Notes about Recipes in this book

• Chocolate-orange brownies

  • hillsboroks on September 23, 2023

    The chocolate orange flavor was a real winner at my house. I only had enough orange to yield half of the peel called for so I also added a little bit less than 1/4 teaspoon of orange oil and it worked. This brownie was quite light and cakes, almost not a brownie. I think I will go back to my favorite brownie recipe and add the orange zest.

    The flavor of these brownies is fantastic but the texture isn’t so great. This is more like a one layer cake than a pan of brownies. I have decided to give the flavoring a try with my favorite brownie recipe next time.

• Asian shrimp, pineapple, and peanut salad

    This looked beautiful and was a great addition to an Asian supper. Lovely flavor combination.

• Eggplant Parmesan rolls with Swiss chard and fresh mint

  • nicolepellegrini on July 17, 2015

    An interesting, lighter twist on eggplant parmesan. I liked the idea of broiling the eggplant slices instead of frying them. Not sure I'd make again, however, as I found the flavor combination of swiss chard and mint a little odd. It was also a lot of work to assemble and cook that I wasn't sure really paid off.

• Homemade pappardelle with Bolognese sauce

  • aeader on December 30, 2022

    Made half the recipe using 1lb ground beef, 1/2lb hot italian sausage, and 1lb ground venison. Used M. Hazan's method of simmering with the milk until the mixture is almost dry before adding the wine and tomatoes. I used a 15 oz can of diced tomatoes with juice. It was delicious, will definitely repeat.

• Homemade coffee-flavored liqueur

    This tastes just like the real thing! I packaged it up and gave it as gifts.
