Notes about Recipes in this book

• Oven-barbecued Asian chicken

    Delicious. I realized I was out of hoisin sauce and had to make my own. We thought the homemade (prunes, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, soy sauce, and sesame oil) brought out the flavor of the remainder of the sauce ingredients (especially the minced ginger) better than bottled hoisin. The sauce was wonderful over the chicken, and went well with steamed rice and steamed broccoli accompaniments. I used legs with thighs attached. My chicken was baked 10 degrees beyond the temperature called for at 40 minutes in my oven. It tasted just right to us. Husband has asked me to repeat this. A keeper- especially with homemade hoisin.

• Garlic roasted salmon & Brussels sprouts

    I had high hopes for this one, but even though the roasting garlic aroma filled the kitchen with promise, this entree turned out just okay. It wasn't the most flavorful way to eat salmon despite the oil, wine,lemon and garlic drizzle. I added some diced Russett potatoes to the pan, which made for a complete meal. Probably won't repeat.
