Louisiana proverb: "Each cook knows his own pot best" *
Grandma (Bubi), Mom, Uncle Gustav Dedicated to Bubi (ca 1890-1970), whose chicken soup nourished many aching bodies and souls; my mother, Necha Peterson (ca 1906-1975); and, my other mother, Mom (Ralph) Dorrington (1924-2003). **** One of this cook's goals on retirement was to compile a searchable index of my favorite recipes and make it available on a computer screen that resides next to my kitchen countertop. Shirley's Recipes now resides next to the kitchen counter. Our garden helps fill the pantry, so information on growing, preserving and storage is also included. Low-fat, low-cholesterol cooking alternatives are incorporated into many recipes, by necessity. Editor chose diet and exercise instead of statin drugs to reduce cholesterol levels. The nutrition information also helped reduce--and maintain--cholesterol levels by about 55 points. Some recipes are heavily influenced if not stolen from Mom Dorrington's Recipes . § * Roughly Translated Disclaimer: Most of these recipes have been tested in Planter's and Mom's kitchens and are generally fail-safe for us, but we make no guarantees. Acknowledgements contains most of the sources of inspiration for my 30-year collection of recipes. Nutrition & Food Safety Canning Guide (Univ. of
