Cook Books

Here's a look into mom's cook book, "Come and Dine." It is quite a simple book, which doesn't mean it wasn't hard to put together. We don't have too many left so we hope you get your copy soon. Recipes were gathered from family and friends, some are complex and others are very simple meals. Exotic dishes from Indonesia are my favorite since a lot of those are mom's very own recipes. I love breakfast from Holland and never-heard of before stuff from the Aussie outback.

Anyhow, here's a little taste:

Pisang Goreng (Fried Bananas)

Ingredients:
2 eggs
5 large bananas
2 Tbsp. vanilla
oil for deep frying
3/4 C. milk
1 C. flour
salt to taste
powdered sugar

Slightly beat eggs with flour and milk. Add vanilla and salt. Slice bananas into large bite-size pieces and cover generously with the egg mixture. Deep-fry bananas with the mixture by the tablespoonful in hot oil until golden brown. Drain on absorbent paper and dust with powdered sugar.

Did you know that bananas can lower the risk of high blood pressure? This is because they are high in potassium. In WWII, my grandma used the white meat of the banana peel to soothe her children's upset stomachs.
