Teaching Reading to Children Thru Storytelling and Cooking

2012-01-09T13:54:00.000-08:00

Inside your kitchen is a magical place for children to play and explore, to bang pots and pans, to flour a hand, to laugh at mistakes, to make a new shape, to watch something grow, to read, touch and smell, to hear and tell family stories. Lost Recipes from Old Titles encourages teaching reading to children through family traditions like storytelling and cooking.

Here’s a handy list of websites, recipes and ideas to enjoy with your families and children.

Words That Cook

Recipes for Reading, Storytelling, Family stories

Campbell’s Kitchen never tires of showing the big dish that everybody “goes over the river and through the woods for”. Try preparing a Green Bean Casserole from a Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom soup with the little ones while telling a family story about the serving.

Night Before Christmas Cookies featured in food holiday at Better Homes and Gardens, December 2011 are cookie recipes done in minutes. Use for all-occasion and boost reading and cooking thru cookies.

Frugal cooks and swift readers may want to try Delicious on a Dollar, Better Homes and Gardens, September, 2011 recipe. Teach the little one how to make Vanilla French Toast, a family favorite, on 97 cents per serving.

Buy one box of Birds Eye Steam Fresh Vegetables, read the box, prepare the dish and when your youngster ask the “why” question. Tell him why fresh is best, freeze-dried is next and cans are last.

Ideas for Reading, Storytelling, Family Stories

Kim Hays from babytalk.com featured an article in August, 2010 entitled, “grandma’s home remedies”. If there’s a doctor or holistic being brewing in your house, here is a way to grab their attention. Teach kids how to read labels or tell the family story behind the recipe or remedy.

Written just for preschoolers, children cookbooks like Pretend Soup and Other Real Recipes for children ages 5 to 8 recommended by the School Library Journal. Other children book ideas at About guides or Amazon.com.

Select three beverage cartons or containers from the refrigerator and try the pour test. Let the kids read the ingredients, alternate drinks, decide what foods they go best with the drink or why they are so delicious.

Bake a name day cake from a box brand or your favorite recipe card. Have someone recite the little story from a name day card about how the custom was started or practiced by grandma or read-a-loud the recipe from the cake’s box.

Last by not least, if your boy or girl likes riddles and dragon stories, I hope you will visit my other blog, Herme Meets a Dragon and other Read-a-Loud Stories. And don’t forget the wondrous field trip to the neighborhood libraries and bookstores for stories, poetry and rhyme. Something I hope to do till I’m 99.

Best websites for meatball recipes

2012-01-06T13:21:00.000-08:00

The perennial favorite -the meatball, never disappoints. It is luscious and comforting. It excites the most mundane eater, satisfies the foodie and challenges the gourmet. Many of the young and inexperienced stop just long enough inside their Nana's kitchens to learn the art of mixing the meat, spinning the balls and simmering the gravy. Amidst Middle Eastern Indians, Swedes and Italians are some of the oldest recipes. While many old meatball recipes have been lost, others have been rescued, borrowed, restored and memorialized. From word of mouth, from books and magazines, from articles and morsels of paper, from hidden jars and diaries to today’s Internet, the meatball recipe is an extravaganza - party appetizer, wedding hors d'oeuvre, cocktail food, street food, festival food, Sunday dinner, heavenly hoagie, classic sub, stew dish and soup. Serve it traditional old-world style or spanking new from a smorgasbord of lavish, rich, delicious recipes found at these helpful sites.

Dough Recipes From Old Cookbooks

2011-10-16T07:03:00.000-07:00

Dusted off another cookbook and ran across a handwritten note from Ann Canivara. I zoomed in on CHURROS MADRILENAS. This brought back memories of a rare Sunday afternoon when my mother whipped up flour, water and sugar to treat us to churros (fried dough clusters from Spain).

Today I've listed a sampling of dough recipes from 6 cookbooks. If you don't find the recipe you are looking for, try the archives for cakes, cookies, Easter breads, fried dough recipes, etc. Recipes listed are by family surnames or favorite brand names to assist you in finding the recipe or its facsimile.

HINT: Often a recipe's facsimile is all you need to recreate your lost recipe. Just send me a list of ingredients to compare. If you have any questions, email me at deestephenson@comcast.net.

Nameday Cakes and Cookies for Family Fun & Tradition

2011-09-05T10:01:00.000-07:00

No one ever made me feel quite so special as my mom on my birthday or my "nameday". A nameday is a Catholic tradition celebrated in Spain and around the world by many Christians as your "Saint's Day". But for me, it should not be a day of celebration for just a few. For me, your nameday should be celebrated by everyone. Nothing is more joyous than to see a cake with your individual name on it set aside by your family and your friends that says, "You're special."

