"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

Ingredients:  
2 cup fine granulated sugar
1/2 cup water
½ teaspoon vinegar
4 egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tbls light corn syrup
Directions:
Directions:
Stir sugar, water, corn syrup and salt in medium saucepant, over medium heat until sugar is dissolved.
Boil together the sugar, water, and vinegar to 240°F (or until the syrup spins a long thread when it is dropped from the tip of a spoon into a glass of cold water). Note: Do not stir the sugar syrup while it is cooking. Stirring will make the syrup and frosting grainy.

Beat the egg whites until they are stiff. Gradually add the boiling syrup, beating constantly, until the frosting holds its shape. Add the vanilla extract.

This frosting makes enough to fill and frost two 8-inch cake layers.
To make a chocolate frosting, follow the directions above and add 1 1/2 squares of melted unsweetened chocolate with the vanilla.
