Dear Sir,
Please allow me to applaude you profusely for your wonderful web-site which is
highly informative and well appreciated!!
I am curious if you have ever stumbled or know much about Tartex pate, commonly
enjoyed in Europe. It is a "commercial" vegan pate, which is creamy, comes in
several flavours is lovely on toasts, used on canapes,and/or h'douvres etc. I see
the ingrediant listing is yeast, oil, tomato, herbs, spice, flavours,soya... There
is not much there is seems! It is very light in texture; it has a kind of suspended
lightness in there and I am wondering how that may be achieved besides whipping,
especially where there are no eggs or eggwhites included. If you have any suggestion
how to duplicate or aquire this recipe that would be fantastic!!
Eagerly awaiting your reply,
Mohini
Hello Mohini,
I had no success. It does not appear that anyone has been able to reverse-engineer
tartex pate and create a copycat recipe. Sorry.
You can buy them here: Vegan Essentials
There are some suggestions for homemade tartex-like spread here: Forum The PPK

Hello Phaedrus. I sure hope you can help me...but I'm afraid this might be a tough one.
I didn't know such a person like you existed, or I would have contacted you years ago!
I have been looking for a recipe called Saskachewan Sauce, that I tasted in a restaurant
(which was part of the Red Oak Inn in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada, but I don't recall
the actual name of the eating place.) Problem is that I partook of this sauce, that
has been on my mind ever since, thirty years ago! This was not a sweet sauce, but a
savoury one, that is served over meat dishes, etc. I'm sorry that I can't remember what
ingredients might have been in it, or even what the predominent flavor was.....I only know
how very much I liked it. And, the name also made me keep looking through every sauce
cookbook, & sauce section, because I was born in Saskatchewan. Hope you'll be able to help...
and I can prepare it, bringing back that flavor memory to my tongue!
Thanks so much!
Hoping, Pat, from Ontario
Hello Pat,
I wish that I could help, but I cannot find any recipe for Saskatchewan sauce. I found
a few mentions of the Red Oak Inn in Peterborough, but no mention of the restaurant there.
I'm not even sure the Red Oak Inn is there any longer - some of the items I found seemed
to indicate that it has been converted into a retirement community.
I found a few stray mentions of "Saskatchewan sauce", but none of them was a recipe, nor
did any of them even describe it.
Sorry,
Phaed

>Hi, I found this recipe years ago and lost it. It was in Vincent Price's cookbook
(maybe he wrote it with his wife). It's for Chicken cacciatore. I remember how good
it was and would love to find it again. I searched a little but nothing came up except
for Vincent Price's butter-cream frosting. Thank you.Wendy
Hi Wendy,
I have a copy of "A Treasury of Great Recipes" by Mary and Vincent Price, and there
is no recipe in it for chicken cacciatore. However, there is some sort of recipe for
chicken tetrazzini in the cookbook. I cannot find a chicken cacciatore recipe on the
Internet that is associated with Vincent Price.

Hi,Thanks for trying. I guess I need to either find a copy of the book that it is in
or someone who has the book and can give me the recipe. I do not know which of his
books has the recipe in them or where to find them. Some of his cookbooks came up in
the search and they were very pricey.It was definitely in his ,or their cookbook and
was for chicken cacciatore.Do you know if there is there a web site, or can you do it
on yours, that I can ask others if they have that book or recipe. In my search I think
I can up with someone commenting about that recipe but didn't give it and there wasn't
a way to contact them(I think) Thanks again. Wendy
I only know of four cookbooks by the Prices:
"A Treasury of Great Recipes" by Mary and Vincent Price
Mary & Vincent Price's "Come Into The Kitchen" Cookbook
Vincent Price's "National Treasury of Cookery" -5 volumes
Early, Young Republic, Ante Bellum, Westward, Victorian
"Cooking Price-Wise" Companion to the British TV Show hosted by Price
These are all out of print and used copies are usually quite pricey when you
do find them. E-Bay is a good place to check, as is Amazon.com. As I said, I
have a copy of "A Treasury of Great Recipes", and there is no "chicken cacciatore"
recipe in it.

Hello,
My name is Merri and I am looking for the recipe from Jordan
Marsh, Boston for Muscovites. They were almost, as I remember them as a
child growing up in Boston, a devils food cake with chocolate filling and a
blob of intense chocolate on top covered all over by more chocolate. I
adored them and now that I bake all the time , I would love to try and
recreate them. thank you for all of your help and by the way, your Jordan
Marsh blueberry recipe is devine and as I remembered them. I made some for
my husband and he wouldn't even share them with anyone. That's how good they
were. Thank you again for your help.
Hello Merri,
Sorry, I cannot find even a mention of Jordan Marsh muscovites.
