Unfortunately, com- munication is somewhat lim- ited since he lives three thou- sand miles across the Atlant- ic. In London, as Convener of the Reform Synagogues of Great Britain, he presides over "weddings, births and arguments." My admiration for this fine gentleman is shared by mil- lions of British radio listeners who, inspired by his witty Monday morning broadcasts, manage to get it all together to face another week. Rabbi Blue is also quite a cooking expert, much to his mother's puzzlement. "Why," she says, "if he has to be a rabbi, is he the only one to write a cook- ery column for a Christian paper"? (He is the cookery editor for The Catholic Universe and his recipes are all kosher). On a recent 48-hour trip to London, our conversation was limited to the telephone. Rab- bi Blue had just come out of the hospital following a car- diac bypass and admitted he did feel a bit weak. "However, I'm going to do my regular broadcst next week," he in- sisted. And he did — return- ing to a tumultuous welcome. "In a kitchen, you nourish your soul as well as the body," says Rabbi Blue. So, for my venerable friend and all of us who are watching our choles- terol count, here are some comfort dishes to aid in a speedy recovery and to keep the rest of us in good health. Note: Recipes serve 2 to 3 unless otherwise indicated. If you live alone, it's a good idea to make enough for 2 meals. Eat one and refrigerate or freeze the second. FRESH TOMATO BOUILLON 2 cups tomato juice 1 bay leaf, crushed 2 cloves 1/2 teaspoon fresh oregano, chopped, or 1/8 teaspoon dried 1/2 teaspoon fresh basil, chopped, or 1/8 teaspoon dried 1/8 teaspoon sugar 1 small tomato, coarsely chopped pepper to taste 1 teaspoon margarine 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or 1 teaspoon dried Pour tomato juice into a saucepan with crumbled bay leaf. Add cloves, oregano, basil and sugar. Cover and bring slowly to simmer over lowest heat. Stir in tomato and season to taste wih pepper. Pour into 2 bowls and dot with margarine. Sprinkle with parsley and serve. Makes 2 servings. Note: If a smooth broth is desired, do not add chopped tomato. Strain after heating and serve. BLUEBERRY AND STRAWBERRY SOUP 11/2 cups blueberries, washed 1 cup strawberries, washed and quartered 1/2 cup unsweetened apple juice Puke and grated rind of 1 small lemon 1 tablespoon honey or to taste In a small saucepan corn- bine 1 cup blueberries (save remainder for garnish), straw- berries, apple juice, lemon juice and grated rind and honey. Bring to boil, over high heat, stirring often. Remove from heat and refrigerate to cool. Whirl in blender and pour into a bowl. Adjust sweetness and stir in remain- ing blueberries. Serve chilled or reheat if desired. Serves 2. Gourmet Tip: May be topped with a spoonful of vanilla yogurt. Any white fish such as flounder, sole or halibut may be substituted for bluefish.
