In my earlier years, I attended a high school which required each student, as a portion of their tuition, to work for the school. My first job was to clean pots and pans after the dinner meal. The following semester, moved into doing some cooking. It went on from there, until I could get a position in the computer lab as a computer lab assistant. I'll never forget my days in the kitchen there. Later, when I worked for a friend in his restaurant or make lunches and soups at a deli in college, I spent some time taking culinary classes at a local college. Despite all this, I have found myself realizing I don't know enough about the basics.
So, I decided to start this blog. My wife and I are spending the year experimenting with food. She is trying to create a different home-made meal every night (with Fridays off for going out dates.) She has been trying to make dinners based on the flavor pairings found in The Flavor Bible while I am exploring cooking methods. My goal is to find the best way to cook various foods.
To start, I suppose I could start with a early recipe I looked forward to on Sunday mornings in school. We called it "Bishop's Bread" and it was a coffee cake server in large square pieces.
Bishop’s Bread
NMH coffee cake
2 cups Brown Sugar
2.5 cups Bread Flour
1 cup Butter (room temp, unsalted)
1 Egg, beaten
1 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Baking Soda
1 Tbl Cinnamon
3/4 cup Buttermilk
Mix the brown sugar, flour and butter together. Set aside one cup’s worth to use as a topping.
Add the remaining ingredients to the mixture and mix to combine. Pour into a greased 9x13 baking pan and sprinkle the cup of topping on the batter. Bake for 30-40 minutes in a 350 degree oven (or until done.)
