Cookbook #46: Spices of the World Cookbook by McCormick<\/em>. Mary Collins, Home Economics Director of McCormick. Produced for McCormick by Penguin Books, first published 1969, my copy is reprinted 1972.<\/p>\n

The Spices of the World Cookbook was one of my favorites for years. My copy is old and tattered and many of the pages are falling out. Since I only marked one recipe and there are few food stains in this book, I probably used it mostly as a reference or for ideas. Since it is produced by the spice company, McCormick, the recipes are all nicely seasoned. It\u2019s an interesting cookbook to have around, but it is not a current favorite of mine.<\/p>\n

The recipe I used a lot – and will use again – is the one for pickle relish. I so enjoyed making dill pickles<\/a> a few weeks ago that I\u2019d like to make relish too.<\/p>\n

For this blog, I chose a recipe for Waldorf Salad. I remember these from childhood, but I\u2019m not sure I have ever made one myself.<\/p>\n

I originally planned Waldorf Salad to accompany focaccia sandwiches prepared in my Foreman\u2019s grill. But the weather had another plan. It rained, and rained. Lyons, Colorado flooded, and we lost power, so no grill pan sandwiches.<\/p>\n

In spite of our power outage and then the flooding and destruction of the roads to anywhere from where we live, I forged ahead with the Waldorf Salad. Luckily the batteries in my camera were charged, and the salad was a simple preparation requiring only a knife, no power equipment!<\/p>\n

Here is the original recipe, scanned in from the book:<\/p>\n

\"Waldorf<\/a>I made a half recipe and it lasted us for a couple days. It stored fine in the refrigerator (still cold thanks to our generator).<\/p>\n
