Notes about Recipes in this book

• Skillet chicken pot pie with biscuit topping

  • Kouture007 on December 20, 2011

    Kevin liked it

• Turkey gravy

  • Kouture007 on January 13, 2013

    Can be made ahead.

• Thick-cut tenderloin medallions

  • Kouture007 on December 20, 2011

    Bacon-wrapped version is fabulous.

• Creamy chipotle chile sauce

  • Acarroll on January 27, 2024

    I was looking for a way to use leftover chipotles in adobo and this was perfect. I didn't have sour cream so I doubled the amount of (vegan) mayo. I also doubled the amount of chipotle, garlic, and cilantro. Was perfect served with crab cakes.

• Oven-fried onion rings

  • jumali on September 22, 2011

    A bit time consuming, but tastes very good.

• Pasta with creamy tomato sauce

  • Acarroll on December 24, 2023

    Omitted the cream because we served this with a rich mushroom/cheese/truffle ravioli. The flavors in the sauce itself were divine.

• Potstickers with scallion dipping sauce

  • love2laf on February 10, 2010

    Excellent flavour and cooking method for the wontons. I still find my patience worn thin by making so many little nibblies. The dipping sauce was only average though.

• Thai pork lettuce wraps

  • love2laf on February 03, 2010

    One of the few recipes I can't think to make an improvement on. After one bite, I stopped caring about the messiness of serving this way, and just dug in.I did not use pork tender loin though, I used pork shoulder, and I used my grinder instead of the food processor.

• Hot and sour soup

  • djoh437938 on July 11, 2011

    this recipe is so good, had to go to a japanese market to find it, it is worth it, totally.

• Stir-fried beef and broccoli with oyster sauce

  • Kouture007 on January 13, 2013

    Everyone's favorite.

• Stir-fried portobellos with ginger-oyster sauce

  • jumali on September 22, 2011

    Tastes good but not worth the mountain of prep work and cleanup.

• Grilled stuffed flank steak for a charcoal grill

  • Analyze on March 31, 2017

    This is SO good! I LOVE the spinach and pine nuts variation (using Asiago cheese, which Kenji mentioned in the recipe's article but didn't reflect in the recipe), and my husband loves the original version with Provolone and Prosciutto. It is easy to make both versions in the same roll, because the herb rub is the same. It is so delicious with the cheese. We used the BelGioioso sharp aged provolone for this one, which has an entirely different flavor (much stronger) than supermarket young provolone. These also re-heat well and don't get dry!

• Big and chewy oatmeal-raisin cookies

  • sarahkalsbeek on January 22, 2019

    Made this with mixed dried fruit instead of raisins. Texture was perfect, but as the recipe hints, it's very sweet. Decreasing the sugar would compromise the perfect texture. Still, very delicious overall.

• Applesauce snack cake

  • Analyze on March 12, 2019

    This is SO good! The base cake has a wonderful apple flavor and a great texture. I tried both this recipe, and the Oat-Nut Streusel variation. My husband, who doesn't normally like oat streusel or sweet quick breads, loved the streusel variation. I actually preferred this original version with the cinnamon-sugar topping, as in my opinion it complements the apple flavor in the cake better, and actually makes the cake taste more apple-y. You can't go wrong with either version, or try half and half like I did :) I already have several apple cake recipes that I love, and didn't think I needed another, but I did! I'm excited to try the ginger-cardamom version next. Personally, we had it for breakfast, but this would be great with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream too.

• Blueberry cobbler

  • jumali on July 26, 2010

    An excellent recipe! The blueberries were the perfect consistency--neither too runny nor too thick, and the cornmeal added a great texture to the biscuit. I'll definitely make this again.

• Indoor pulled pork with sweet and tangy barbecue sauce

  • kbrooks on July 21, 2024

    This is terrific. I make it exactly as written with the Sweet and Tangy Barbecue Sauce. Haven't tried the other 2 sauces.

• Italian vegetable stew (Ciambotta)

  • ecasey830 on October 06, 2019

    Labor-intensive but worth it

• Cranberry chutney with apples and crystallized ginger

  • bwhip on November 29, 2019

    I made this for the first time a few years ago, because it sounded interesting. Since then I’ve needed to make it every Thanksgiving. Easy, delicious, interesting, and the perfect complement to our turkey (or the capon we had this year).
