Notes about Recipes in this book

• Persian-style herb and cheese platter

  • mjes on April 27, 2018

    The ingredient list here is imprecise. What is requested is "cool mint (na'nah), sweet tarragon (tarkhoun), spicy pepper cress (shahee) and pungent leek-chive (tareh)," and/or cilantro. The cool mint and the leek-chive are specifically Persian herbs; not the easiest to find. Fortunately, a Persian friend pointed me to a source. The bread options are flatbreads, focaccia, lavash, or pita. I prefer to use pita or naan. I am picky about my feta usually settling on a French sheep feta. I love the optional halveh used here. This form of the herb plate I use as a snack plate alongside iced drinks. I've never used it as a portion of a meal as I do with the two herb plates from Naomi Duguid.

• Elegant borlotti bean and Swiss chard soup with red carrots and wild mushrooms

  • DKennedy on March 04, 2020

    Leftover homemade beans were my inspiration for making this recipe. The soup was a little boring.

• Romanesco with green olives and capers

  • Breadcrumbs on October 25, 2015

    p. 115 – I varied the prep slightly by roasting my romanesco but otherwise I prepared this dish as directed. What a treat! The tang of the capers and the lemon worked beautifully with the salty olives and the garlic just made everything taste all that much better. We love roasted romanesco and cauliflower as an antipasti and this recipe just elevates the dish. This would be wonderful for company as it’s just a little different with impressive flavours. So simple to prepare as well. Photo here: http://www.chowhound.com/post/cooking-fall-2015-show-meals-1025190?commentId=9751662

• Beans, greens, and pork stew

  • DKennedy on August 20, 2012

    This homey stew is the stuff of legends. I always keep some stowed away in my freezer for when guests come by unexpectedly.

• Grandmother Rachel's fresh apricot preserves

  • DKennedy on August 20, 2012

    Fantastic.
