Notes about Recipes in this book

• Soba salad with carrot and zucchini

  • mharriman on February 15, 2021

    Tasty and Simple to put together, especially if you cut the soba noodles in half, making them easier to toss with the carrots, zucchini, and scallions. I halved all the ingredients for two people and there was a still shallow pool of dressing at the bottom of the salad bowl. Was a nice side dish for soy- mustard glazed salmon. Salad would work even better during hot summer months.

• Grilled monster pork chops with tomatillo and green apple sauce

  • babyfork on October 01, 2015

    I'm rating just the sauce. I served it with grilled pork tenderloin that just had a salt & black pepper rub. The sauce was definitely something different and nice if you're looking for something fresh with a southwestern flair. It had a nice mild heat and unique flavor that does go well with pork. Also a very healthy sauce. A do ahead tip I used was to make the tomatillo sauce the night before and then add the apples an hour or so before serving. My Epicurious review posted on April 18, 2005

• Tuna pasta salad

  • Rutabaga on June 03, 2019

    This salad also appears in the Gourmet Today cookbook, with the addition of cherry tomatoes. It's well worth adding the cherry tomatoes, as it adds good texture and flavor to the salad. With good quality tuna, it's a delicious base on which to improvise.
