The document contains letters from readers responding to articles in Fine Cooking magazine. One reader asks the magazine to include nutritional analysis in their recipes to help track fat intake.

The document discusses various facts and statistics about peanut butter consumption in America. It notes that over 500 peanuts are needed to make a 12-ounce jar of peanut butter and that Americans spend $800 million annually on peanut butter. It also shares that the average American child will eat over 1,500 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches before graduating high school.
Peanuts are planted in April and harvested 120-160 days later. They are roasted, shelled, and ground into peanut butter. Peanut butter is most famously used in PB&J sandwiches but also in many baked goods. A classic recipe is for peanut butter cookies, which are made by creaming butter and sugars together before mixing in peanut butter, eggs, and dry ingredients. Peanut butter festivals celebrate the popular spread with activities like cook-offs and contests.

Open lots provide for improved control of diet, health, and monitoring of activity of the animals. Feeding areas such as these also can have disadvantages such as solid manure accumulation, surface water contamination when runoff water is uncontrolled, such systems are labor and machine intensive, and can contribute herd health issues because of high stocking densities, dust, or mud. Forage based grazing can negate many of these issues and is arguably more sustainable and environmentally friendly. However intensive grazing strategies must be employed to obtain comparable productivity. Development of technology that allows for these benefits is needed. Cross fencing and rotational grazing practices would benefit from more flexible and less labor intensive ways of controlling the grazing area.
This document provides recipes for four biscuit dishes: 3-ingredient coconut oil biscuits, biscuits and gravy casserole, sausage and cheese biscuit, and 3-ingredient cream cheese biscuits. The coconut oil biscuits use self-rising flour, coconut oil, and coconut milk. The biscuits and gravy casserole layers biscuit quarters and a sausage gravy made from breakfast sausage, flour, and milk. The sausage and cheese biscuit combines biscuit dough, cheddar cheese, sausage, and milk into one large biscuit. The cream cheese biscuits use cream cheese, butter, self-rising flour, and require only three ingredients to make flaky, tender biscuits.

This document outlines a diet plan for Tattersall Farm that focuses on producing high yield staple crops like potatoes, carrots, beans, and fruits to supply local food banks. The farm will grow vegetables like potatoes, carrots, peas, beans, cucumbers, lettuce, tomatoes, radish, squash, zucchini, and pumpkin. Fruits will include apples, pears, grapes, strawberries, and blueberries. Protein will come from beef, poultry, and pork due to the labor required for grain. Calculations are provided for projected yields and servings from various crop beds.

Portion sizes of many foods have increased significantly over the past 20 years, contributing to larger waistlines for many Americans. Researchers found that commercial portions can be up to eight times larger than federal standards, and many foods contain 2.5 or more servings compared to the labeled serving size. Larger portions mean more calories consumed. Experts say this trend towards larger portions has paralleled rising obesity rates in the country.

are concerned with nutritionalanalysis of
the foods they cook. I find this informa-
tion extremely helpful in keeping track of
the amount of fat my family eats, and it
also helps me decide when I need to mod-
ify a recipe to keep the fat intake in our
daily diet within the recommended 30%
range. To my mind, this analysis is far
more useful than presenting special low-
calorie recipes. I hope you'll consider in-
corporating this information.

RENNET OR RENNIN,
IT'S STILL CHEESE
We noted an error in Ari Weinzweig's de-
scription of how cheese is made (Fine
Cooking # 1, p. 49) . Rennet is any agent
of either animal or vegetable origin that
causes milk to clot. Rennin is rennet that
has been obtained from ruminant ani-
mals. Rennin has been in short supply for
some years, but is now available as re-
combinant rennin. This is the first genet-
ically engineered food ingredient.

HURRY CURRY
I was delighted to read Aminni Ra-
machandran's article, "South Indian
Chicken Curry" (Fine Cooking#2), since
my roots also are in Kerala, India. How-
ever, since I have to cook quickly for lack
oftime, I have several shortcuts for cook-
ing foods native to a slower pace oflife.
I stock commercially available jars of
chopped garlic, and I always keep a
gingerroot in a sealed plastic bag in the
freezer. I break off a small section at a
time, but it also can be peeled and
chopped before freezing. Also, Thai
coconut milk (available in most Asian
groceries) is an excellent product, and
freezing it in ice-cube trays gives you
small portions to use as needed. Finally, I
cook curries in a small pressure cooker.
All told, my curries are done in half an
hour from start to serving. The best part
ofcooking Indian curries is that leftovers
actually taste better the next day!

THE FINE ART OF
WEIGHING FLOUR
In the Letters department of Fine Cook-
ing #3, you discuss two flour-related
topics: weight vs. volume measures, and
the gluten content of flours. Because
there are differences in protein contents
between brands of flours, you never can
know exactly how much flour you'll
need. Weight is more precise than vol-
ume in flour measurement, but unless
you know the flour's exact protein con-
tent, getting the appropriate quantity is
still something of an art.
A couple ofyears ago, when I was the
head cook at a Plymouth, Massachusetts,
retreat, I received King Arthur Special
Flour from two different purveyors. One
company marketed the flour as all-
purpose, the other as bread flour.To con-
fuse matters further, I received the store
brand ofKing Arthur as a substitution on
an order, and it too was labeled all-
purpose. When I called King Arthur in
Vermont, they explained that the "spe-
cial" flour was high in gluten-that is, a
bread flour-and the supermarket ver-
sion was actually all-purpose.
At a Culinary Institute of America
class, ChefRichard Coppedge explained
that King Arthur all-purpose flour was
higher in gluten-forming proteins than
most other all-purpose flours. He also
said that humidity had a definite effect
on the amount of water he used in bak-
ing. This explains why bread recipes,
whether you're using weight or volume,
need a range for flour quantities.
-David Shewmake1;
Ashfield, MA
Editor's note: Ellen Davies, director of
sales and marketing at King Arthur
Flour, concurs with Shewmaker's con-
clusion that both humidity and a flour's
protein content are factors in how much
flour a recipe needs. According to
Davies, King Arthur flour does have a
higher gluten content than most other
all-purpose flours. However, King
Arthur also makes a high-gluten flour-
King Arthur Special-that's designed
for breadmaking, but would produce
tough biscuits and pie crusts. The differ-
ence between these high- and higher-
gluten flours, says Davies, "is like the dif-
ference between skim milk and whole
milk." She offers an additional caution:
a flour's protein content can vary with
the crops. Last year's crop was poor,
which meant protein-poor flour. Davies
says this year's crop is shaping up as an
excellent one. +
