    Fords / Bloomfield / they've gone to the Holloway House there
    for special occasions

    I don't remember him talking about that place here and I got curious
    so I looked them up. What a charming old place! And a solid old
    fashioned menu at reasonable prices. Their website states they
    closed down as the owners were retiring and nobody was willing to
    take over the place. It's a shame when unique, venerable old
    institutions with personality get ignored by the younger generation
    who prefer corporate chains with phony decor and trendy items.

    Ganondagan Olive Oil and Fire Roasted Corn Cake with Rhubarb Compote

    1 1/4 cups flour
    1/2 cup Roasted Corn Flour
    2 teaspoons baking powder
    1 teaspoon salt
    zest of one orange or one lemon
    1/2 cup vegetable oil
    2 eggs
    1 cup of sugar
    1/2 cup dry white wine (sub apple juice or cider)
    1/3 cup sugar
    1 1/2 qts. fresh rhubarb cut in 1" pieces
    1 cup frozen strawberries with their juice or
    1 1/2 cups fresh cut in half
    1 1/2 cups sugar
    1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
    juice of 1/2 a lemon

    This recipe was developed by Pamela Graham, pastry chef at the
    Holloway House Restaurant in Bloomfield, N.Y. It was designed to
    showcase the delicious possibilities of cooking with the Ganondagan
    White Corn Project's Fire Roasted White Corn Flour.

    It can be served with any seasonal fruit, warm with maple syrup at
    breakfast, or alone, as a rustic yet sweet ending to any meal.

    For the cake: oil an 8" round pan and line the bottom with
    parchment and oil the parchment. In one bowl stir together flours,
    baking powder, salt, and zest of orange or lemon. In a separate bowl
    whisk vegetable oil, eggs, 1 cup sugar, and dry white wine or juice.
    Add the wet to the dry and stir until just mixed, turn into prepared
    pan and sprinkle the top of the cake evenly with 1/3 cup sugar. Bake
    at 350 for 30-40 minutes or until the cake is golden and a tester
    tests clean. Cool on rack for 15 minutes. Remove from pan and remove
    parchment. Move to serving plate.

    For the compote: Place in saucepan fresh rhubarb, strawberries, 1
    1/2 cups sugar, vanilla and lemon juice. Cook until the rhubarb if
    soft and thickening but not mush! If it not thick enough for your
    taste you may thicken with a few drops of cornstarch mixed with
    water.

    To serve: Place wedges of cake on serving plates or bowls and top
    with the compote, garnish with whipped cream or ice cream. Best
    served slightly warm.

    Yes, my sister was saying that, too...

    Indeed. I suppose part of the problem might have been that Bloomfield,
    and the Holloway House, are a bit of a trek from Rochester... It takes
    me about 40 minutes to get to my sister's... One would have to want to
    go there badly enough to drive a ways, in most cases... it's a pretty
    small village, and not much around there... although the restaurant
    is/was on the main route through, Rt 20... But that also doesn't have
    the traffic it once had, now with the Thruway and all...
