Another Great Vintage Issue of Gourmet
August 3, 2015
April, 1975 is such a rich issue you could spend hours reading articles by Joseph Wechsberg, Naomi Barry and Lillian Langseth-Christensen. There are wonderful restaurant reviews by Jay Jacobs and Caroline Bates. And then you could go on to spend days cooking from the issue. Literally; some of these recipes are stunningly time-consuming.
This was the issue that introduced the Food Processor to the American public.
And here is the first recipe; it would make a perfect little summer supper.
And – sorry, I couldn't resist this – here's a rather shocking example of what is now being called "native advertising," smack dab in the middle of the article.

The recipe sounds most excellent but I am still trying to figure out that rolling them into “cork” shapes and pan frying will allow them to look like the ones in the picture. I guess I will try it and see. Thank you Ruth and Gourmet for one of many thousands of recipes. I received the magazine from 1975 until the very end. RIP.
Hi GM –
The picture is actually brioche – they didn’t show what the “corks” look like. I’m imagining stubby little tubes, but I don’t think the shape really matters. You could make them into little patties just as easily.
But at this point Gourmet was testing all the recipes – the great Sally Darr was a senior editor – so you can be sure that this works.
Anxiously awaiting your return to Tucson for the Book Festival next year!
