In the old days, the Persians were famous for the varieties of ASH (soup to us) which they could prepare. The Persian word for "cook" is ash-paz, literally "maker of soup". The word "kitchen" in Persian is ash-paz-khaneh, that is "the house of the cook". This should indicate the importance of the word ASH and the role that soup used to play in the lives of ancient Persians.

SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN Caroline Child Tucker 12 whole chicken breasts, boned or 24 mixed chicken pieces 1 lg. green pepper, diced 1 c. brown sugar 1 c. ketchup 1 can (No.2) crushed pineapple 3 T. prepared mustard 1 lg. onion, diced Simmer ketchup, custard, sugar and pineapple in a saucepan for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, saute onion and green pepper in a little oil in a frying pan. After 10 to 15 minutes, add onion and green pepper to saucepan mixture, and continue cooking for 10 minutes. Pour over seasoned chicken pieces. Bake boned breasts 45 minutes at 375 degrees; other parts 1 1/2 hours at 350 degrees HOISIN CHICKEN Virginia Butterworth Eng-Wong 3 or 4 black mushrooms 6 water chestnuts, diced 1 or 2 whole chicken breasts 1/2 c. bamboo shoots, diced 2 T. sherry 1 med. green pepper, diced 2 tsp. cornstarch 1 tsp. sugar 3 T. oil 2 T.

RED-COOKED CHICKEN Harriet Mills 1 (5-6 lbs.) chicken, whole or cut up 1 wedge ginger root (size of 50¢ piece) 1 clove garlic 4 T. sugar (or to taste) 1 c. water 1 star anise 2 tsp. sherry 1 c. light soy sauce (regular supermarket type) 1 c. dark soy sauce (regular soy sauce will do) Wash chicken thoroughly and dry with paper towels. Some people hang chicken up for a few hours before cooking. This insures greater absorption of sauce and therefore a darker, more appealing color. Smash wedge of ginger and bruise garlic. Mix all ingredients together. Bring combined ingredients to boil, and add whole chicken. Simmer for 20 minutes on each side (total of 1 hour 20 minutes; less for cut up chicken), basting often. Remove and cool. Chop chicken, if whole, into bite sized pieces to serve. Heat sauce and pour 1/4 cup over chicken. Serves 5 to 6. This is best served cold. I personally do not reheat the sauce and pour it over the chicken. I find the chicken very nice for buffets, picnics and general icebox consumption. The sauce can be kept for quite awhile in the refrigerator and used to cook more chicken. I recommend spicing it up a bit with a bit of new ginger, garlic, and a little more soy sauce. Home is the place where we grumble the most and are treated the best.
