IDEA BOARD at http://chef2chef.com lists Chef2Chef's 50 most popular recipes and the most requested Chefs ----------------------------------------- Who would have thought that of 278,000 plus recipes, Chef Norman Van Aken's "Key Lime Cheesecake" would beat out Chef Buben's "Sauteed Shrimp and Grits?" Notable is also the popularity of the recipes contributed by our own Chef David Nelson whose "Classic French Onion Soup" is the third most requested recipe. Take a look at all 50 most requested recipes at http://recipes.chef2chef.net/favorites/favorite-recipes-001.htm On the same page, we also list the 10 Chefs whose recipes prove the most popular overall. It comes without surprise that Chefs Anne Gingrass, Jean Georges Vongerichten and Paul Prudhomme took the first three places. Look for more categories to be added to our IDEA BOARD soon.

Are you guilty of "Spice Abuse"? http://chef2chef.com ----------------------------------------- Dried herbs and spices generally keep well for about six months, if stored in a dark, dry place in tightly sealed opaque glass containers. After that they tend to stale, lose their flavor potential, color and scent. Are you guilty of Spice Abuse? This month we will feature all the fine vendors on our site that specialize in Spices and Seasonings on our recipe home page. Literally thousands of quality spice and seasoning blends are available from these sites. And the quality and price makes the stuff in the stores look pretty weak. If your spice cabinet at home or at work is looking a little "Stale" visit the recipe page here: http://chef2chef.com ----------------------------------------- 8. Professional Community has a new look and now features a Business Opportunities Section. http://foodservice.chef2chef.net/ ----------------------------------------- Our Professional Community recently received a "face-lift" to make the many sections a bit easier to access.

See http://marketplace.chef2chef.net/bizops If the hours become a bit grueling and your family calls 911 when you get home, this may be your opportunity. ----------------------------------------- 9. Recipe: Sara’s Chicken Salad from Chef Johnny ----------------------------------------- Yields 12 Services 4 C Chicken Breasts, cooked diced into 1 ½ inch pieces 4 C Celery, medium diced 2 C Pecans, roasted and salted 2 C Sara’s Salad Dressing 1 1/2 C Red grapes, seedless and halved Prepare the chicken by cooking and allowing to cool under refrigeration then dicing into 1-½ inch pieces. Mix the celery and pecans with the chicken. Toss with the salad dressing and the grapes. Chill and serve on a bed of lettuce or in a sandwich. DRESSING 1/2 C Flour 1/2 C Sugar 2 T Dry Mustard 1 teaspoon Salt 1 teaspoon Paprika 1 T Creole Mustard 2 C Milk 1 C Apple Cider Vinegar, heated 4 Large fresh eggs 1 T Chef Johnny’s Sweet Heat (optional Thoroughly mix all the dry ingredients and add to the milk. Place the milk on top of a double boiler over medium heat. Stir until the dry ingredients are dissolved. Add the heated vinegar and continue to cook for approximately 10 minutes. In a mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks and add a small amount of the heated mixture to temper the eggs. This keeps the egg yolks from curdling when mixed in the hot milk mixture. Add the tempered egg yolks to the milk mixture in the double boiler and continue to cook for 10 minutes longer until mixture thickens. Remove from heat and pour into a clean mixing bowl and chill in refrigerator. Yields 1 quart.
