Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Chicken Grand-mere Francine

    • Running_with_Wools on October 21, 2023

      Absolutely delicious. Savory, tender, comforting and complete meal. Something classic and slightly different from a coq au vin. Wonderful with a fresh green salad for an autumnal family meal.

  • Short ribs braised in red wine

    • EdM on April 17, 2021

      This is the Epicurious recipe, with good recommendations for combining with starch/vegs.

  • Hanger steak with shallots

    • EdM on June 09, 2018

      Not sure direction to rinse and dry sliced shallots is necessary, but it's easy. Cut hanger steak in uniform thickness pieces, and adjust cooking time as needed - plus or minus a minute or two - for each cut. Add steak jus from warming plate back into shallot-wine sauce.

  • Celery duo

    • Lee on April 05, 2015

      This has become my standard way of making mashed potatoes. It's delicious and I always am asked for the recipe. I have to say I don't usually make the braised celery part of this recipe, just the puree. Also, the milk-water cooking liquid makes an outstanding base for a fish chowder.

    • EdM on April 17, 2021

      Roots mash very easy, make sure to dry (warm oven) before pureeing. Celery (duo) challenge is cutting bottom off while keeping stalks attached. Fabulous accompaniment to Boulud's short ribs braised in red wine - puree and stalks light complements to rich ribs and sauce.

  • Lobster with sweet corn polenta

    • Lee on June 15, 2014

      The polenta was good. The lobster was ok.

  • Cranberry bean and kale stew

    • jayejoyce on August 26, 2017

      Can substitute prepared/canned canellini beans or pinto beans for the cranberry beans.

  • Oven-roasted vegetable casserole

    • metacritic on January 06, 2022

      This is a fabulous recipe that lets vegetables shine in late fall/winter months. The coriander seeds adds a subtle lemon to the roasted root vegetables. Fresh lemon juice and parmesan adds rounded flavors - both body and brightness. The basil and olives bring out new dimensions of root vegetables. This can play a starring role at a dinner party, even when hosting avowed carnivores.
