Clams a La Campbell

"I honestly don't know where this recipe gets its name, but I do know that it is one of my absolute favorite hot appetizer dips. My Aunt Antoinette brought this to holiday gatherings when I was a kid, and I always looked forward to it. I finally was able to pry the recipe out of her (she does not give them up easily), and have been able to share this with friends and family myself."

  1. I cut the amount in half and made it todays lunch with a small salad. 3 of us wiped it out with no difficulty at all and we all agreed that it has to make a return performance :D. If you like clams this is a must try. It simple to make and I would have no hesitation in serving it to guests. I used garlic herb crackers to dip in. Made for ZWT 8.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I didn't start cooking until my early 20's, even though I come from a family of accomplished and admired home cooks. While I grew up watching my Italian grandmother in the kitchen, I remained uninterested in trying anything on my own. As a young lady, I was known for being particularly ignorant in the kitchen, with no idea how to even make a hot dog! All this changed, however, when I got engaged. I realized it was time to let my inherent talents out of the bag. At the time, the New York Times had a weekly column called The 60-Minute Gourmet by Pierre Franey. Each week, I would follow these recipes diligently, and taught myself to cook that way. From there, I began to read cookbooks and consult with relatives on family recipes. At my ripe old age now, I feel I know enough to put together a very pleasing meal and have become accomplished in my own right. Having an Irish father and an Italian mother, I'm glad I inherited the cooking gene (and the drinking one too!). One thing I have learned is that simpler is always better! I always believe cooking fills a need to nurture and show love. After being widowed fairly young and living alone with my dog and cats, I stopped cooking for awhile, since I really had no one to cook for. I made care packages for my grown son occasionally, and like to cook weekly for my boyfriend, so I feel like I am truly back in the saddle!!
