Moscow Mule Serves 4 Ingredients ¼ ¼

Cup lime juice Cup vodka

Cup ginger beer

Directions 1.

Pour over ice.

History

The story of the Moscow Mule begins in 1939 when a nearly broke Russian ex-pat, Rudolph Kunett, sold the Smirnoff brand to John Martin, head of G.F. Heublein & Bros. Eventually John Martin used the Moscow Mule to help promote vodka to bars across the US and this helped fuel the mainstream acceptance of vodka as the preferred white spirit, replacing gin.

Martin set off to market the Moscow Mule in the bars around the country. He bought one of the first Polaroid cameras and asked barmen to pose with a Moscow Mule copper mug and a bottle of Smirnoff vodka. Then he would leave one copy of the photo at the bar and take a second copy to the bar next door to show them that their competitors were selling their concoction. Between 1947 and 1950, thanks to their invention, Smirnoff vodka case columns more than tripled and nearly doubled in 1951. The Moscow Mule took heat for the Russian association. Assuming that Smirnoff was a Russian import, unionized bartenders in New York announced a Moscow Mule boycott, refusing to “shove slave labor liquor across the wood in any American saloon.” Smirnoff rushed to testify that its vodka was not, and never had been a member of the Communist Party. In support, Walter Winchell wrote in 1951, “The Moscow Mule is US made, so don’t be political when you’re thirsty. Three are enough, however, to make you want to fight pro-Communists.” (Courtesy of http://www.cocktailtimes.com/vodka/moscowmule.shtml) Name of Designer who contributed the recipe: Emma Dowling Illustration credit: Emma Dowling

Place on stove over high heat, cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium. Cook for 2 1/2 hours, topping up pot with boiling water to keep joong submerged and rotating joong every hour to promote even cooking. Remove joong and drain in colander set in sink. Allow to rest for ten minutes. Cut open parcels and serve immediately with soy sauce. Extra joong can be stored in refrigerator for up to one week or in freezer for several months. To reheat, place in simmering water until heated through. (courtesy of Darren Chan) Name of Designer who contributed the recipe : Darren Chan Illustration credit: Darren Chan

KOREAN BARBECUE SHORT RIBS (KALBI) 6-8 Servings Ingredients: 4

Pounds Korean-style short ribs (LA style cut ribs also works)

Cup Soy Sauce

Tbsp Sugar

Refrigerate for 4 hours, but the longer the better, letting it marinate overnight is highly recommended. Half way through resting, or in the morning if doing overnight, make sure to turn the meat or flip and mix around the plastic bag so that all parts are getting an even marinade.

Remove from marinade, wipe or shake off excess marinade on meat, too much excess soy sauce, sesame seeds, or sugar on the outside of meat can burn and give a different flavored than desired. Cook on a preheated grill for about 4 to 6 minutes, or until meat is at desired doneness. Finish up by garnishing with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions, though not required. (courtesy of Joyce Washington)

2 Tbsp Brown Sugar

Onion yellow onion; chopped

Stalks green onion; chopped

2 Tsp ginger; minced

3-6 Cloves garlic; minced 1

Tbsp honey

2-3 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds 1

Tbsp sesame oil

Tbsp Oil

Tsp Cayenne

2 Tbsp Mirin aka Rice Wine (or White vinegar)

Directions: 1.

Combine all ingredients except for ribs in a large bowl or plastic bag, make sure the bag is big enough that it can fit the ribs in later.

Mix all ingredients until sugar has dissolved.

Submerge ribs in the marinade making sure they are completely covered. Meat can be touching but make sure to mix it so that the marinade gets in between the ribs. Cover the bowl or close the bag with no air so that the marinade is always touching the ribs. Name of Designer who contributed the recipe: Paul Washington Illustration credit: Paul Washington

History This recipe was is a family heirloom passed down from my grandmother, to my mother, and then to me. This recipe is one of my favorites and reminds me of my grandmother’s homestyle cooking and is a perfect and sweet breakfast treat.

