Notes about Recipes in this book

• New England-style baked beans

  • lorloff on April 15, 2017

    Delicious dish took 6 hours to cook, started by boiling the beans for a hour and added the beans and their cooking liquor to the pot. Cooked at an average of 300 degrees higher at the end. They were delicious. Added 6 sprigs of thyme, 3 pay leaves, roasted garlic and 2 teaspoons of worsteshire to sauce to the recipie. They were a real hit.

    Did these in instapot for 2.5 hours. Added a bit of brown sugar at the end as well as bit more vinegar. My husband is a baked bean maniac and said they were delcious.

• Eggplant and yogurt dip (Borani-e bademjan)

  • radishseed on July 20, 2015

    This dip is delicious. The extra steps are worth the effort.

• Spiced chicken and tomato kebabs (Jujeh kabab)

  • twoyolks on June 14, 2012

    I successfully marinated this for approximately 10 hours without any issues. The recipe does not call specifically for any remaining marinade to be removed so I did not do so.

    The flavor of this marinade is delicious. The amount of saffron called for (two teaspoons) is crazy! So I used maybe 1/4 tsp- the saffron flavor still came through in the marinade, but you could easily skip it altogether.

• Iranian rice pilaf (Shirin polow)

  • twoyolks on March 29, 2012

    The garnishes didn't seem to add much to it.
