Fusion Search at Chef2Chef.net 

The broad scope of the major search engines can quickly become a nightmare when you have to sift through hundreds of pages and links to find a culinary book, kitchen utensil, foodservice supplies or information on these subjects.

A plethora of unrelated results, links to more links, computer crashing popups and misleading title tags causes 71 percent of the Internet users to feel a search rage at some point. How long is too long before the web drives you crazy? Apparently, 12 minutes, according to a survey at WebTop.com.

Our new fusion search bar lets you easily center your search around the culinary, kitchen and foodservice topics.  While not perfect  every time, finding a specific item or piece of information is no longer a daunting task.

Here are the categories in our fusion search bar:

C2C Kitchen Store: 640,000 culinary products indexed.
C2C Book Store: 60,000 culinary books indexed.
C2C Recipe Search: 280,000 recipes indexed.

On October 5, 2005, restaurants from across the country will band together in a "Dine for America" day, a national fundraising effort to support the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund and help those affected by Hurricane Katrina and their families.

Operators can donate all or part of their sales or proceeds on October 5th, make a donation for each sale of a specific item, or provide donation canisters for guests to contribute. One hundred percent of the funds raised will go to the hurricane victims and their families via the Red Cross.

Today's Recipe: Mom’s Sour Cream Cake

My mother loved to bake, and continued to serve delectable cakes, pies and cookies to my Dad and their family and friends until she was about 90. This cake was almost everyone’s favorite coffee cake that she made. It never lasted very long. Some of us even stuck candles in it for a birthday cake.

Makes one (small) 10-inch tube pan

Ingredients:

1 stick unsalted butter (8 tablespoons)
1 cup granulated cane sugar
Pinch of sea salt
2 large eggs
1 cup sour cream (buttermilk)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 full cups unbleached all-purpose flour

Filling and Topping:

3 tablespoons granulated cane sugar
2 tablespoons ground sweet chocolate
1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a small 10-inch tube pan.

Mix above cake ingredients. Pour half the mixture into the prepared pan. Sprinkle half the Filling and Topping mixture on the batter. Pour remaining batter over the sprinkles. Top with the remaining crunchies.

Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Cake is done when tester comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto cooling rack. Serve with the crumbed side up.
