SUN-DRIED TOMATOES



  Flashes in the Pan; The Washington Post (1974-Current file), Washington, D.C.; Oct 4, 1981; pg. K1, 1 pgs
("The tomato, over the centuries, has been back and forth across the Atlantic to seek favor. Now, with most of the year offering only pale tomato facsimiles, we turn to Italy again.  Sun-dried tomatoes, preserved in olive oil, were the flashy immigrants in posh food stores last year, so much so that the supplies ran out.  Now Suzanne's has them again, and we would be surprised if other stores didn't follow.  Their concentrated tomato flavor would compensate for winter's missing tomato-ness in recipes, but given their price--$7.20 for 10 ounces--and their deliciousness as is or layered on bread, they are better as a focus than as a flavoring.")

CHICKEN A LA KIEFF

   I traveled to the Ukraine for this, but it didn't help.  I have earlier, but maybe this chef invented it?
