Virginia Howard from Santa Rosa , Calif., was looking for a recipe for Bishops bread or cake. Several readers sent in their recipes for Bishops bread. There seemed to be two basic but different versions, one a rather simple and plain tea bread with a crumb topping, the other more involved and chock-full of fruit and nuts, almost like a fruit cake. I decided to test a recipe sent in by Holly Welch of Rohnert Park, Calif. I thought it was interesting because it used biscuit mix as the base and had lots of yummy-sounding ingredients. I substituted dried cherries for the candied ones her recipe called for because I had them in my pantry. The bread was marvelous; in all honesty it was really more of a cake in the shape of a tea bread. One important caveat, you must allow this bread to cool completely before trying to slice it. Even when it is cool it was still somewhat crumbly when sliced. As Welch points out, this bread tastes better when it is allowed to mellow for at least a day. It will keep well for several days tightly wrapped in the refrigerator.

It called for marinating the chicken pieces in lemon juice, garlic, lemon zest, paprika, parsley or cilantro, thyme and several other ingredients. She believes the recipe came from Women's World magazine. If you are looking for a hard-to-find recipe or can answer a request, write to Julie Rothman, Recipe Finder, The Baltimore Sun, 501 N.
