AU JUS

FRIED FISH IS a tasty and popular treat, but that crunch comes with a lot of calories. If you want to keep the crunch without crashing your diet, oven-frying fish or shellfish can give you results that are close to deep-fried, but with dramatic cuts in fat and calories.

And now for the final recipe from The Pilot's Dream Team, which captured a constellation of ribbons for cookies at the 2009 State Fair of Virginia.

I’ve made some new pals.

They are the happy sort, smart and energetic, and they never lick my face with their big, baloney-like tongues.

So when I saw a bone-shaped cookie cutter in a local kitchen shop, I scratched out the “bag of old tennis balls” note on my holiday gift list and decided instead to make something in the kitchen for my yellow Lab pals.

Stir up a smile among the cooks in your life. Cookbooks can please the beginning cook and the most accomplished chef, and publishers this year stand ready to please all kinds of palates. We sifted through scores of new releases, chose a few to test drive and then pared down the pile to 10 that includes goodies for cooks of all levels and likes.

When Angie Wheeler decided to enter The Virginian-Pilot's 2009 Dream Team competition, she chose the bar cookie category. The Suffolk resident figured it would allow her the versatility to develop something unique and delicious.

Dream Teamer Nancy Zeitman took first place at the State Fair of Virginia this year for her sugar-free cookies. Her winners are based on a sugar cookie recipe that a friend gave to her years ago.

VIRGINIA BEACH
Lunch had ended at Beach Day School, but at a round table ringed by 3-, 4- and 5-year-olds, there was plenty of eating ahead. Pumpkins, fat-fingered hands and broom handles and bristles had yet to be consumed.
