Notes about Recipes in this book

• Vodka-spiked cherry tomatoes with pepper-salt

  • mooo42 on December 09, 2018

    Sooo much work.

    They are a bit fiddly, but took less time than the roasted red peppers that were part of the same dinner. They're always a huge hit, both because of how delicious they are and because of the concept of peeled tomatoes. Made for Millie

• Garlicky sun-dried tomato spread

  • amoule on August 15, 2014

    I thought this was delicious but, to be honest, on a crowded table of potluck appetizers it was left almost untouched. The leftovers will be great on fish fillets or chicken breasts.

• Sesame-orange granola

  • Couture911 on September 20, 2010

    After years of making the granola from "Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone" I tried making this. This is now my favorite and I make it at least once a year.

• Lemon-raisin breakfast bars

  • amoule on September 29, 2015

    I made these substituting dried peaches for the raisins. They were delicious.

• Double-boiler scrambled eggs

  • Ahujam on February 26, 2023

    Made eggs this way from now on! Fluffy and delicious.

• Sow's ear baked apple pancake

  • stepharama1 on November 13, 2022

    This is a great recipe for a relatively easy brunch dish. I've been making this for years and everybody loves it. It's not too sweet and yummy from the caramelized apples.

  • MollyB on January 14, 2024

    Loved this recipe! Pretty easy and not too sweet. A blender worked well for the batter.

  • jhallen on January 29, 2025

    This was good and puffed up in a cool way. For me, it was a bit too buttery and definitely don’t need 3 T of powdered sugar. 1 was more than enough.

• Pasta with born-again zucchini and pesto

  • MollyB on February 25, 2023

    This was pretty good and easy, but not great. I used store-bought pesto, and I think it would have been a lot better with home made pesto

• Blue plate meat loaf

  • MollyB on March 11, 2018

    Great classic meatloaf recipe. Fairly easy without a lot of fussy chopping. I like it best with a country-style sausage (i.e. with no fennel).

  • jhallen on October 19, 2022

    This is my “go to” meatloaf recipe. It never fails and is easy to put together. Can’t go wrong.

• Whipped root vegetables

  • jhallen on January 29, 2025

    This is very good - I made it years ago when this collection first came out and just revisited it. Really good way to use up turnips which I otherwise don’t generally love!

• Real simple lemonade

  • trudys_person on August 03, 2014

    Interesting technique - blending lemons and sugar together then straining. Works well. Definitely start with the lower amount of sugar.
