Still Life: Menu 1

[Guest guest]

Last summer Jennifer posted an entire menu from Still Life with Menu and I

became intrigued with the concept of using the menus suggested in cookbooks

and magazines as a Mastercook recipe. With MC5 and MC6 you can link all

the recipes to the menu recipe. The links do break when recipes are posted

on the Internet.

 

I've put together several menus from this cookbook where most of the

recipes evolve around a menu. They make good starting points for creating

our own menus. I like these Katzen recipes because they are healthy and

hearty, with a lot of emphasis on grains. I'm especially impressed with

her bread recipes.

Cream of Red Pepper Soup

Spring Vegetable Salad

Fruited Grain Salad

Praline-Butterscotch Bars

 

(See Separate Recipes)

 

The season for this menu ranges from late spring to midsummer, when the

tail end of an early vegetable harvest and the beginning of plum season

overlap. If that doesn't happen in your neck of the woods (I know it's

easier in California than in other places!), make this meal with whatever

is available whenever you can.

 

3 DAYS AHEAD: cook grains for Fruited Grain Salad / roast and peel peppers

for soup (optional)

 

2 DAYS AHEAD: cut onions and peppers for soup / prepare vegetables for

Spring Vegetable Salad (prepare garlic for soup and salad at the same time)

/ for spring salad, steam and marinate potatoes

 

1 DAY AHEAD: prepare soup, steps 1 through 4 / for spring salad, steam

vegetables and mix with potatoes (don't add herbs yet) / assemble grain

salad, except fresh fruit

 

SAME DAY: assemble and bake praline bars / finish soup / add herbs and

lemon juice to spring salad / add fruit to grain salad
