooden skewers with clear water during the grilling process if they begin to burn.

8. Broil the carrots 5 minutes, then add the onions and broil all vegetables 4 more minutes, then add the zucchini and broil all vegetables 3 more minutes, then add the mushrooms and broil all the vegetables 3 more minutes.

***NOTE: Make sure that the vegetables are cooked to tender crisp, but do not allow the outsides of the vegetable to burn. If your vegetables become too brown before the cooking time is up, you may need to make some adjustments. Change your broiler temperature to low and/or adjust cooking times.

9. Stir the peanuts into the warm millet. Spoon the millet onto a serving platter and artistically arrange the vegetables on top. Sprinkle with cilantro. Place the remaining marinade in a sauce pitcher for people to use during service.

Homemade Pasta (adapted from BCC) Use a large wooden board or laminated countertop for rolling out pasta dough. Cold surfaces, such as granite, metal or marble, do not work as well because the dough has a tendency to stick.

PIE LAB Apple Pie

Pastry

2 C. pastry flour 3/4 tsp. salt

3/4 C. shortening 8 to 10 Tablespoons (1/2 c. plus 2 T.) ice cold

water

1.

Combine flour and salt in a mixing bowl.

2.

Gently cut in shortening with a pastry blender until pea sized.

3. Sprinkle 6 tablespoons of the cold water over flour mixture, tossing lightly with a fork or rubber scraper. Add the remaining water 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with a fork, and press to the side of the bowl until all is moistened. 4. Divide dough in half, and gently pat into 2 lightly flattened balls. (Dont over-work your dough at this point. You should just gently gather the dough into two slightly flattened pieces, not two tightly compressed dough balls.) 5. For a 2-crust pie:

Bottom - On a lightly floured surface, roll one ball from center to edges, to form a 12 circle. Fold in half or roll the pastry around the rolling pin. Unfold or unroll it over a 9 pie plate. Ease the pastry into the plate, and, using kitchen shears, trim the dough so that there is a one-inch overhang of pie dough. Fill the crust with the desired filling.

Top - On a lightly floured surface, roll the second ball from center to edges, to form a 12 circle. Place the top crust on the filling, and cut slits or shapes to allow steam to escape. Using kitchen shears, trim the pastry one inch beyond the rim. Fold the top edge over the trimmed bottom edge, and flute the edge to seal.

Bake pie as directed on individual recipes.

6.

For a lattice top pie:

Bottom - On a lightly floured surface, roll one ball from center to edges, to form a 12 circle. Fold in half or roll the pastry around the rolling pin. Unfold or unroll it over a 9 pie plate. Ease the pastry into the plate, and, using kitchen shears, trim 1 beyond the rim of the pan. Fill the crust with the desired filling.

Top - On a lightly floured surface, roll the second ball from center edges, to form a 12 circle. Using a pizza cutter, cut the pastry in 1/2 strips. Starting at the center of the pie, weave the strips over the filling to make a lattice. Press the ends of the strips into the rim of the bottom crust. Fold the bottom crust over the strips, and flute the edge to seal.

Bake pie as directed on individual recipes.

Filling 6 C. prepared baking apples (peeled, cored, and sliced) 3/4 C. packed brown sugar 2 Tbsp. flour 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg tsp. cinnamon 1/8 tsp. salt

To use on completed crust

2-3 Tbsp. milk sugar

1. 2. 3. 4.

Preheat your home oven to 425. In a mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt. Peel, core and thinly slice apples. Add apples to cinnamon mixture and toss to coat.

Pour filling into the prepared bottom crust.

5. Place top crust over filling as directed above. Brush the crust with milk, and sprinkle with sugar. 6. Using FOIL FROM HOME, fold a 12 square of aluminum foil into quarters. Cut out the center section, making a 7 circle. Unfold the foil and place the square section over the pie. You may also use a long strip of foil 5 inches wide to wrap around the pie. When placing the foil on the pie, place the shiny side out to reflect the heat away from the crust. Loosely mold the foil over the edges to protect them from burning.

