Notes about Recipes in this book

• Wilted escarole with hazelnuts

  • bellatavia on October 13, 2013

    Easy and delicious! It ocmes together exactly as the recipe says. I would use a little less lemon juice than that of a full lemon, but this tangy side dish really wakes up a plate!

• Chicken cheddar melts

  • kateiscoooking on July 02, 2024

    made this without the apples. used tomatoes and lettuce instead. fabulous!!!

• Pasta with corn and kale

  • nicolepellegrini on May 16, 2019

    Cut recipe in half because otherwise it makes a LOT. Good and fresh tasting, quite light as well.

• Grilled spice-rubbed shrimp "Niçoise" salad

  • GiselleMarie on July 10, 2021

    Excellent recipe, although somewhat time consuming. The dressing is outstanding but it makes a lot, even for me. Instead of grilling the shrimp and vegetables, I roasted them in the oven. I do want to grill next time because it’s probably better but my husband and I really liked this! Next time, I’ll use 12-16 oz. of beans, 1 1/2 lb. potatoes, 12-16 oz. tomatoes, and 1.5 lb. of shrimp.

• Peach-plum cobbler with buttermilk biscuits

  • GiselleMarie on August 18, 2021

    Very good! I made this late at night when I was tired, so I didn’t peel the peaches. It still came out great! I didn’t have fresh ginger so I used 1/4 teaspoon powdered ginger. If you want a pronounced ginger taste, use more. Instead of rolling and cutting the biscuits, I dropped the biscuit dough in mounds on top of the fruit. I had to bake it longer than directed in the recipe, and I should have left it in the oven long enough for the biscuits to reach a deeper brown color. This is easy and delicious!
