FAT CAT recipes? We gotcher recipes.

Lately a lot of people have been asking me for recipes from FAT CAT. Some of the recipes in the book are ones I made up and experimented with, some are from other sources, including chef and cookbook author Colleen Patrick-Goudreau of www.compassionatecooks.com. I loved Colleen’s work so much, I asked her to do the author interview with me on the audio version of FAT CAT! I love our conversation there–if you get a chance to check out the audio book, you’re in for a treat.

Colleen recently appeared on the TV show View from the Bay, demonstrating a few of her recipes. I love them both–especially the Better Than Tuna concoction.

So for those of you wanting to venture into FAT CAT cooking territory, try these! (Note that Cat would not use a food processor–all mashing would be by hand.)

Enjoy!

    Where can I find Cat’s restaurant? My kitchen is available. Recipes are no good without someone to cook them for me.

  2. Elizabeth says:

    Thanks, Robin!!! That book made me sooo hungry!

  3. Patrick says:

    Are you going to cook some, Elizabeth? When should I arrive then?

  4. Elizabeth says:

    Patrick, you may arrive five years after I receive a full apology for the incident in which you kidapped me to a remote Moon Lab to extract from me the chocolate zucchini bread recipe which Robin had already posted on her blog. I am not overly bitter about the abduction itself (although that chair I was tied to was really uncomfortable and I wonder where you learned how to treat guests) but I am appalled by the carbon emissions and greenhouse gases produced by the aforementioned abduction which could have been saved if you would just have gone to Robin’s blog and looked up the recipe yourself. Go to the website. Cook your own food. Or save the carbon emissions and arrive at my place on foot.

    YEEOW! Elizabeth speaks! Take that, Patrick!

    Although, to be fair, so many people want that chocolate zucchini bread recipe (I’m not kidding–it’s one of the highest search items on my blog), it’s hard to blame Patrick for trying to extract it from you.

    But excellent point about the carbon emissions. Pack your knapsack and hoof it, P!

  6. Patrick says:

    You know, you kidnap someone to a remote moon lab one time and they never let it go.

    I have this problem where no one makes me these recipes and I am appalled that you think I should do it myself. You probably think I should tie my own shoes, too.

    *scribbling feverishly in research notebook* Subject “Patrick” has not noticed that I slipped the shoe-tying gnome fifty bucks and a chocolate zucchini muffin to tie his shoes together. Have set stopwatch to guage cognition and reaction times…

    SONS OF GROG-WALLS!!!

    Help! I’ve been immobilized! Medic! Medic!

  9. faith says:

    Oh Robin, your Marvelousness knows, no bounds. I agree with Patrick though, it is better when you have people to do all the cooking for you.

  10. Elizabeth says:

    If someone would pay me well enough and buy all of the ingrdients, I would become a private chef.

  11. robin says:

    Oh, Elizabeth, that is a seriously unfair temptation.

  12. Elizabeth says:

    Robin, you could pay me in books. I’d come and be your lackey.

  13. Patrick says:

    Let’s define “well enough”.
