Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Ham and cheese bread

    • Cheri on May 26, 2011

      This was easy. R thought strange. I liked it. Flavors strong. Needs to cool COMPLETELY before slicing. Will try toasted tomorrow. Good sliced appetizer for wine tasting.

  • Crab salad with lime and avocado

    • Cheri on May 29, 2011

      This is very light and refreshing. Served over mixed baby greens (which I dressed lightly with the dressing for the recipe). Good - notes of citrus, but not strong, pretty clean flavors.

  • Creamy lemon-chive dressing

    • Cheri on May 29, 2011

      This is good with crab/lime salad. Very light. Use plenty of chives & zest!

  • Buttermilk-lemon zest dressing

    • krue on June 08, 2011

      needs some kind of fat to adhere to anything. I added a bit of mayonnaise - good addition.

  • Rare-roasted beef with rosemary, mint, and tarragon

    • Cheri on February 07, 2012

      This is a good quick weeknight small roast. Salt 24 hours ahead of time to tenderize this inexpensive cut. Sear off in pan, then place skillet in oven and roast at 375 deg, but watch as internal temp can rise quickly. Critical to slice very thinly. Basil/herb oil is a must as dressing. Served with mashed yukon gold potatoes and steamed broccoli.

  • Basil oil

    • Cheri on February 07, 2012

      Also added some Italian parsley. This was very good over thin slices of roast beef. Can see infinite possibilities for this over fish, chicken, etc.

  • My Cobb salad: iceberg, tomato, avocado, bacon, and blue cheese

    • adrienneyoung on March 08, 2013

      This is reliably terrific.just to try, I chucked a big prosciutto crisp on top of each plate this time (prosciutto slices dried out in a 350 oven, on a silpat, for 15 minutes, then cooled on a rack), and it looked spiffier than usual, I thought.
