Move over, Emeril and meet Clara, who makes magic with lentils and rice, steak as thin as paper, a simple salad and some bread. Welcome to Great Depression Cooking with Clara. She’s an Italian lady from New York who used to work for Hostess filling Twinkies. There’s a job for you. She tells us what’s REALLY important, a living reminder of a lousy time in America. And though she makes no mention of a nice Cabernet to go with her feast, I’ll bet it was pretty damned tasty without it. Maybe we need to take some good notes here.

She is my hero …

Cheers/George
