Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Creamy homemade ricotta

    • Thredbende on April 24, 2013

      This is a wonderful recipe! I loved it fresh and with a smear of good jam as a desert. Fabulous with the Manicotti.

  • Orange-scented chocolate chunk scones

    • Summerlandsky on September 09, 2014

      This is a lovely little whole wheat scone recipe, and I've made it several times. I use a nice bittersweet chocolate chip instead of chopping a bar. It also freezes very well. I usually double the batch, divide the dough in two, and then each half into 8 wedges to make mini scones the perfect size for a coffee break. You then freeze the dough wedges. I use the Cooks Illustrated method of baking frozen scone dough of decreasing temp and increasing time. So just top frozen scone dough with buttermilk or cream, sprinkle with raw sugar, and pop into the oven without thawing first. For this one it was 375 at 20 mins.

  • Lemon blueberry muffins

    • swegener on March 03, 2015

      I sub'ed soy milk and apple cider vinegar and coconut oil, and they turned out moist and delicious.

  • Lentil ricotta "meatballs"

    • Varundel on March 30, 2015

      These were delicious - lovely creamy texture inside and a rich tomato sauce. Served with garlicky flatbreads from Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall's Veg book. Happily eaten up by my carnivorous partner!

  • Naturally low-fat mayonnaise

    • swegener on January 17, 2015

      Did not work for me, but I combined the yolk mayo with the white only mayo and that worked, so no waste!

    While this book is tilted toward beginning cooks, there is plenty here to appeal to those more experienced in the kitchen. I wish that this book had a little more depth...but that's a minor quibble...

Publishers Text

With its delectable recipes and charming girl-next-door tone, Homemade With Love is sure to be a welcome addition to the kitchens of longtime readers of the blog, In Jennie's Kitchen. Jennifer Perillo has long written on the pleasures and importance of cooking from scratch, buying local, and eating at home. Jennie shares her love for her farmers' markets and local purveyors while dishing out a hearty dose of practical culinary know-how for the working parent--or any busy cook.

Jennie has been writing online since 2006, and developing recipes for more than 15 years, even after the sudden death of her young husband, Mikey, in 2011. Gathering her family together around the table was her recipe for healing; though many things about her life have changed, her commitment to eating for nourishment--physical and spiritual--has not. A seasoned recipe developer and personal chef, Jennie has crafted shortcuts (like two homemade all-purpose baking mixes, used as a base for baked goods such as breads, muffins, and cupcakes) to make good eating just a little easier. Try recipes like Orange-Scented Waffles, Carrot Fennel Soup, Lentil Ricotta Meatballs, Drop Biscuit Chicken Pot Pie, Strawberry Blender Sherbet, and Lemon Buttermilk Doughnuts. Simple, soulful recipes for every meal of the day emphasize farm-fresh produce and whole foods. Jennie's distinctive voice is an evangelist for eating close to home, lingering around the table.
