Notes about Recipes in this book

• Red wine braised short ribs

  • eliza on January 17, 2017

    This recipe gives a delicious result without a lot of work. Can use lean stew beef instead of the short ribs if needed. There are also various excellent variations on the Fine Cooking website. Best beef recipe I’ve made thanks to Susie Middleton.

• Chicken paillards with avocado and pomegranate salsa

  • rivergait on July 17, 2014

    Mine not as pretty (more muddy-colored frozen pom arils), but really, really good. Jalapeno gives good bite; pom molasses sweet counterpoint. Made my own molasses from juice of last year's pom crop. One giant half-breast made 3 servings, which cooked in 5 minutes.

• Smoky rib-eye steaks with loaded mashed potatoes

  • kbrooks on May 16, 2025

    Rib eyes are my husband's favorite cut of steak and he loves this recipe. The creamy cheesy mashed potatoes make this a hearty meal. We like it with braised Swiss chard for a simple side.

• Sausage, cannellini and kale soup

    very good, easy & healthy. Serve with additional vinegar or hot sauce for individual tastes.
