Beef Stroganoff is a 19th century recipe of a much older Russian recipe. It comes from the family of Count Pavel Stroganoff . He was a known gourmet and he refined the recipe to be served at the court of Alexander the Third. Count Pavel Stroganoff is credited with the creation of the base recipe ,but a version similar to his appeared in the 1871 issue of Molokhovets cookbook. Still Count Stroganoff made the dish popular, and variations on the dish are still being introduced today. This recipe was that of a busy Hoosier housewife , who wanted an alternative to pre packaged meals from the helping hand.

    Hoosier Sweet Corn and Rhubarb Custard Pie




    Sweet Slow Indiana Summers Remembered In A Hoosier Pie

    Nothing brings back memories of summer at my grandmothers then sweetcorn and rhubarb. I used to eat stewed rhubarb fresh out of the garden with a teaspoon of sugar for a treat. Nothing says Indiana summer in a pie than combining the sweetness of Hoosier sweet corn and the tart of garden rhubarb.
