I have a friend who is getting married and as a wedding present I want to give her a book of recipes for two people. Unfortunately, I'm not a great source for such items...the only spices I use with any consistency are garlic, cumin, and dill...get the picture. So, if you have any recipes that you feel would help me out please send them. Thanks in advance, Leslie (ucbvax!ucla-vax!sdcrdcf!lesliem) (decvax!trw-unix!sdcrdcf!lesliem) (sdccsu3!sdcrdcf!lesliem) (allegra!sdcrdcf!lesliem) (cbosgd!sdcrdcf!lesliem)

I think SUNSET has a recipe book out called COOKING FOR TWO.

In response to the last question, I would ONLY use a Granny Smith or a Pippin in an apple pie. They're both green and somewhat tart, firm, and crisp (also both quite good for eating).

The one and only recipe for great chocolate chip cookies is found on the back of Nestle's chocolate chips (I use about 1/3 less chips - just my personal taste).

*my* favorite recipe for chocolate chip cookies:
1 lb butter 6 C flour
1 1/2 C gran sugar 1 1/2 T baking powder
2 C brown sugar 3-4 C chocolate chips
3 eggs 1 C nuts
2 t vanilla
Cream butter and sugars, til light and fluffy [start out wi/ room temp butter].
Add eggs [one at a time], beating til incorporated. Add vanilla.
[at this point, I add the chips and nuts, because it's too hard later!]
Add chips and nuts, mixing well. Mix together dry ingredients [I leave out the
salt in the recipe, just because I prefer it that way]. Add to the butter/sugar
mixture a cup at a time, mix thoroughly [Use a _big_ bowl].
Put golfball size scoops onto an ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 400 F. for
8-12 min (lightly browned). This makes me ~ 5-6 dozen hefty cookies, unless
you eat a lot of the raw cookie dough.
