Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Better than better cheddar

    • Cheri on October 23, 2011

      Ok, this has good flavor, but looks WEIRD. Lots of comments about it being a good "creepy" looking "halloween" dish -which would be ok, IF it was Halloween... Served for Oktoberfest, with dark nutty crackers (Mary's Gone Crackers) - which it needs to hold up. Good with beer. I made the "mayo" - which turned out very thin in the food processor, added the green onions, and grated cheese into processor, then mixed with a spoon. Next time, I would re-insert the regular blade and process whole mixture for a more cheese like spread. Mustards and white cheeses combo give a bit of an off putting color. Maybe adding a little cream cheese would also help to make more spreadable.

  • Spring potato salad

    • TrishaCP on August 11, 2012

      I don't like mayonnaise-based potato salads that much, which is why this appealed. The potatoes were dressed with an olive oil/garlic/Creole mustard vinaigrette, and then lightened further by a combination of herbs. I used chives, thyme and chervil, and this combination was great. The recipe also suggests using basil, which I think would work really well with the flavors of the vinaigrette.

  • Chicken baked royally

    • TrishaCP on February 04, 2013

      This was fine-I really enjoyed the mushrooms in this but not so much the artichoke. However, if you have Essential Pepin, I would choose the Chicken in Tarragon sauce recipe instead- it has a very similar flavor profile but a superior taste.