Nameday Come for Dessert, Copyright 1962 is a book I purchased recently because I always get nostalgic in the fall and the memories of my mother are the strongest. September 15 is my nameday; I was named Maria Dolores after Mary of Sorrows.

My story is my mom liked the name Dolores, because she had a best friend named Dolores. So at the time of my baptism I was given the Catholic name, Maria de los Dolores and called Dolores, Dee and Lo by family and friends ever since. I'm sure there's a story behind your name or a family tradition worth hearing about. Please feel free to write in about your namesake or email me if you have any questions.

I listed September names, namedays and a couple of cake recipes to start off the celebration of Nameday from My Nameday-Come for Dessert by Helen McLoughlin and other sources.

Cooking For The Health of It

2011-08-24T12:37:00.000-07:00

Gail Becker,R.D., followed August 1983, U.S.D.A dietary guidelines and wrote a 150 page cookbook which lists breakfast and brunches, appetizers and beverages, soups, salads and dressings, main dishes, vegetables and desserts.

I like the "Approximate Energy Expenditures chart for activities...burn 210 calories per hour walking, 2 1/2 mph...

And this helpful reminder, "A pound of body fat contains 3500 calories. To lose 1 pound of fat, you will need to burn 3500 calories more that you consume. If you burn 500 calories more a day than you consume, you will lose 1 pound of fat a week. Thus, if you normally burn 1700 calories a day, you theoretically expect to lose a pound of fat each week if you adhere to a 1200-calorie-per-day diet."

and though I am not a fan of "Butter Buds", "Sweet N Low" or Nu-Salt I am a fan of comparing these recipes to other low fat, low sugar and low sodium recipes:

Broccoli Cheese Pie

Placid Eating by Climena Wikoff of the Mirror Lake Inn

2011-08-02T11:22:00.000-07:00

Today my attention is drawn not just to the colorful cover of the Mirror Lake Inn, nor to the delightful Preface by the author Climena Wikoff, nor to Averil Courtney Conwell's pen and ink mural painting; I am drawn to the back page of PLACID EATING. There is an old black and white photograph of the trees, lake and mountains and below that, a lovely poem by Winifred Kahn, dated Sept. 1, 1943 that goes like this...

I am the lullaby of deepest murmuring trees,
I am the echo of the careless laughing breeze
I am the waves which head and sanctify the shore
The swift oblivion that man is rearing for
Mine is the victory when he hears nature sing,
For I'm the nothingness comprising everything,
I'm found where silence broods beneath the lonely sod,
I am the woodsman's prayer for I'm the voice of God.

2011-06-04T13:28:00.000-07:00

From the Maytag Dutch Oven Gas Range Instruction and Cook Book, the traditional broiled hamburger: preheating unnecessary.

Split bun in half. Spread lower half with well seasoned hamburger mixture, carefully covering entire surface of bun. Plan thin slice of onion and piece of butter on each hamburger. Broil 4 inches from flame. Toast other half of bun during last 3 or 4 minutes of broiling.

Broiling time: 10-12 minutes.

Lost Recipes For Father's Day

2011-06-04T12:39:00.000-07:00

There are countless great grandmothers recipes in The Monticello Cook Book, 1950. In honor Father's Day and in recognition of "English thoroughness, French art, Arabian hospitality and all those families from all over the United State who enriched the culinary arts, here are some treasured recipes from the past.... "

PORK CHOPS IN VERMOUTH
4 loin chops cut 1 1/2 inches thick 1 clove garlic
Paprika 1/2 cup stock or consomme
Sage 1/2 cup dry French vermouth
Salt 1/2-1 cup sour cream (optional)

In a heavy iron pan, brown chops heavily. Dust upper sides with paprika, salt and a little sage. Add stock and garlic, cover and simmer on top of stove or in a 300 degree F. oven until tender, or about an hour. Add vermouth to the juices in the pan and sour cream if desired. Stir thoroughly and pour over chops. Heat for about 15 minutes, turning and basting chops. Veal cutlet can be cooked the same way, substituting chervil or thyme for the sage.

SPARERIBS
Take young pork spareribs and after wiping them off with a damp cloth, put them on the broiler quite near the flame. Have the oven set for broiling temperature. Now take 2 or 3 tablespoons of white or brown sugar and tie up in a cloth bag. After the meat has started to sear, dip this bag in vinegar and rub it over the spareribs every few minutes, dipping the sugar bag in vinegar repeatedly. Then turn the meat over and continue doing the same on that side until spareribs are done. Season to taste if you like, but it is not necessary as the sweet-sour basting, quite by itself, imparts a delicious and unusual flavor.

