Mmm, Comfort Food

During these cold, winter months it can be nice to have some hearty food to enjoy. In the February/March issue of Fine Cooking magazine, comfort food lovers will find recipes to warm their hearts and their stomachs.

There are two recipes for macaroni and cheese, one that is traditional and one that has pork and scallions. See page 8 of the magazine for the pork version and page 90 for the more conventional offering.

The Fine Cooking editors didn't neglect decadent desserts either. See pages 76-79 for two different takes on Devil's Food Cake.

For those who want to learn more about comfort food and try their hands at some other comfort food recipes, here are two titles that are available in the Sullivan Library and Learning Resource Center.

Elegant Comfort Food from the Dorset Inn by Jane and Michael Stern; 641.5974 S839e

Heirloom Cooking with the Brass Sisters, Queens of Comfort Food by Marilyn and Sheila Brass; 641.5973 B823h

The librarians will be glad to help anyone who needs assistance finding the magazine Fine Cooking or either of the titles mentioned here.

Enjoy!

Black History Month

The Sullivan Library and Learning Resource Center commemorates Black History Month with a book display featuring items from our collection. Please feel free to speak with one of the librarians if you want to check out one of the books on display, if you want more information about Black History Month, or if you want to find other books about African-Americans in our collection.

You may also want to check out the poster for the Coretta Scott King Book Awards that we have posted. The Coretta Scott King Book Awards are given in honor of the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and in honor of his wife Coretta Scott King, who continued his efforts after his death. The awards are given annually to books created by African-American authors and illustrators that celebrate the African-American experience.