Makes about 3 servings Ingredients

3 Eggs

1 ¼ Cup of milk ¾

Cup of flour

Tsp salt

2 Tbps of sugar 4 tbs of butter 1 Lemon

Powdered sugar

Directions Set a large non-stick saucepan on medium heat and coat with non-stick spray. Wisk together the eggs in a large bowl and then add milk. Then, in a separate bowl combine the sugar, flour, and salt. Whisk in this mixture little by little to the eggs and milk, until there are no clumps and the batter is creamy. Add a few tablespoons (depending on how large your pan is) to your heated saucepan and swivel the saucepan around so the batter covers the entire bottom portion of the pan. This should be a thin coating on the saucepan and should rise up to the edges a little bit. Flip the pancake when the thin edges start to brown by using a large spatula after delicately peeling the edges, and then the whole pancake from the pan. It should be a very light brown color on the side now facing up. After a little more

Cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter

Cups all-purpose flour

Teaspoon baking powder

Pinch fine salt

Large egg yolk

Cup sugar

Tablespoon pure vanilla extract

Cup raspberry jam

then scrape/slide the spoon against the inside of the bowl to make spoonshaped cookies. Trim excess dough with your fingers and slide out onto the prepared pans, preserving their shape. (Try to make sure you form an even number of cookies, since these sandwich together.) Bake cookies until just browned, about 12 to 15 minutes. Cool almost completely on the baking sheets, and then transfer cookies to a rack to cool When cool, spread 1/2 teaspoon jam on the flat side of a cookie, and then sandwich together with a second cookie. Repeat until all cookies have met their match. Lightly dust the cookies with the confectioners’ sugar. Serve. (courtesy of Food N)

Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting Directions Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Melt the butter in a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Continue to cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until the butter browns lightly and smells slightly nutty, about 15 minutes. Transfer the butter to a medium bowl—be sure to get all the tasty brown bits—and cool slightly. Meanwhile, whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in another medium bowl. Whisk the egg yolk, sugar and vanilla into the cooled browned butter. Stir the dry ingredients into the butter mixture to make a uniform but crumbly dough that looks like wet sand. Scoop out dough with a small teaspoon (the kind you set the table with, not the ones you measure with). Rock spoon gently back and forth against the side of the bowl, packing the dough into the spoon,

BUCKEYE BROWNIE COOKIES WITH EASY FUDGE FROSTING

When cooled, top each cookie with about a tablespoon of chocolate frosting and a pinch of sea salt flakes.

Easy Fudge Frosting Ingredients 1

Makes approximately 24 cookies Ingredients 1

Box (18-19 oz) brownie mix

Cup butter, melted

Cup cream cheese, room temperature!

1 Egg

Cup peanut butter

Cup powdered sugar

Cup chocolate frosting

sea salt flakes

How to Make

Cup butter, room temperature

½ Cup boiling water 1

Cup Hershey’s Special Dark cocoa powder, sifted (you can use regular cocoa powder if you prefer, that tastes great too.)

cups powdered sugar

Tsp vanilla

How to Make In a mixer combine all ingredients and over low speed for 30 seconds. Increase speed to medium and beat for 1 minute until smooth. Let frosting cool for 15-20 minutes before you frost cake or cupcakes.

Notes You could also use canned frosting. The cookies also taste great without frosting. (courtesy of Cookiesandcups.com)

Preheat oven to 350° Line baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl combine brownie mix, butter, cream cheese and egg. Stir until dough comes together, it will be very thick and sticky. I used my hands. Form rounded tablespoons sized portions of dough into balls, placing on baking sheet about 2 inches apart, making an indentation with your thumb in the center of each. In another bowl stir together peanut butter and powdered sugar. Form peanut butter into teaspoon sized balls and press into the indentations in the brownie cookies. Press peanut butter down slightly because the peanut butter won’t spread and you don’t want the cookies to be too tall. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set, then let cool until they are room temperature.