Poetry Housed in a Kitchen

Poetry, like recipes sparks powerful feelings and very often transports us to a happier place. Celebrate poetry month with me with these “good reads” about traditional women and their kitchens.

http://www.poetry.com/poems/my-mother%27s-kitchen/10847415/
“No matter the time, no matter the day, she places my troubles above and here we will sit for as long as I talk in my mother's kitchen of love.”

“Because the kitchen has traditionally been the women’s domain, much of Jewish women’s spirituality has historically revolved around what goes on in this space.”

Time For Food, Cooking Suggestions Sponsored by the Woman’s Auxiliary of the Hackensack Hospital

“From biscuits to soups and brown roasts with sweet glazes, our efforts will capture the connoisseur’s praises; we’ll be glad of the fact that is worthwhile repeating, that civilized man cannot live without eating!”

St. Joseph’s Cook Book, printed by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Newark

“A Recipe for a happy life”
Take a large quantity of cheerfulness and let it simmer without stopping. Put with it a brimming of kindness, then, add a full measure of thoughtfulness for other people. Mix into these a heaping tablespoonful of sympathy. Flavor with the essence of charity. Stir well together, and then carefully strain off any particles of selfishness. Put in smiles as thick as raisins in plum pudding and bake by the warmth which streams from a loving heart.

The opening - MY KITCHEN PRAYER

Bless my little kitchen, Lord,
I love its every nook.
And Bless me as I do my work,
Wash pots and pans and cook.

May the meals that I prepare,
Be seasoned from above,
With Thy blessing and Thy Grace
But most of all Thy Love.

As we partake of earthly food,
The table thou has spread,
We'll not forget to thank Thee, Lord.
For all our daily bread.

So bless my little kitchen, Lord,
And those who enter in:
May they find naught but joy and peace,
And happiness therein.

Amen

Lost recipe - New England Pecan Pie

2011-04-19T13:37:00.000-07:00

Comments via email:

So happy to have found this blog. A cherished family recipe that was rediscovered caused first joy when it was found, then sorrow when we realized the old page was so stained and gummed up as to not be legible for the cooking instructions. An appeal to this blogger brought a very fast reply with a scan of the exact page of the cook book in question. This is going to make this coming Sunday dinner with the whole family a big surprise as we will be able to serve my grandmother's signature dish for the first time in 30 years. Thanks aren't enough - you gave us so much more than just a recipe.
In this age of not being able to afford as many dinners out and extravagant entertainments, people may be searching for those simpler pleasures to remind them of family, and Sunday dinners and traditions that made their families unique. Your lost recipes surely will make a lot of people smile as they remember those things and get back to the fun of cooking!
Thanks again!

Linguine With Broccoli In Anchovy Sauce

1 large bunch broccoli, washed and cut into florets
1 or 2 cans (2-ounce size) flat anchovies with oil
1/2 cup prime olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced fine

In a large skillet, heat olive oil and the oil from anchovies. Add the anchovies. Using a wooden spoon, stir until anchovies are dissolved. Add Minced garlic, stir well and cook for about 4 minutes. In 3 quarts of rapidly boiling salted water add 1 pound of linguine. Cook until done, about 7-8 minutes. Remember, the pasta should be al dente. While pasta is cooking add broccoli to anchovy sauce in pan, stir constantly for 2 minutes over medium heat. Drain linguine and combine with broccoli and anchovy sauce (Do not drain oil.)
Optional: Sprinkle with toasted pignoli nuts.
Serves 4.

Slim Gourmets Veal Parmigiana

1 1/2 pounds veal cutlet, pounded thin (or substitute turkey cutlets)
1/3 cup bread crumbs
4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 cup tomato sauce
1 or 2 cloves garlic finely chopped (optional)
3 slices (3 ounces) skim mozzarella cheese

After pounding the cutlets thin with the edge of a heavy plate, cut them into six pieces. Combine the Parmesan and bread crumbs in a paper bag and shake up the cutlets until well-coated. Heat the oil in a non-stick skillet and brown the meat quickly on both sides. Arrange the browned cutlets in a single layer in a shallow non-stick baking dish and cover with the tomato sauce (add garlic to taste.) Cut the mozzarella slices in half and top each cutlet. Sprinkle with oregano and bake in a preheated 375-degree oven for 10 minutes or longer, until cheese s bubbly.

Fried Dough Recipes

2011-01-11T12:12:00.000-08:00

I love warm socks, soft jeans and a pancake breakfast on a cold wintry morning. I seldom make pancakes from the same mix. For a rare treat, I use Willow Creek Mill's Pumpkin pancake mix, Lund's Swedish Pancakes is a second favorite of mine and Bisquick makes really good pancakes,too.

