Did you know that originally
pies were not intended for desserts. Rather, they were used as the main
dish of the meal, as they contained a filling of meat or fish and vegetables.
Such pies are still made, but they are not usually the ones intended when
pastry for pies is mentioned. It should therefore be understood that most
of the pastry and recipes considered in this Section is that which is used
with sweet fillings and employed particularly in the making of pies and
similar foods that are used for desserts.Several methods of mixing the
ingredients used in pastry and pie making are followed, each one producing

Success in making good fried
cakes depends as much on the cooking as the mixing. In the first place
fritters, doughnuts and crullers should be fried in kettle of deep fat.
There should be enough of boiling fat in the kettle to free them from the
bottom of the kettle, so that they swim on the top, and the fat should

The
Onion Story
|
| Onions
are incredibly versatile and each cuisine has its own rules regarding the
treatment of onions. Yellow onions are the most common cooking onions and
have the strongest flavor. White onions have a sharp fresh taste and red
onions are slightly milder and crisper. Leeks are related to both onion
and garlic but milder in taste and excellent in soups or braised. The flavor
of Welsh onions lies between leeks and onions. Spanish and Bermuda onions
are chrisp, sweet and mild. Vidalia, Walla Walla and Maui are super sweet
varieties and often eaten raw. Pearl onions are very small and mild and
usually cooked whole in stews, pickled or braised. Shallots taste like
a cross between a mild onion and garlic. Chives have a light onion aroma
and spicy onion flavor. Chinese chives are more garlicky and used in spring
rolls, with tofu, eggs or stir-fried dishes. More

is considered one of the more effective antioxidants because it is not
converted to vitamin A when ingested. Conversion to vitamin A weakens the
antioxidant properties of carotenoids like beta carotene. While tomatoes
are the best source of lycopene, many studies have suggested that tomato
products such as tomato sauce, ketchup, tomato paste and coctail sauce
seem to contain a much higher concentration of the chemical. Processing
