| “Every country possesses, it seems, the sort of cuisine it deserves, which is to say the sort of cuisine it is appreciative enough to want. I used to think that the notoriously bad cooking of the English was an example to the contrary, and that the English cook the way they do because, through sheer technical deficiency, they had not been able to master the art of cooking. I have discovered to my stupefaction that the English cook that way because that is the way they like it." | | ~ Waverly Root (1903-1982) |

Chocolate Cherry Bars Recipe
Recipe Ingredients:
1/2 stick margarine
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 cup cocoa
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup low-sugar cherry pie filling
2 tbsp mini chocolate chips
Recipe Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Spray an 8- by 8-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In a medium saucepan, melt the margarine. Add the sugar and stir until smooth and slightly cooled, 2 minutes. Blend in the egg. Add the cocoa, vanilla, baking powder, and baking soda; stir until the cocoa is fully incorporated, 1 minute. Add the flour and stir until smooth, 1 minute.
Spread the batter in the prepared baking pan and top with pie filling. Bake until the top becomes slightly crusty, 8 to 10 minutes, then sprinkle on the chocolate chips. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean with a few moist crumbs, about 8 to 10 minutes.

Comments: This recipe is a chocolate lover's dream -- it is so rich in chocolate. The cherries add a cheery red color and a delightful blend of flavors. We tried adding applesauce and mixing the ingredients with a mixer, but found this combination of ingredients and simpler cooking method yielded the richest, chewiest bar.

| "When treasures are recipes they are less clearly, less distinctly remembered than when they are tangible objects. They evoke however quite as vivid a feeling-that is, to some of use who, considering cooking an art, feel that a way of cooking can produce something that approaches an aesthetic emotion. What more can one say? If one had the choice of again hearing Pachmann play the two Chopin sonatas or dining once more at the Cafe Anglais, which would one choose?" | | ~ Alice B. Toklas |
