THE FOODS IN ANGIE'S KITCHEN Who could forget the recipes in SOMETHING'S COOKING, the book that introduced Angelina Amalfi and San Francisco Homicide Inspector Paavo Smith to the world?  Recipes for pureed brussels sprouts over poached eggs, or sauerkraut chocolate cake, plus references to marshmallow and bean sprout blintzes, peanut butter omelets and liver-pate waffles were featured. Delicious recipes and top San Francisco restaurant menus are discussed in later books (except, perhaps, for a few soymilk and beancurd "delights" in COOKING UP TROUBLE). Chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate caused some serious reader salivating in COOK'S NIGHT OUT. But Angie doesn't want any of you to think she isn't a terrific cook, so she promises that on this very spot, she'll present her   FAVORITE RECIPES EASY BLUEBERRY COBBLER An unbelievably simple but delicious cobbler ********************************************************* Prior featured recipes: MEXICAN TEA CAKES A delicate butter pecan cookie FUDGE ECSTASIES A simple, out of this world, super-fudgy brownie ZESTY CORN CHOWDER Sweet corn, potatoes, bacon, onions, and chiles for "zest" make this a wonderful soup. ANGIE’S PASTA WITH PROSCIUTTO AND SUN-DRIED TOMATOES This is one of Paavo’s favorite dishes. The mincing and chopping take a little time, but the actual cooking goes very fast. ANGIE'S BASIC BRUSCHETTA Angie searches out interesting foods for a party buffet in the A COOK IN TIME. Bruschetta (pronounced broo-ske-ta) is wonderful at any time.

SAUERKRAUT CHOCOLATE CAKE This recipe of the month was discussed in SOMETHING'S COOKING (in which a police officer thought it was a joke--it isn't. It's actually delicious.
