Hello everyone, I was looking at this recipe for petit sale (http://www.france.fr/en/gastronomy/petit-sale-lentils) and wanted to know if I am interpreting this right: I place the pork in a brine solution for 2 nights and then poach the pork in boiling water, then drain and add more water to boil with herbs for...

I have every issue of "The Pleasures of Cooking" a Cuisinart publication. The first issue was published in 1978. For years I had them in boxes and finally I bought plastic mounts for periodicals and put them in three-ring binders arranged chronologically. I even attempted to make a master index...

John Besh makes a wonderful strawberry salad with pistachio butter and aged balsamic vinegar at Restaurant August in the spring when Ponchatoula strawberries are in season. I am having a dinner in a couple of weeks and would love to make that salad for it, but have not been...

Found a copy of "Southern Cookbook 322 Old Dixie Recipes" at an estate sale. A lot of historical southern recipes. I think the one I have is from 1918? Might be something along the lines of what you're looking for? You can find it on eBay, actual copies and...
