FROM THE EDITOR

I've had some requests for information on Cooking for a Crowd so I have added one which I hope you will find useful. There are some recipes and lots of links to recipes for quantity cooking. With graduation Open Houses right around the corner there are a couple of menus with recipes to help you plan the perfect event for your graduate.

If any of you have suggestions for types of recipes you would like to see featured in the newsletter, please e-mail me. I'm always looking for new ideas.

I also have a request. Will you please take a moment and vote for That's My Home at Chef2Chef? We are getting close to going into the Hall of Fame. I only need another 2,500 points and if everyone who gets this newsletter votes, I will be way over that goal. Here's the link. http://chef2chef.net/rank/inter.shtml You will also find links to 100 other recipe sites. If you haven't yet visited my friend Becky's site, Becky's Cookbook, you should take a moment and visit. It is a wonderful site will all tried and true family favorites. Becky is currently #4, please vote for her also if you enjoy her site.

Totally off topic for a moment, there is a real nasty Virus going around, "W32.Klez.gen" It is making it's rounds on the Yahoo cooking boards and several others that I am aware of. It is not even safe to open an attachment from someone you know if it has not been scanned by virus protection. Just be careful. Everyone I know who has gotten this virus has opened an attachment from someone they know. Now that I've gone on so long, it is time for the recipes!

The link to Quantity Cooking can also be found in the Office at Razzle Dazzle under Party Planning. http://www.razzledazzlerecipes.com/quantity/

2 T. honey

KITCHEN TIPS ... ALL ABOUT CHILIES

Here are a few of the most-used chiles among the more than 200 varieties that have been identified. Most are available in local Hispanic markets and farmers markets.

ANCHO: The dried form of the green poblano pepper. Its smoky flavor is reminiscent of coffee, prunes and tobacco. Varies in pungency from mild to medium.
CASCABEL: A dried, dark reddish-brown chile with smooth, tough skin and a round shape, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Medium-hot, with a slightly acidic quality, it's often used in uncooked table salsas.
CHIPOTLE: The dried and smoked form of a fresh jalapeno chile, dusty brown in color. It is ridged, with wrinkly skin, and measures about 2 to 2 1/2 inches long and about 3/4 inch to 1 inch wide. It has a rich, smoky, tobaccolike flavor with a very pronounced heat. Pronounced chuh-POAT-lay.
DE ARBOL: A dried, bright red chile measuring 2 to 3 inches long and related to the cayenne chile. Very hot, with intense flavor.
GUAJILLO: A dried red chile pod that resembles a dried New Mexican pod but is smaller and smoother in texture. It has an earthy flavor.
JALAPENO: A fresh, small, thick-fleshed green chile about 2 inches long and 1 inch wide. The most popular hot green chile.
MORITAS: Another type of dried, smoked jalapeno chile that is deep red to red-brown in color. It measures 1 to 2 inches long and about 3/8 inch wide.
NEW MEXICAN GREEN CHILE: A fresh variety of chile in its green form, measuring about 4 to 6 inches long. There are a variety of types of this chile, distinguished by heat level from mild to hot. When it is called for, it is assumed that the chile has been roasted and peeled.
NEW MEXICAN RED PODS: The form of the green chile that has ripened to the red state and dried. The traditional method for storing them is to tie them in a long bunch, called a ristra.
MULATO: A type of poblano chile, dried, browner in color than the ancho chile and slightly smokier, but without the depth. It is one of the three chiles used in traditional mole poblano (ancho and pasilla are the other two).
PASILLA: A dried chile, translated as "little raisin." Also called chile negro. Brownish-black in color, wrinkled, long and tapered.
POBLANO: Fresh form of the ancho chile, measuring 3 to 4 inches long. Its size and the thickness of its flesh make it a good choice for chile rellenos. Dark green in color, the poblano is usually charred and peeled to bring out its full flavor.
SERRANO: A fresh, small green chile, cylindrical in shape and measuring about 1 to 2 inches long and 1/2 to 3/4 inch wide. Crisp and hot, it's used extensively in salsas.
