Some LeRuth's Dressing Recipes

Thanks for sharing. My dad told me he invented green goddess dressing. Lovely

What’s the MSM in the Roquefort?

Never bought corn oil in my life.

That avocado dressing looks delicous though.

Catsup?

Catsup with that? Must be Hunt’s people.

And yeah, I’d bet MSM means MSG unless someone can provide a better explanation. My mom used to keep a little container of Accent in the cupboard. The fact that the recipe calls for just 1/8 tsp I think supports that assumption.

Oh, and who has a 1/8 tsp measure? Just say a “pinch.”

1/8 teaspoon is probably used to scale up the batch. He probably had a recipe for a large batch with cups, tablespoons, etc. and he scaled it down for home use. You keep the 1/8 teaspoon measurement in there so you can scale it up if needed.

Ketchup or Catsup? Good ol CFR 21 155.194 will tell you. One of the many CFRs I had to know in college and still remember. The name changed from catsup to ketchup with the controversy of sodium benzoate and those who used it as a preservative and those who did not.

Where did you hear this? Would love to attend.

At Martin Wine Cellar in Metairie.

I talked to Jacques yesterday about the book. Super nice, humble young man. I wish he, his wife and business partner, and their business all possible success!
