The Cold Turkey Cookbook Index to Recipes

By popular demand . . .

We like the idea of fewer calories, but never at the expense of taste, rib-stickiness and mouth feel. It's Better than Ham and Cheese on English, above, with Danish ham and Havarti on toasted Corny Cornbread fills the bill with an added plus, allowing the eater to express solidarity with the Danes in the ongoing Cartoon Wars.

To reward our faithful commenters for their heartwarming support [see testimonials below] we offer herewith an ongoing listing by dining categories of all our Cold Turkey Cookbook recipes and methods, plus a sampling of older, calorie-laden culinary masterpieces from the days of lard and roses (see "Full of Calories and Loving It" below). Here's the post that started it all. For your convenience, we've put a link to the Index at the top of the right sidebar. Readers are cordially invited to submit favorite recipes for testing in our Experimental Kitchens for possible inclusion in the CTC. What's cooking?

Pam: Thank YOU for lighting a fire under my tail. Now get out into the kitchen and cook something for someone! :-)

Okay, now I am hungry again...

LOL

Thanks for the amazing recipes.

Outstanding.

Thanks - did you forget your easy, yet outstanding potato salad? Steamed potatoes with garlic, mayo and tarragon, as I recall - it was outstanding with the Spring Chicken. Don't sell short the appeal of simple combinations of great flavors. Most recipes call for boiling the spuds in water, but steaming made all the difference.

Cheers
