C'est parfait, voila a veggie thin so dressed tonite, so baby sit them and make them bite!

Instructions for the Cracquelin and the Hors d'ouvres:

1) Using a food processor mix 1/4 c. Creamo (R), 1/2 c. condensed chicken noodle soup (strained), 1 1/2 c. whole wheat flour, 1 c. oat flour, 1 yolk, 1/2 tsp of leaven of baking soda, 1/2 c. butter, 1/2 tsp salt, using a scissors cut the seaweed into thin stripped bits and sprinkle liberally into the dough mix, and finally mix in the macha green tea powder to a 1/3 c. measure. It's a 'tight' dough so round it to a ball and load it to a cookie cutter by opening the cannister and using a 1/8'' die and lay out 2 doz. cookies or so on a well-larded cookie sheet for the cookies a la cracquelins. Sprinkle atop the sesame and poppy seed on with a pinch of each.

2) Bake in a pre-heated 200 deg C oven for 5-7 mins. max.

3) For constructing the hors d'ouvres take: strawberry cream cheese at the base, smoked salmon filleted, cucumber slices, cracked black pepper sprinkled and pink sushi ginger.


Using a Heavy Duty Mixer Like a Kitchen Aid (R) with Attachments:

Scaling up using a Kitchen Aid (R) mixer this is an option for food making avoiding very expensive options to use further attachment half the price of the original equipment with with for e. g. a veggie maker or pasta maker for fancy salads or casseroles and of course paste dishes.


Using Substitutes for the Cracquelin.

Oh, and if you're busy or lazy that day turn to your grocers by using Scandinavian bread thins or Oriental rice crackers. This is recommended if you are babysitting impromptu for your young clients to get their teeth into something as an opener to homework, video games and tutoring for the evening and as a reward for all their efforts while Mom and Dad are away.




IN PRACTICE SOME
COOKING TIPS BY THE TIME DINNER COMES ROUND WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS:

#1 

Keep it simple. Note and go through each step of the cooking process from prep time (including arranging ingredients), utensils, including pots and pans, preheat the oven and set timer for cooking time, after let set aside to cool down according to instructions; serve also in the manner for presentation as recommended by the recipe-maker.

#2

Check for doneness with cooking time: e. g. for roasts, use a roasting thermometer, a toothpick for breads, puddings and cakes; note the need to pre-coat the sheet pans for baking with shortening/oil. For pasta and vegetables follow carefully instructions to be al dente adding enough water, gentle boiling with salt added and tasting regularly the bite, followed by draining and washing several times.

#3

As a rule we prepare and present foods readily using only the implements and serving dishes and/or pans that allow for this to avoid any extra artistry thru decorative needs as is limited, involved with the dish. Alternatively follow according to script the illustrated suggestion on the packaging.
