M ANCHESTER , CO N NECTICUT From Your Neighbor's l(itchen by Doris Belding COOK BOOK ILLUSTRATIONS BY SYLVIAN OFIARA PHOTOGRAPHS BY SYLVIAN OFIARA, JOSEPH SATERNIS AND REGINALD PINTO OF THE HERALD as published in the Bishop Williams' Receipt for Johnny Cake A forgetful old Bishop All broken to pieces, Neglected to dish up For one of his nieces. A receipt for "Corn Pone," The best ever known; So he hastens to repair his sin of omission And hopes that, in view of his shattered condition, His suit for forgiveness he humbly may urge So here's the receipt, and it comes from Lake George. Take a cup of corn meal, (and the meal should be yellow). Add a cup of wheat flour for to m ake the corn mellow; Of sugar a cup, white or brown ,- at your pleasur0, {The color is nothing, the point is the measure), And now comes a troublesome thing to indict, For the rhyme and the reason it troubles me quite. For after the sugar, the flour and the meal, Comes a cup of sour cream, but unless you should steal From your neighbor; I fear you w ill never be able This item to put upon your cook's table; For "sure and indeed" in all towns I remember, Sour cream is as scarce as June bugs in December. So here's an alternative, nicely contrived, Is suggested, your mind to relieve. And showing you how, without stealing at all, The ground that seem ed lost m ay retrieve. Inst ead of sour cream, t ak e one cup of milk, "Sweet Milk," what a sweet phrase to utter! And to mak e it like cream, put into the cup Just three tablespoonfuls of butter; Cream of tartar, one t easpoonful, Rules Dietetic, (How n early I wrote it down, Tartar emetic!) But no, cream of tartar it is without doubt, And so the alternative mak es itself out Of soda, the half of a t easpoonful add, Or else your poor corncake will go to the bad. Two eggs must be broken without being beat, Then of salt a t easpoonful, your work will complete. Twenty minutes of making are needful to bring To the point of perfection this "awful good t hing." To eat at the best, t his remarkable cak e, You should fish all day long on the royal named lake With the bright water glancing in glorious light, And beauties unnumber ed bewildering your sight. On mountain and lake, in water and sky, And then, when the shadows fall down from on high, Seek "Sabbath Day P oint," as the light fades away, And end with t his feast, the anglers long day. Then, then you find, without any question, Tha t an appetite honest, awaits on digestion. PREFACE Dear Readers: "To be a good cook," according to John Ruskin, English art critic and social prophet of the early 1800s, "means the knowledge of all fruits, herbs, balms and spices and of all that is healing and sweet in fields and groves and savory in meats. It means carefulness, inventiveness, watch fulness, willingness and readiness in appliance. rt means the economy of your great-grandmothers and the science of modern ch emists. It means much tasting and no wasting. It means English thoroughness, French art and Arabian hospitality. It means in fine that you are to be perfectly and always ladies (loaf givers), and you ar e to see that everybody has somethings nice to eat ." May I extend my h eartiest thanks to t he score of "loaf-giving m odern chemists" in the Manchester ar ea that made it possible to compile our sixth edition of The Herald cookbook. · As my contribution I h ave included "Bishop Williams' R eceipt for Johnny Cake," t ak en from a very ancient cook book.
