This is the on-line edition of this well known magazine which combines articles about food and wine with features such as recipes and wine guides. Go to Top of this Page Fearless Cookery or Whatever Else You Want to Call it Cook Book (also known as the Anti-Health Cook Book or The Blow Health Out Your Fundament (censorial sic) Cookbook) We cannot improve on their web site description: "In the late 1970's, an alarming trend began to sweep across America. As people began to adopt a new "healthier" lifestyle, they found themselves willing to acquire the dietary habits of rodents and to compromise ingredients in some of the most sumptuous recipes in the world. "Suddenly supermarkets became inundated with items boasting of their "fat
free" or "lite" status. Suddenly, everyone became convinced that if they didn't
cut out the fat and the cholesterol, "Luckily, the nation has not yet managed to suppress the institution of independent thought entirely. A strong brave few continue to use heavy cream, butter, rendered fat, salt, sugar, and whole milk. These rebellious gourmets have pursued those recipes which represent the essence of "real" cooking. They have scoured antique shops, garage sales, and libraries to find the precious volumes which contained recipes unadulterated by the censorship of the health mongers. "These are the culinary supermen, the Machiavellian chefs who realize that the health trend must be reversed before it's too late. They are Generation X renaissance men who know that the health risks averted by such "healthy" habits are not worth the price which is paid for them; that the doctrine of immediate satisfaction must prevail. They are the unsung heroes of our time who tenaciously preserve traditional cuisine until freedom has (real sic) conquered and all can indulge themselves once more. . ." ". . . "Live Fat, Die Young, and Blow Health Out Your Fundament !!!(censorial sic again, but you get the drift.)" Great recipes in a tongue-in-cheek and cheeky presentation. The Cooks Thesaurus This page contains thousands of suggested substitutions for cooking ingredients, including low-calorie and low-fat alternatives for dieters, inexpensive substitutes for gourmets on a budget, and innovative replacements for hard-to-find ethnic ingredients.

California dried figs are sweet, flavorful, high in fiber,
easy to eat and use. They are also the most versatile of fruits. To prove
the point, here is a quick tour through the food alphabet with California
figs.
A - Apples. Chop or slice either Calimyrna or the Mission variety of California figs and stuff into cored Rome Beauty apples to bake. No need to add any sugar. Top baked apples with vanilla yogurt. B - Breads. California figs add sweetness, and moisture, to the whole array of breads. Add chopped California figs to yeast-leavened whole wheat or cinnamon rolls or the biscuits or scones made form a mix or scratch. |
