Tear off a square of plastic wrap large enough to hold the food in a flat package (Single layer). Place the food on the plastic. 2. Flavor the food with a scattering of fresh herbs and 1 tablespoon of oil or butter. Do not season with salt and pepper as this will draw moisture from the food. 3. Wrap the contents securely into a flat package. Place the package in a steamer set over rapidly boiling water and cover. 4. Steam for the time given in the recipe or use the general guide. 5. Carefully unwrap the (hot!) package with the aid of scissors or a knife. 6. Season immediately after steaming. -- Recipes from Jean-Georges Vongerichten in SIMPLE CUISINE, Easy Recipes for Four-Star Food (1990: MacMillan). -- Text summarized by and email from kitpath@earthlink.net 2/99 to ELF, FS TIP 1: They use a traditional Chinese bamboo basket steamer in the restaurant. Use any form of steamer, purchased or improvised. TIP 2: timing -Thin Fish: not recommended -Thick Fish (1 inch thick): 7 mins for Halibut steak; 10 mins for Monkfish, swordfish, and salmon steaks -Sea scallops (left large): 7 to 8 mins -Shrimp: 5 to 10 mins from Medium through Jumbo (see tip 3) -Boneless half chicken breast: 15 mins TIP 3: Steaming without Plastic Wrap (Shrimp only) Step 1: Arrange 6 large shrimp in a single layer in a steamer over rapidly boiling water and cover. Step 2: Steam for 90 seconds. Step 3: Remove shrimp from the steamer and let rest 30 seconds. For shrimp more well done, cover before the resting period. OPTIONS: Steaming works best when the food to be cooked is arranged in a single layer. Don't stack scallops, for example; instead, arrange them in a flat package. You can, however, top the food with a small quantity of half-cooked cut-up vegetables and then wrap. The vegetables will finish cooking at the same time. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - NOTES : Wrapping in plastic prevents direct contact with steam and creates a gentle "second steaming" within the plastic. The wrapping saves all the cooking juices. Use a plastic wrap that is heat tolerant -- such as a wrap formulated for use in microwave ovens. Nutr.

PIZZA IS RIGHT UP there with fondue as one of America's most fun-to-eat and delicious foods, so a pizza-flavored fondue seems in order. Focaccia, the Italian flatbread, is the perfect dipping ingredient, as it resembles a topping-less pizza crust.
