I once was a professional cook. It seems ages ago and was but, it is still so fresh in my mind that I often drift back to those crazy times of making recipes for a few hundred people at a time. It was a time of very large bowls and long giant sized mixing utensils, a lot of multiplying of ingredient quantities and, a lot of make-shift kitchens in tents or sheds somewhere on the grounds of huge mansions in Maine. Happy times shared with a wide array of nutty and cool people. I would like to share with the Crestwood family two recipes made hundreds of times for hundreds and still a couple of my favorites. These recipes have been scaled down to Crestwood family size.
