1960: Bagna Cauda by Craig Claiborne
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup olive oil
6 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced tissue-thin
One 2-ounce can anchovy fillets, drained
Salt, if needed
Fresh vegetables, for serving.
1. Combine the butter and oil in a saucepan and add the garlic. Cook over the lowest heat for 15 minutes without letting the mixture boil.
2. Chop the anchovies and add to the oil. Stir until the anchovies dissolve. Do not let the sauce boil or brown. Season with salt if needed. Keep hot over a candle or spirit lamp. (See note.)
3. Prepare an assortment of raw vegetables, like cucumber, cauliflowerettes, strips of green pepper, celery, carrots and endive. Serve separately for dipping.
Serves 10.
Note: I left this line because it’s a great snapshot of a time when chafing dishes and double boilers were kitchen staples. Now I’d simply say, “Eat right away!”
Airhead Pancakes
David Eyre’s Pancake
Adapted from Craig Claiborne
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon sugar
confectioner’s sugar (to taste)
fresh lemon juice (to taste)
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, flour, and tablespoon of sugar. Melt the butter in a 12-inch skillet or ovenproof dish. Pour the batter into the pan or dish and bake for 20 minutes or until the pancake puffs up and turns golden brown (as seen in the photo above). Sprinkle with the confectioner’s sugar and lemon juice. Watch it quickly deflate (as seen in the photo below) and serve immediately.
Serves two to four (depending on your will power).