7. Bake for 35 minutes. Remove foil, and bake for 15 to 20 minutes more until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly. NOTE: You may want to protect the bottom of your oven from the molten syrup in case it spills out of the pie during baking.

CANDY LABS Calibrate your thermometer!!! At sea level, water boils at 212. Recipes are written for sea level. To check the accuracy of your thermometer and to adjust for differences in elevation, follow these steps: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Pour a couple of inches of water in small pan. Clip candy thermometer to side of pan. Bring water to boil. Boil 5 minutes. Checking at eye level, note the temperature of the boiling water. Adjust the temperatures in your recipe accordingly.

6.

Discard water and dry pan and thermometer.

For example: If your recipe tells you to cook a syrup to 242, but your water boiled at 203, subtract 9 from the final temperature on your recipe. You will boil your syrup to only 233. NOTE: Watch all candies carefully, especially the last 10 of cooking, as temperatures can spike quickly. Make sure that the thermometer is fully submerged in the candy to get an accurate reading. You may have to tip the pan. FOR RECIPES USING A THERMOMETER: Use both the thermometer AND the cold water test. 3 cups powdered sugar = 1 pound 2 cups brown sugar = 1 pound Old Fashioned Taffy

1 1/4 cups granulated sugar 3/4 cups corn syrup 1/2 cup cold water 2 Tbsp. butter 3 Tbsp. vinegar 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 drop red food coloring concentrate

1.

In a 4-quart saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, water, butter and vinegar.

2. Stir and cook on high heat until the mixture boils rapidly. Wipe down the sides of the pan, the thermometer, and wash your candy paddle. Turn down your stove temperature to medium/high. 3. Stop stirring and let boil to 252 F, or until a bit tested in cold water forms a fairly hard ball. 10 degrees before finish time, have your instructor help you water test your candy and give the go ahead to pour it on the marble slab.

4. 5. 6.

Remove from heat and add flavoring and coloring. Without scraping the saucepan, carefully pour hot syrup onto buttered marble slab. Fold cooled edges to center with dinner knives on the cutting board until mixture is cool and thick enough to pull by hand. Butter hands and pull by hand until taffy lightens in color becomes difficult to pull.

7. Form into a rope and, using greased kitchen shears, cut into 1-inch lengths. Spread out on marble slab so pieces dont touch each other. Allow to cool a bit before wrapping.

Salt Water Taffy 1 cup granulated sugar 2 Tbsp. corn starch 3/4 cups corn syrup 1/2 cup cold water 1/2 tsp. salt 2 Tbsp. butter or margarine

2 tsp. vanilla extract or a few drops of flavoring oil of your choice 1 drop food coloring concentrate

1. In a 4-quart saucepan, combine sugar and corn starch. Add corn syrup, water, salt and butter. 2. Cook, stirring constantly, over medium heat until the mixture boils rapidly and sugar is dissolved. Wipe down the sides of the pan, and wash your candy paddle. 3. Insert the candy thermometer. Turn down your stove temperature to medium/high.

Stop stirring and let boil to 252 F. or until a bit tested in cold water forms a ball that is hard enough to hold its shape. 4. Remove from heat and add flavoring and coloring.

5.

Without scraping the saucepan, carefully pour hot syrup onto buttered marble slab.

6. Fold cooled edges to center with dinner knives on the cutting board until mixture is cool and thick enough to pull by hand. Butter hands and pull until taffy lightens, gets a satiny sheen, and becomes difficult to pull. HAVE MANY PEOPLE PULL SMALL AMOUNTS. 7. Form into a rope and, using greased kitchen shears, cut into 1-inch lengths. Spread out on marble slab so pieces dont touch each other. Allow to cool a bit before wrapping.

For Honey Taffy:

Combine 1 C. honey, 1/2 C. cream, and 1/2 C sugar in a sauce pan. Cook slowly to hard ball stage (252 in Provo, 260 at sea level) Pour onto buttered marble slab or cookie sheet. Follow directions 6 and 7 above.
