Jane HenegarWelcome to September and fine fare, for sure. As always we begin with requests, today for wraps and burritos and any recipes plain or fancy for Indian food. Also, please share with us your favorite places to take visitors for one-of-a-kind Chattanooga eateries that reflect local food tastes and local color.
From Pikeville, Tenn., came the carefully handwritten request for “any wrap or burrito recipes. They do not need to be cooked on the stove, oven or microwave.” G.C. and her husband, Mr. C., are wanting to entertain visiting friends with a distinctly Chattanooga flavor and secondly to learn Indian cuisine. For the latter, “We would love some easy recipes for beginning and also some special-occasion favorites. We have gotten pretty good with Thai food, and Indian food logically comes next. “
Our friend Marty Vaughn is up next. “I saw that you requested chicken liver recipes (and anyone who loves them loves them fried), but here’s a great recipe that my mother used to make. She recently passed away at 104, and so I submit this recipe for Sautéed Chicken Livers in her memory.”
Passing on her recipes is a great way to honor a cook’s memory, especially one who lived energetically all the way to 104. Mrs. Vaughn’s mother is Peg Butler, and her daughter described this dish as “absolutely delicious.”