For a comfy food on a cold Sunday afternoon, try making grandma's warm fried dough. Just about every nationality has a variation for this homemade recipe and its fast and easy. My mom made "chulas", a version of Spanish "churros" and "suspiros". Italians mommas make "zeppoles", Dutch "oliebollen" and German "krapfen", which our American kitchens have come to know as as crullers or doughnuts.

There's tons of recipes out there, old and new. All you need is a little bit of flour, egg, water and some oil.
Here is a "Comforts" recipe from a 1949 kitchen:

1 egg
1 c. sugar (beaten together)
1 c whole milk
pinch of salt
3 c flour
1 t baking powder
vanilla or nutmeg

Add milk all at once to beaten sugar and egg, then add remaining ingredients. Drop by teaspoonfuls into hot fat. Shake pan and the doughnuts will roll over themselves.
Put into a paper bag with 4 x sugar and shake.

Aprovecha! Bon Appetit!(Enjoy!)

Spiritual Rituals – Holiday Bread

2010-09-17T12:04:00.000-07:00

Crisp September mornings remind me of what's coming-Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas!

Here’s a little story about a 1950 holiday recipe. Years ago while having lunch with my friend she turned to me and said, “Annie made some bread, care to try some?” I nodded “yes” bit into a piece and my eyes filled up with tears. The texture and the taste were like “Rosco”, a sweetbread from Spain my mother made around Easter and Christmas, but I had never jotted down the recipe. That same year, my same friend gave me a copy of. The Good Housekeeping Illustrated Cookbook. Inside was the “Christmas Wreath”, a recipe similar to “Rosco”. Now, there were no shortcuts for making well-leavened bread and I so wanted to repeat in my mother’s footsteps, I hand kneaded the dough and placed it inside a bed sheet on the bed, tied the sheet into a knot and let the dough rise. The dough got humongous and was hard to lift, but what a delicious experience!

Desserts - Sweets

Does anyone make their own wedding cakes anymore? One of the great finds inside these old community cookbooks is the "sweets" section where homemade wedding cakes show up. Does anyone recall the hall based weddings? Kids dressed up, parents on dance floor, chiffon gowns and hats...close families...beautiful songs.

"To keep BROWN SUGAR SOFT, remove from package when purchased and put in tightly covered jar."

"When SEPARATING EGGS, if you drop a portion of the egg yolk into the whites, moisten a cloth with cold water, touch it to the yolk and it will adhere to it."

The Blog (Ce blog, Questo blog, Este blog) for a Family Recipe Search

2010-01-21T12:44:00.000-08:00

This blog was written to help preserve historical recipes found in vanishing community cookbooks. Many recipes are worthy of today’s health benefits for those exploring the benefits of a Mediterranean style diet. Three cookbooks are cataloged thus far by book, title of food, recipe and family surname. Today I felt the need to translate this blog entry into three foreign languages, French, Italian and Spanish to introduce my pet project (Anniesbook) to a wider audience. This is only the start of how I wish to commemorate families whose ancestors came to America from countries like England, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Russia, Portugal, Spain, Scotland and Sweden.

Oggi ho sentito il bisogno di tradurre questo blog entry in tre lingue straniere per introdurre il mio progetto di pet (Anniesbook) ad un pubblico più ampio. Questo è solo l'inizio di come vorrei, per commemorare le famiglie i cui antenati sono venuti in America da parte di paesi come l'Inghilterra, Francia, Germania, Ungheria, Irlanda, Italia, Paesi Bassi, Polonia, Russia, Portogallo, Spagna, Scozia e Svezia.

"Fish and Fowl" High in Flavor

2010-01-07T14:06:00.000-08:00

"I don't like fish!" One phrase I've heard too often, heartfelt and understood, but in order to lower fat and cholesterol we have to stop eating meat, cheese and shellfish 7 days a week. We have to sorta "find a fish and fall in love with it" and "beef up" those chicken recipes if we are ever going to benefit from all the food groups. The writers from New Jersey's Own Cook Book Chapter IV-"FISH AND FOWL" serve up one two of my wintry favorites, Tuna Casserole and Oven Fried Chicken.

Meats and Main Dishes

2010-01-06T11:34:00.000-08:00

As I type today's recipe titles for Chapter III, "Meats and Main Dishes", I smile at the handwritten surnames of the women contributors who reveal their identities to me recipe by recipe. Many ancient community cookbooks like mine are nestled inside libraries, bookstores or private homes. Some were never "best-sellers" and long forgotten. I would like to resurrect all of them and praise them for their rich historical notes, home style cooking and hidden quest for the balanced diet.
In spite of some fatty food ingredients, they too recommend vegetables, fruits and whole wheat
(just like today's health experts). Sometimes they distinguish themselves with an old adage or two or and make it a point to separate "every day foods" from "foods for special occasions". There is a lost wisdom inside these fine old books.
