Notes about Recipes in this book

• Sweet, tart, and spicy shrimp and cucumber salad

  • hillsboroks on June 09, 2015

    The perfect salad for dinner on a hot summer night. I found this searching EYB for something to do with half a bag of frozen shrimp and half a head of green cabbage. Prep was quick and flavor great. Besides using shredded green cabbage instead of Napa cabbage the only other substitutions I made was to use Siriacha sauce instead of Sambal Olek and add salted cashews at the end in lieu of the peanuts. We will be making this again.

• Salmon "bulgogi" with bok choy and mushrooms

  • Zosia on February 12, 2021

    Quick and very flavourful dish - all it needed was some rice to make a complete meal. There wasn't enough marinade to pour off and reduce so I included it in the baking pan and just basted the salmon with it part way through cooking and again at the end. The soy was a little overpowering so if I were to make it again I would either reduce the amount or increase the amounts of the other marinade ingredients.

• Orzo with grilled shrimp, summer vegetables, and pesto vinaigrette

  • bktravels on April 26, 2020

    We've made this recipe many times and it's always delicious, especially with heirloom or garden tomatoes. Lovely on a hot summer day.

• Farfalle with chicken, tomatoes, caramelized onions, and goat cheese

  • Nancith on October 15, 2014

    Scrumptious! This even tastes good without the chicken. Instead of serving the pasta on the raw spinach as the recipe states, I stirred it into the sauce & let it cook & soften for 2 minutes or so.

    Recipe as written online is missing critical steps; when are you supposed to add the tomatoes, cooked chicken, fresh basil and marjoram? I winged it and figured to add after removing the onions from the saute pan and reducing the wine. The result was delicious but I just have to "ding" this one for being pretty much half a recipe where clearly steps were lost in online translation.
