"Playwrights are like men who have been dining for a month in an Indian restaurant. After eating curry night after night, they deny the existence of asparagus."
Peter Ustinov

Asian recipes have draw on thousands of years of experience to produce a rich variety of spicy and healthy recipes.

"The dishes of the present day are very light, and they have a particular delicacy and perfume. The secret has been discovered of enabling us to eat more and to eat better, as also to digest more rapidly....The new cookery is conductive to health, to good temper, and to long life....Who could enumerate all the dishes of the new cuisine? It is an absolutely new idiom. I have tasted viands prepared in so many ways and fashioned with such art that I could not imagine what they were."
Louis Sebastien Mercier

Chinese Fortune Cookies #3

 

Ingredients

3 large egg whites
3/4 cup sugar
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 lb butter, melted
1/4 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp almond extract
1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
2 tbsp water



 

Preparation

Combine egg whites, sugar & salt. Beat in, one ingredient at a time,
the butter, extracts, flour & water. Blend thoroughly & chill for 20
minutes.Preheat to 350 deg. Do just 2 or 3 cookies at a time. Drop
slightly rounded teaspoonfuls of thick batter for each cookie onto a
lightly greased cookie sheet. Spread the dough very thin, using the
back of the spoon, making rounds about 3 inches in diameter. Bake for
5 minutes., or until the edges begin to brown lightly. Remove to a
wire rack. Working quickly, place a fortune in the center of each
cookie. Fold opposite sides together, crease crosswise at the center
of the straight edge to form a flattened side, then bend backward for
the traditional shape. Cool in muffin tins or small glasses to hold
shape. Makes about 4 dozen.
