Was it really just lashings of ginger beer? How one food writer turned all those hams, hard boiled eggs and jam tarts into a guide to a generation's eating habits
We have an old Hungarian tradition, that I remember from childhood, that my grandmother used to make, at least once a week called "túrós tészta (csusza)"...cottage cheese noodles! My mom used to make it, and my aunt, and sister, as well. The only difference is that my mom would make it with homemade noodles, and use fresh "farmers cottage cheese" and farmers sour cream, and real bacon, which could be considered "organic" bacon without "nitrates" added that we could actually buy these days, in Whole Foods Market. Now, I don't have a step-by-step directions for this delicious and satisfying dish, that you can serve, with or without the crispy bacon bits, if you want it meatless...but oh, my! those organic uncured crispy bacon bits really, really add some extra flavor. Hungarian Cottage Cheese Noodles hand me down "oral" recipe from my mom 1 lb. wide egg noodles 1lb. small curd cottage cheese, or farmer cheese (dry cottage cheese "Friendship" brand) 1 lb. sour cream 1/4 lb unsalted butter or margarine salt and pepper to taste 4 slices of bacon (I used organic uncured) Boil noodles till done, set aside. Cook bacon till crispy. Set aside on double paper towel to soak up the excess grease, and chop coarse. Set aside. Spray a casserole with cooking spray. As soon as you drain the pasta, put it back into the pot, add the butter or margarine, half of the cottage cheese, half the amount of the sour cream, and mix together. (also, you can fold in half the chopped bacon.) Top with the rest of the bacon, and bake in a 350 degree F. pre-heated oven for about 25-35 minutes, till it gets nice and crispy on the top. To serve, spoon extra cottage cheese and a spoon of sour cream, and serve...Serves 4-6 note: this is so delicious, even the little ones love this dish, and look forward to having this. My daughter and I make this this at least once a week! ...and now, for the Book Giveaway! Signed by the author! Here's a yummy cucumber sandwich photo, and recipe! 1 cucumber sliced in half lenghtwise, seeds removed, and cut into 1 inch cubes 1 teaspoon kosher salt 6 Tablespoon butter, and room temperature 6 white rolls cut in half 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh dill In a bow, combine the cucumber and salt.

Makes 12 Pineapple, Strawberry, and Banana Salad 1 pineapple cut into small chunks 5 bananas sliced 1 pound strawberries, stems removed, cut into thirds, or halves Combine all the ingredients in a bowl, and serve immediately. Or, if you want to prepare the salad ahead of time, cut the pineapple and strawberries, and wait until the last minute to slice the bananas, so they don't turn brown. Serves 12 Classic Tomato, Basil and Garlic Topping 7 to 8 plum or heirloom tomatoes roughly chopped 10 basil leaves finely chopped 1 garlic clove minced 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Combine all the ingredients in a serving bowl, and stir well. Let the topping sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to allow the flavor to develop.

When it comes to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 45 minutes. Add the barley, and cook for another 45 minutes. Just before serving, add the salt, pepper, and chopped sage, and stir. Serves 16 Mussels in Beer 5 pounds mussels debearded 1 bottle dark beer 1 head garlic, peeled and sliced 1 bunch parsley, roughly chopped 2 teaspoons coarsley ground black pepper 1 loaf crusty bread Place all the ingredients except the pread in a pot. Place the pot over high flame, and cook covered for 2 minutes. Give the pot a shake, and cook 3 minutes more, until all mussels open. If any refuse to open, discard them. Serve straight from the pot with a loaf of crusty bread.
