Notes about Recipes in this book

• Spring minestrone with chicken meatballs

  • terri_fg3zp6 on April 01, 2026

    One of our favorites

• The silkiest carbonara

  • excurvatus on August 05, 2019

    as far as i'm concerned this is *the* carbonara. it uses a lot of eggs, which makes it not as budget friendly. i use a lot of bacon instead of the guanciale.

• The smoothest flan

    The flan did not set for me.

    Finally cooked these for myself - it is a wonderful recipe. Incredibly easy and a wonderfully smooth mouthfeel. Be careful not to take the caramel too far - I was anxious to get it dark enough because Andi's was a bit too light, but you want it to be kinda medium. Also, I had to cook these longer than the time it said to cook them - perhaps almost 25 extra minutes - until I felt confident they were set. They came out perfectly.

• Garlic, oregano, and lemon vinaigrette

  • aeader on July 26, 2014

    One of the best salad dressings I've made. Substituted anchovy paste for the anchovies. Would also be great on chicken or shrimp.

• Miso, carrot, and sesame dressing

  • clcorbi on October 09, 2017

    Easy, tasty dressing. I mixed it in a food processor since I didn't think shaking it to mix would incorporate the miso well enough.

• Buttermilk green goddess dressing

  • twoyolks on June 13, 2021

    Nice enough but there wasn't a lot of herb flavor.
