Notes about Recipes in this book

• Cherry tomato pizza Margherita

  • breakthroughc on September 10, 2024

    This is the best Margherita pizza I have ever eaten. I used my own favorite homemade dough and sun golds from the garden. I doubled the fennel seed, garlic and red pepper flakes based on the reviews on Epicurious. The photo is misleading and badly stylized. The basil is mixed with the cheese and is not fresh on top and my tomatoes were much jammier and covered more of the cheese. My cheese also was more melted and browned a little. Really good pizza, terrible photo.

• Avocado tomato salad

    I used a mixture of lemon and lime juice for the dressing and it was very good. This is a simple side dish that seems kind of special.

• Lasagna with asparagus, leeks, and morels

  • kateiscoooking on May 18, 2020

    WOW! I was looking for a recipe that didn't bury the incredible flavor of the morels. This was perfect! I only made it two layer and will do that the next time too. More crispy, crunchy and cheesy to doughy. I used the full complement of veggies and half the lasagna and half the sauce. Three nice servings. We readily gave this a five out of five!

• New York-style crumb cake

  • psarrett on February 11, 2024

    The best crumb cake recipe I've tried, and I've tried quite a few. Consistently good results with plenty of crumb (which, of course, is the best part). Be sure not to overbake, as that will make the crumb hard rather than tender and firm-- check it at 45 minutes, not 1 hour.
