Cook's Illustrated
(Sep/Oct, 2011)
Like so many of the Cook's Illustrated recipes, this one is a bit involved, but the second time through was easy (of course). Wow. This yields an absolutely delicious product that can be reheated and provide almost a week of meals! The eggplant is peeled and diced and microwaved to get some of the cooking out of the way. The combination of that, green and yellow squash, Kalamata olives, cheese and simple tomato sauce yields a nearly perfect product every time. I prepared this two days ahead of time for a post-christmas meal with four of our children and it baked up that day just wonderfully. This one is a bit of effort, but well worth it!

Recipes - The Cooking Of Scandinavia - Foods Of The World
By By the Editors of Time-life Books
Time-Life Books - 1968
For christmas we wanted to make a Glögg and I picked this book up at a yard sale. We halved the recipe and served it over two days to a series of guests. It was sweet - but not too sweet - and wonderfully balanced with fruit and spice and a bit of alcohol-heat. One might improve the overall effect by putting the cardamom pods in a cheesecloth sack so that they don't get mixed up with the raisins, but that would be my only issue.
