In times gone by, my dear mother-in-law, like so many other New Orleans ladies of her era, would lovingly chef up a gala plate of Daube Glacé for holiday and cocktail parties. A beloved appetizer dish with French roots requiring time and dedication, it never failed to awe and delight. The recipe/s below are from The New Orleans Cookbook, 1957. 🥃 🍸 🥩 🥕 🌿 🥃 🍸 🥩 🥕 🌿 For references to (page 5), see all guidance reproduced below the provided text of the recipe. For the (

King Ranch Casserole! Where the heck is it from? You'd think King Ranch, but nobody there will claim it! No matter, this Tex-Mex classic is one you should lasso. Save time with pre-cooked chicken, add Ro-Tel and condensed soups to bring it together, layer with tortillas, add plenty of cheese and bake 'till gold and bubbly! The name's a mystery. The recipe? A keeper. ______________________________ Here's a 2020 version of this recipe that includes even more history. 🥘 👑 🤠

This cake isn’t drunk… but it’s definitely tipsy! Angel food soaked in sherry and bourbon creates one boozy trifle that'll get your party started. Great for any season, but I've made one here for Christmas, with green vanilla pudding, whipped cream, pistachios, red goji berries, and other festive toppers. Don't let Uncle Melvin eat too much or you might have to call an Uber! For more stories and recipes follow my Once Upon a Menu series on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok @th

Did you know the "Coney" dog wasn’t created in Coney Island? Sorry, New York! This recipe was cooked up by Greek and Macedonian immigrants in the Midwest. It's all about the "Coney" sauce — finely crumbled beef, warm spices, made to top a hot dog, and finished with yellow mustard and diced white onions. Hot Diggity!

🫆 🥫 🍰 🫆 🥫 🍰 If you can guess the secret ingredient in my mystery cake i'll send you $1000! OMG, it's Campbell's Tomato Soup! Popular in the 1920s' and '30's, this cake recipe made its way into The Joy of Cooking by 1964. The soup creates a moist crumb close to carrot cake, and the cream cheese glaze comes together in a snap. Did you guess right? Let's get real, I ain't sending you money, but for anyone who did comment you might be automatically entered for a chance to

From 100 Ways to Be Original in all your Cooking . Lea & Perrins, circa 1965. The low-cal way! A few notes from the editor: To brown the chops, I would be inclined to use canola, not olive oil, and I expect 1/3 cup might be better than 1/4. I would then carefully remove most of the remaining oil from the skillet (leaving about a tablespoon) so could soften the green pepper and onion for about 4 minutes (then add remaining ingredients, etc). I would double the consommé, rather

Cento marinated mushrooms are indubitably one of my very favorite things. I consume jars and jars of these every year! They are great as part of an antipasto appetizer tray, and perfect with a tart and tangy Italian vegetable salad. Robért Fresh Market here in New Orleans also makes their own delectable marinated mushrooms, but if I'm not near a Robért's, Cento is always the winner! Cento makes an endless number of other delicious products as well. If you're not near a groce
