Things have gotten very specific. Not sure I’d buy a $32.50 book of just fruitcake recipes. You’d have to really, really, really love fruitcake.
There was an article the other day in the paper about how flasks have become very popular during the pandemic. The author bought some at, you guessed it, flasks.com. And I just got a popup ad for exit signs from a merchant that sells nothing but exit signs, something like theexitstore.com. Maybe I shouldn’t poke fun at them, now that I think about it, I have bought stuff from very targeted online stores. I order sump pumps from sumppumpsdirect.com, and I ordered a kit to fix squeaky floors from squeakyfloor.com. But 75 recipes for fruitcake seems extreme.

Fruit Cake Food stylist Jason Schreiber has transformed his lifelong love of baking and high-profile stints with Martha Stewart and celebrity cake king Ron Ben-Israel into a visually stunning and somewhat game-changing first cookbook about the role of fruit in cake. Featuring 38 different fruits and 75 tantalizing recipes, Schreiber's "Fruit Cake: Recipes for the Curious Baker" (William Morrow, $32.50) re-imagines the much-maligned fruitcake in modern recipes that use fruit to enhance flavor and moisture. Chapters are organized by cake category, such as "Soaked," and recipes run the gamut from winter-perfect polenta pound cake with spiced mandarins (Constant Cravings) and banana tiramisu (Soaked) to passion fruit lime Pavlova (Showstoppers). You'll never think of fruitcake the same way. Now, it's fruit and cake. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 12/6/2020 7:53 AM, Chuck McCown via AF wrote: Latin Bible is called the vulgate.

But yeah, macadamias and brazil nuts are out. Peanuts which are in a different family are also out. Of course, it's been a long time since we figured out what I was allergic to, so there is always the possibility that we missed testing one, and that I'm not allergic to it, but the set of nuts I know 100% I'm allergic to is large enough and contains enough of the "tree nut" family that I'm not eager to go re-test all of them...

FWIW that recipe I found on foodnetwork.com <http://foodnetwork.com> looks like you could easily just leave out the pecans. But it looks like too much work - for half the effort, I have a poppy seed bundt cake recipe I’d make.

Everything's destroyed and there's nothing left but rats, roaches and a giant pile of fruitcake. Guess what happens? They all starve to death. Now in fairness I like a the right fruitcake, but since I have that pesky nut allergy, I have to basically bake it myself. And yes, those scary candied fruits are in recipe.
