Our Cookbook Blog

Our Cookbook ~ What We Cook, is a compilation of every recipe we (Janice and Carissa) cook - recipes from our cookbook collections, our recipe boxes, and our heads! We set up this blog for friends and family who have our cookbook to let them see pictures we post of the recipes in the book, and also for us to note any corrections, revisions, or additions to What We Cook. We encourage people who are cooking our recipes to let us know how the recipes turn out and any suggestions they might want to make.

In addition, we will be sharing some of our new recipes (along with pictures) that are not in our cookbook. We hope you will help us out and test recipes and give us your comments.

Rosemary Garlic Focaccia Bread ~ page 288

This bread is not kneaded, so it is fast to make. You can make any size loaf you like. I made loaves suited for slicing for sandwiches.

The interesting thing about this recipe is the large amount of fresh garlic in it. If you don't have a garlic press, just mince the garlic with a knife. I used a new gadget on the fresh rosemary: an herb cutter. The multiple blades makes chopping herbs--my rosemary in this case--super fast!

After rising, brush the loaves with olive oil and sprinkle with more of the fresh rosemary and some garlic salt.

We like this bread with the Italian Chicken Sandwich spread on page 69. Believe me, this is a wonderful, marvelous sandwich, tasty from the inside to the flavorful bread on the outside.
