   10. A vintage recipe request from a reader:   
      
   There are a few recipes that are still needed. Can anyone help?   
      
   1. "I had--and lost--a recipe a friend gave me in the early '70s. She called   
   it Chicken and Pilaf or Chicken and Rice Pilaf.  She got the recipe from her   
   mother who lived in the San Diego area.  She said she thought her mom got the   
   recipe from a magazine.  I remember a lot, but not enough.  You saut+¬ed rice   
   and broken vermicelli briefly; I seem to recall seasonings added to that   
   saut+¬.  The slightly browned rice and vermicelli then went into a casserole   
   dish and topped with raw chicken pieces (I used beasts). The recipe called for   
   cream of mushroom soup and (maybe) cream of chicken soup or cream of celery   
   soup.  Some of the soup was poured over the ingredients in the casserole which   
   was then baked.  The rest of the soup was cooked on stovetop with seasonings   
   and a bit of sherry.  The stovetop sauce was served on the side.  The sauce   
   was brownish, but I can't remember what gave it that deeper color. I hope one   
   of your readers can supply the recipe.  Thanks, all. Susan O."   
      
   2. "Back in the 70's I remember my mom baking a Bundt Cake that was dark   
   chocolate with a "tunnel" of white coconut in the middle. this was so good!  I   
   have not seen this type of cake mix in the stores for ages.  Does anyone know   
   if they're still available?  or does anyone have a similar scratch recipe I   
   could try?  Thank you for helping.  Laurie R from Michigan"   
      
   3. "Carrots, cauliflower, maybe potatoes? Maybe peas? Breaded topping ?  Joan

   As with collectibles, people also have very strong feelings about foods from   
   their past.  Sometimes these special recipes get lost. This section is to help   
   people who are looking for lost recipes from their past.  If you submit a   
   request, please include the geographical region where you tasted the recipe.   
      
   If you have a vintage recipe request send it to recipes@tias.com and we might   
   just publish it here.
