Chattanooga-area cooks serve up their recipes in pairs

Welcome to fast-fleeing June and some delicious fare, exchanged.

T. Square has been searching Chattanooga for Mrs. Smith’s blackberry cobbler. “No luck. There isn’t a homemade cobbler better than hers, but I am going to need either a homemade blackberry cobbler recipe or a tip on where to find Mrs. Smith’s frozen version.”

T. Square continued with one more request, as an avid reader of the Wall Street Journal. “I always read their food stories, but a recent story got me. Spoon bread, according to the writer, is made with as much sugar as the cornmeal and flour mixture. I want a decent recipe for spoon bread, the old-time favorite my mother-in-law used to make. I don’t want a corn cake.”

Gigi Gross is calling for your help. “I read several weeks ago about a great easy tea. It sounded like a tea that Betsy Anderson always served in the summer. I loved that it had the amounts and not just guesses. It was Lipton instant lemon something, and it sounded so refreshing.”
