Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Broiled grapefruit

    • Baxter850 on July 24, 2020

      Dry the grapefruit tops next time; couldn’t get the bruleed crust because of the juice.

  • Red beans and rice

    • Baxter850 on April 15, 2020

      Turned out great but had to cook for an extra hour and add a ton of salt. Needs 1 tsp of cayenne. Cut the veggies in a fine dice next time and maybe add the andouille at the end.

  • Seafood jambalaya

    • MmeFleiss on February 29, 2020

      This was delicious but also makes a ridiculous amount of rice. I would make a half recipe next time.

  • Boiled rice

    • Baxter850 on April 15, 2020

      Not worth the extra effort. Was a touch al dente.
