Take them to work, someone will eat them.<\/p>\n<p>This month, Amy McDonald and Beth Doyle of the Rubenstein Test Kitchen turn their attention inward to focus on our very own food culture. The recipes this month came from <i><a href=\"http:\/\/search.library.duke.edu\/search?id=DUKE001245255\">Duke University Recipes: A Collection of Recipes from the Duke University Community, Compiled by the Duke University Library Staff Association<\/a> <\/i>(DULSA). This cookbook, dated 1977, was one in a series of annual cookbooks compiled by DULSA.<\/p>\n<p>Our first impression of the recipes in <i>Duke University Recipes<\/i> is that they are reminiscent of a particular type of independently-produced cookbooks (e.g. those created by churches, social clubs, member groups, etc.). If you are a fan of this genre of cookbooks you will recognize many of these recipes if not verbatim then by familiarity. They seem to be firmly situated in the culinary traditions of the 1970\u2019s. The recipes often mix prepared food stuffs (so much Jell-O) with fresh (or \u201cfresh\u201d) foods to create something not quite from-scratch but better than from a box alone.<\/p>\n<p>While there are many worthy entries in this cookbook, we wanted to pay homage to our colleagues by choosing three recipes submitted by Duke Libraries staff members who are still working at the library.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Orange Jello Cake (Recipe by Robert Byrd; baked by Beth)<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/stream\/dukeuniversityre00leon#page\/149\/mode\/1up\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10902 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2015\/06\/orange-cake-1.jpg\" alt=\"Recipe for Orange Jello Cake, part 1\" width=\"550\" height=\"283\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2015\/06\/orange-cake-1.jpg 550w, https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2015\/06\/orange-cake-1-300x154.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/stream\/dukeuniversityre00leon#page\/150\/mode\/1up\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10904 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2015\/06\/orange-cake-2.jpg\" alt=\"Recipe for Orange Jello Cake, part 2\" width=\"550\" height=\"265\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2015\/06\/orange-cake-2.jpg 550w, https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2015\/06\/orange-cake-2-300x145.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This recipe is one of those that is still popular today. It is usually called a \u201cno bake cheesecake\u201d or some variation of that theme. The recipe consists of a graham cracker crust, a cream cheese and whipped topping layer, and a Jell-O layer with canned fruit and orange sherbet added to the gelatin. When I asked Bob Byrd about this recipe he said, \u201cI have only a vague memory of this recipe, and I disclaim all responsibility for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The first two layers came together fine. The Jell-O layer was weird. It had so much liquid added to the Jell-O that it never really solidified, which was fine until it was served up. When cut and plated, the orange layer just slid off the base. But, as one taster said, \u201cIt all mixes in your stomach anyway.\u201d True enough.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10917\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10917\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2015\/06\/layers.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10917\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2015\/06\/layers.jpg\" alt=\"Orange Jello Cake Layers\" width=\"500\" height=\"421\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2015\/06\/layers.jpg 500w, https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2015\/06\/layers-300x253.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10917\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pretty layers.

The graham cracker crust provided a textural contrast to the soft upper layers. In terms of preparation, I think if you omitted the sherbet the Jell-O would set properly and not be so messy to eat.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2015\/06\/jello-cake.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10918\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2015\/06\/jello-cake.jpg\" alt=\"Jello Cake on a plate!\" width=\"500\" height=\"624\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2015\/06\/jello-cake.jpg 500w, https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2015\/06\/jello-cake-240x300.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a>And, as a final note, one of our colleagues (who was born way after the 1970s) commented, &#8220;This tastes exactly like what I imagine the 1970s to have been like.&#8221; So there you go.<\/p>\n<h3><b>DULSA Punch (Recipe by Cathy Leonardi; poured by Amy and Beth)<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/stream\/dukeuniversityre00leon#page\/186\/mode\/1up\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10906\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2015\/06\/punch.jpg\" alt=\"Recipe for DULSA Punch\" width=\"612\" height=\"233\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2015\/06\/punch.jpg 612w, https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2015\/06\/punch-300x114.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 612px) 100vw, 612px\" \/><\/a>We were surprised at how many recipes in this book called for bourbon. We were pleasantly surprised we found one we wanted to try. According to Cathy Leonardi, \u201cDULSA only served alcohol at one party each year, the Christmas party. The DULSA punch was the punch that was served. \u00a0Wink was like 7-Up. \u00a0The beauty of the punch was that it was easy to make. \u00a0I didn\u2019t invent the recipe. \u00a0It was given to me by someone who had previously made it for the Christmas party. \u00a0I put the recipe in the cookbook so that it would be easy to find for future parties.\u201d And are we glad she did!<\/p>\n<p>As far as punch recipes go, this is an easy one. The hardest part was finding the Wink soda (or is that pop?). Yes, Wink is still available but it is often found in the mixers section, not with the other sodas.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2015\/06\/wink.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10919\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2015\/06\/wink.jpg\" alt=\"DULSA Punch\" width=\"500\" height=\"583\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2015\/06\/wink.jpg 500w, https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2015\/06\/wink-257x300.jpg 257w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a>It mixes up to a beautiful reddish color. This is a very sweet punch with a little hint of Southern Comfort. Admittedly, we purchased the lower alcohol Southern Comfort since we planned on serving this at a reception at work. (We made a non-alcoholic version, too, but . . . that was less popular.) The general consensus was that it was the best thing on the table when we taste tested the recipes.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10921\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10921\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2015\/06\/chilling.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10921\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2015\/06\/chilling.jpg\" alt=\"Southern Comfort in the refigerator\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2015\/06\/chilling.jpg 500w, https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2015\/06\/chilling-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10921\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Southern Comfort chilling in the staff refrigerator, along with everyone&#8217;s lunches.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><b>Strawberry Pie (Recipe by Vickie Long; baked by Amy)<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/stream\/dukeuniversityre00leon#page\/136\/mode\/1up\/http:\/\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10909\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2015\/06\/strawberry.jpg\" alt=\"Recipe for Strawberry Pie\" width=\"550\" height=\"322\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2015\/06\/strawberry.jpg 550w, https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2015\/06\/strawberry-300x176.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a>This is a pretty simple recipe. I started out with tons of strawberries and a store-bought crust (yesssss!). Half of the strawberries got sliced and dumped (or arranged prettily, if you prefer) into the baked crust, and the other half got mashed and cooked with the cornstarch and baking powder into what I like to fondly call the &#8220;strawberry goop.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I have a tremendous fear of burning things, so I may not have let the strawberry goop cook\u2014and thus thicken\u2014quite as long as I should have. I poured it into the pie, let the whole thing set in the refrigerator, and the result was a sort of sweetened strawberry soup, with bits of crust. Not terrible, but maybe not what you want to serve at your next dinner party. Or maybe it is?
