[net.cooks] Cookie Secret

cin@cbdkc1.UUCP (3895 FRAN ) (09/13/85)

I found out an old family secret that I couldn't resist putting
on the net.  I love the way cookies taste right after you
bake them,  all chewy and gooey (especially toll house cookes). To
keep them in this condition put the freshly baked cookies in a sealed
container with a piece of white bread overnight.  By the next morning
the cookies will have absorbed the moisture from the bread leaving
the slice as hard as a rock and the cookies just the way you love
them... gooey!

Does anyone have any good spaghetti sauce receipes?

I don't have a specific recipe, but one good addition to 
spaghetti sauce is a bit of *real* parmesan cheese (not
the kind you get in a green can) grated and melted in.

I'm almost ashamed to admit it, but the best (base) spagetti sauce
recipe I've come across is on the little can of Contadina Tomato
Paste.  Of course, a little sausage here, a few extra herbs there,
don't hurt.  But for a start, is really good stuff.

I don't add parmesan to my spaghetti sauce but I do use plenty in my
lasagne.  And it *must* be fresh grated.

I wouldn't dream of serving fresh pasta (yes, we make our own) without
freshly grated parmesan cheese.  The stuff in the green container just
makes me want to gag.

Our corner Italian deli carries imported parmesan for about twice the
price of domestic.  Is it really worth it?

And speaking of cheese, how about some creamy brie and good hard rolls?

If you're going to splurge on imported Italian parmesan, why not get
Parmigiano-Reggiano?  This is the highest quality parmesan: the Italian
government won't let it be sold until it is at least two years old.
Its texture is better for grating than that of domestic parmesan, and it
has a sharper flavor.  I think it's worth it in dishes where you can the
subtleties of the cheese won't be covered up by other flavors.  I would
use it on pasta tossed with butter and garlic, but not in a typical
lasagne laden with meat and tomato sauce.
