Notes about Recipes in this book

• Mustard green soup

  • whitewoods on November 24, 2018

    Very good--even with canned chicken broth.

• Cabbage soup with juniper and pork

  • whitewoods on December 31, 2018

    They say this one is better after sitting in the refrigerator for a few days. So far I've only tasted it immediately after preparation. It was okay. I used a mixture of ham stock & chicken stock. This was my first exposure to juniper berries.

• Fish marinated in herbed olive oil

  • IowanCorn on June 18, 2026

    It was alright. I used Pollock rather than halibut, and then pan fried it after a soak overnight in the marinade. I don't think it did much for the flavor that just seasoning the dish as you cooked it would do.

• Grilled pork

  • IowanCorn on June 15, 2026

    The marinade makes this dish. It's easy and a quick marinade time - I started it before starting the charcoal, and 45 minutes later, put the chops on the grill. The chops turned out wonderfully full of flavor.

• Piperade

  • IowanCorn on June 17, 2026

    A quick, easy meal for brunch, with the peppers and onions taking center stage. I did use red onion instead of yellow, since that's what I had, but still, a good dish, all around.

• Mushrooms and rice

  • IowanCorn on April 30, 2026

    This turned out to be a very rich dish of rice. The mushroom flavor came through, but it reminded me of rice mixed with cream of mushroom soup, very 70's - 80's. This after I used half and half - I think, had I used full cream, it would have been way too rich. Don't hold back on the salt, it needed a good bit.
