Hi List, I wonder if Baked Mac and Cheese or other noodle dishes could be made without cooking them separately? Anyone tried it? I know for myself if any noodles are cooked too long on the stove they become pasty because of the starch in them. If I accidentally don't cook them long enough i.e. I'm in a hurry, they are chewy. -- Email services provided by the System Access Mobile Network.

It's more than a cookbook, its' a cooking textbook, with a lot of technique in it. Betty crocker's cookbook is a similar one. Get it through Bookshare. If you can find it the 1918 Fannie Farmer cookbook is wonderful. It's the last one she put together before her death, and it has a lot of the basics in it. There was a wonderful little book my ex found called The Can Opener Cookbook. It's vintage, from when housewives were just starting to use a lot of canned goods, but it kept things simple. If you can find it, scan it and make it available for Bookshare so we can have access to it, and if I find it first (mine got stolen) I'll get it up there. I love the Foods of the World series from Time-Life. They haven't reissued them yet, but hopefully they will some day. If they don't I'm working on collecting them. There's a great book called "Recipes from the backs of Boxes, Bottles, Cans, and Jars" that has a lot of those things you find on a package, and I'm planning on scanning my copy and putting it up on Bookshare as soon as I find my big book of recipes. I recently found a great book on Indian (dots, not feathers) cuisine called Curry: A tale of Cooks and Conquerors, by Lizzie Collingham, which both deals with how East Indian cuisine came about and some of the recipes typical of the cuisine. I haven't made any of them yet, but it was a great listen. NLS has it, and it's downloadable on BARD if you have a digital player For those of a zymurgical bent, (wine making) there's Acton & Duncan's book, Making Mead. I love this book, and I hope to get it scanned soon. It's written from a British perspective, but other than the fact that Heather honey is hard to get in the Americas it'll work. I've made a lot of good honey wines from it. The wimemaker's recipe handbook, by Raymond massaccesi is also interesting, and it's another one I hope to have available soon on Bookshare. And for something different there's Cider by Annie prouslx and lew Nichols, which is a great book on making ciders of all kinds. For something without the octane I got a lot out of Cresswell's book, Homemade Root Beer and Soda Pop. It's another one I plan to scan soon and put up on Bookshare. Sorry that a lot of these aren't blind accessible yet, but if I can get a bit of sighted assistance I can locate them and run them through the trusty HP Scanjet and they'll be around for y'all to benefit from soon. -Original Message- From: cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org [mailto:cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org] On Behalf Of Nancy Martin Sent: Tuesday, January 31, 2012 3:17 PM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Subject: [CnD] recommended cookbooks Hi everyone, I'd like to know what cookbooks and cooking gadgets you find the most helpful.

Re: [CnD] Braille cookbooks
Hi everyone, I don't have a cell phone but I'm really trying to work hard to use what technology I've got. There is a local service accessed by phone. the grocery ads are read and recorded. I used to call up the number and frantically try to write as fast as the reader talked. I'm not any good at listening and writing Braille at the same time. Finally one day I realized I could record the ads with my Victor Stream using my speakerphone. Even some of the audio cookbooks on the BARD site aren't divided in sectionds. I have to remind myself to use the different heading levels to access the recipes.

Re: [CnD] Some suggestions
Hi everyone, All this talk about adding things to brownies brings up a question. In the Our Special cookbook there is a recipe for chocolate butterscotch brownies. It is brownie batter topped with a marshmallow layer then topped with butterscotch chips. Here's my dilemma: the recipe says to melt the chips with a tablespoon of shortening and top the cake. This book was compiled prior to microwaves playing such a big role in cooking. Do I still need to use the shortening? Also, what about candy recipes that call for paraffin? I've heard two differing opinions: one says to add the paraffin, another says I don't need it. Which is right?

Re: [CnD] Some suggestions
I have added Paradise Fruit Mix which is a small container of dried fruit for fruitcakes and hav soaked it the way you do raisins. It has come out very good with a brownie mix. - Original Message - From: "Nicole Massey" To: ; "'Rhonda Scott'" Sent: Saturday, February 04, 2012 12:57 PM Subject: Re: [CnD] Some suggestions I'd think that dried cherries, raisins, or other dried fruit might be an interesting thing to add, too. Chocolate, white chocolate, or peanut butter chips might be interesting, and mini-marshmallows might be good too, especially if you put half the mix in the pan put in a layer of them, then the other half of the mix. And let's not forget caramel. -Original Message- From: cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org [mailto:cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org] On Behalf Of Rhonda Scott Sent: Saturday, February 04, 2012 11:48 AM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Subject: Re: [CnD] Some suggestions Hi Allison, I don't have the article you asked for, but have added nuts and chocolate chips to brownie mixes before to make them tastier.

Re: [CnD] Braille cookbooks
Don't forget that when you are listening to a book from the BARD site and you come across a recipe or section you want to come back to later you can always insert a bookmark. They will always come up when you are set in Bookmark Jump and when you have that book in your player or in your flash drive. It is a nice way to mark the recipes you are interested in. - Original Message - From: "Nancy Martin" To: Sent: Saturday, February 04, 2012 11:22 AM Subject: Re: [CnD] Braille cookbooks Hi everyone, I don't have a cell phone but I'm really trying to work hard to use what technology I've got. There is a local service accessed by phone. the grocery ads are read and recorded. I used to call up the number and frantically try to write as fast as the reader talked. I'm not any good at listening and writing Braille at the same time. Finally one day I realized I could record the ads with my Victor Stream using my speakerphone. Even some of the audio cookbooks on the BARD site aren't divided in sectionds. I have to remind myself to use the different heading levels to access the recipes.

I personally wouldn't want my Pac Mate or Plex Talk Plus or Library of Congress digital player in the kitchen where there is a chance of getting them, shall we say, in need of repair? due to food particles. Brailled cookbooks, on the other hand, especially if they are using thermoform paper, can easily be cleaned off, suffering no consequences. --- Be positive!

I don't care for the cookbooks on tape either for the exact same reason you spoke of. I don't feel you are being pushy at all. I think any information you would like to share is going to be appreciated here on the list. Some folks do like audio cookbooks, some still prefer the Braille. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like I have an easier time now finding cookbooks in audio formats than in Braille. They take up less space and are probably more popular in today's tech-oriented world.
