‘Fine Cooking Fresh’ offers lots of variety, tips for every season
“Fine Cooking Fresh: 350 Recipes That Celebrate the Seasons” (The Taunton Press, $19.95, paperback) offers a collection of what its editors say are the best recipes from Fine Cooking’s Fresh magazines, plus lots of tips, techniques and ingredient information.
Flavors of butter, garlic and dill delicious with new potatoes
I came home from the Red Stick Farmers Market recently with a big bag of new potatoes. My favorite way of serving them is either rubbed with a little olive oil and baked in the oven or boiled and served with butter and fresh parsley.
The South has produced a population of “barbecue experts,” who argue over wet sauces versus dry rubs, grilling over smoking, direct heat or indirect heat and gas versus charcoal. Even though there are more than 700 different barbecue sauces on the market, some cooks still prefer a homemade sauce. Put potato side in slow cooker for relaxed celebration on Fourth
Traveling for the Fourth or staying put? It’s safe to say whichever path you have chosen will involve food.
For those grilling steaks or barbecue chicken this holiday, Potato Stuffing may be just the right side dish.
Blueberry cooking contest scheduled
CLINTON — The Red, White & Blueberry Festival sponsored by Clinton Main Street will hold a blueberry cooking contest at 9 a.m. Saturday at Feliciana Harvest Church on St. Helena Street in downtown Clinton.
Celebrate July 4th at BR market downtown
The Red Stick Farmers Market Saturday continues its summer Fresh Fest as farmers celebrate the Fourth of July. Children’s activities will include face painting by Liz Lopes and musical entertainment by the Louisiana Dulcimer Society.
DENHAM SPRINGS — The open-air Livingston Parish Farmers Market, located in the New Covenant Church parking lot on U.S. 190 (Florida Boulevard) across from McDonald’s, is held from 7 a.m. to noon Saturdays. The Covington Farmers Market is open, rain or shine, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. each Saturday on the side lawn of City Hall, 609 N. Columbia St. Get relief from heat with frozen yogurt
Have you tasted some of the new tart frozen yogurts that are available in the grocery stores or in yogurt shops? These better-for-you treats have a distinctive, delicious flavor.
Once again, the old reliable ruled the day. In a blind taste test of commercial barbecue sauces conducted by guest taste testers for The Advocate Food section, Kraft Original came in first. The top ranking of the Kraft Original Barbecue Sauce came as a surprise to the five “barbecuers” who judged 16 different tomato-based barbecue sauces. Red, white and whew! Celebrate the Fourth
We are probably going to move inside for at least some of our Fourth of July celebration. It’s too “mosquitoey” in my backyard, and this heat wave isn’t helping. We have not finalized our menu.
