Out of curiosity, does anyone have Alice's brownie receipt?

My American edition of her cookbook left it out.

B. Toklas?

And what else are you trying to be by using the word "receipt" instead of "recipe"?

Pompous.

Hee Hee Hee.

Cool.

I'm googling and not having any luck. Then again, I could be using the wrong Alice. Doesn't Alice Cooper make brownies?

I G**gled & found it.

Should have thought of that before.

Alice qui?

[torakris]

you aren't going to share it?

[claire797]

I don't know exactly which of her recipes Matthew wants (wanted), but here's one that sounds good -- brownies with rum and walnuts.

Alice Medrich's Brownies

Matthew's shy now.

Nice recipes, claire. Have you tried any of them?

I was after the Toklas receipt due to curiosity. As I noted above, the receipt was deleted from the American edition that I have. And, of course, the American introduction talks about that. Of course, I wondered what the deal was.

You can G**gle for it easily enough. But, IMHO, don't bother.

But if you want to share some good brownie recipes, keep this thread going!

Has anyone made any of these brownies? Can you tell me a bit about them? I would love to have a great brownie recipe in my repertoire, but haven't been able to master one yet. I am looking for a moist, chewy brownie with a light crust on top. Just like mom used to make..........

I've made Elizabeth's Ultimate Brownie recipe twice, and it rocks!

[claire797]

I just looked at Elizabeth's brownie recipe. Those look awesome! My favorite brownies are the kind that are somewhat cakey (but not too!) and frosted. Unfrosted brownies, no matter how fudgy, bore me. They have to be either frosted or marbled with cream cheese or peanut butter.

I'm of the fudgey persuasion myself - fudgey with a nice thin crust on top. And walnuts. Gotta have walnuts.

Did I post my recipe in the other thread?

The great thing about Elizabeth's recipe is that the brownies are frosted upside down, so you still get to taste that nice crust!

Wasn't Ms. Toklas's recipe for hashish fudge?

[elyse]

Yep.

[JFLinLA]

At the bottom of some pile somewhere I've got the old Alice's Restaurant cook book -- as in the Arlo Guthrie song. I wonder if they have a brownie recipe. I'll have to check later.
