8A COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL JANUARY 31, 2018 Maryana’s Cheese Sauce Betty Betty Kaiser's Cook's Cook's Corner bchatty@bettykaiser.com or (541) 942-1317 Pot pie experiments I love a good chicken pot pie but they are hard to fi nd. I’ve tried the frozen ones in the supermarket. I’ve tried ordering them for din- ner at diners and fi ne restaurants. Most of them are either boring, completely inedible or all hard-as-nails crust and no fi lling. The only solution was to make my own! One night last week I was faced with a familiar dilemma—what to make for dinner. I had just about an hour to get it on the table. What to do? I had baked a whole chicken a couple nights before so there were leftovers in the refrigerator. I also had the usual celery, onions, carrots and frozen vegetables on hand. A light bulb went off—I’ll make a pot pie! The problem was that I seldom make pot pies and I didn’t have a written recipe. My mother’s recipe fi le doesn’t even have one. I am basically starting from scratch every time I make one. This time I wrote down the ingredients and three-step procedure. For me, a pot pie is as much about the crust as the fi lling. I like a fl aky top crust (no bottom) and lots of sauce covering the chicken and veggies. I began with the crust. Pie dough is simple. I knew the ingredients that I wanted for the fi lling—chicken, celery, onion, carrots, pea and potatoes. The sauce I wasn’t so sure about. Under the best of circumstances, I probably would use a thinned down gravy to cover the fi lling. But the family (Chuck and I and the dogs) had polished off the gravy. Some kind of cream sauce was in order. But what kind? In situations like this I have two referenc- es: My 1956 Betty Crocker’s Cookbook and Maryana Vollstedt’s “What’s for Dinner?” cookbook. Betty Crocker’s options were to extend leftover gravy with a white cream sauce or just use a white cream sauce. Her two sug- gestions for a crust were—a puff pastry or southern style biscuits. I didn’t like either one. So, I checked out what well known cookbook author, columnist and teacher Maryana had to say about sauces. Maryana, who passed away last summer at the age of 91, is my very favorite cookbook author. She lived in Eugene, Oregon, where she and her husband founded Reed and Cross, a small nursery and garden center. When I moved here in 1989, Reed and Cross was the place that you took visiting friends for lunch. Its roots were in gardening but eventually housed a gift shop, clothing, gourmet cookware, a landscape service, wine shop, a fl orist and a deli. It is now a shoe store but then, it was a shopper's dream! I became acquainted with Maryana through her freelance recipe columns in the Register Guard. I not only clipped her columns but I own two of her now well-thumbed and splattered cookbooks “The Big Book of Casseroles” and “What’s for Dinner?” I used her Par- mesan Cheese Sauce recipe for the fi lling. It was good but next time I’m going to spice it up a little. Maybe some sharp cheddar or green Tabasco. Enjoy!
