Notes about Recipes in this book

• Cauliflower soup

  • Sandiegolemons on January 24, 2018

    This is a great caulifower soup which I have no problem recommending. Cauliflower is turning into one of my most favorite and diverse vegetables. I wish my parents got more adventurous when I was a kid with it. 4 stars. I served it before Chicken and Vinegar from Harry’s Bar cookbook and the two paired perfectly together.

• Hunter's chicken

  • Sandiegolemons on June 01, 2017

    This recipe is not really worth the time. It is basically a one pot dish, but the time involved preparing it does not deliver the results you would assume. Unless you have an amazing beef/veal stock you need to use immediatly along with mushrooms, I'd say look elesewhere. A bit under two hours start to finish. No one in the family wanted to have this again.

• Chicken with vinegar sauce

  • Sandiegolemons on January 24, 2018

    This recipe was a hit at the dinner table. I’ve never had chicken with a vinegar sauce and I must say I will be looking for this more often or just getting this recipe in the rotation. Winter or summer. The slight acid works great. Watch the sauce so it doesn't totally evaporate off. The onions and celery and great and become infused with the dish. Loved it. 4 1/2 stars. I served it with Harry’s Bar Cauliflower Soup and the two paired perfectly together.

• Eggplant cooked like mushrooms

  • Sandiegolemons on June 01, 2017

    This was really fun and we paired it with sauteed scallops to go on top. Great combination. Next time I have a note in my book to try and peel the eggplant and see what happens. I think the kidos aren't used to the texture of the skin quite yet. I definitely recommend if you're wondering what to do with that eggplant that's been sitting in the fridge.

• Chocolate mousse

  • Foodelf on September 30, 2012

    This mousse recipe has been in my dessert repertoire for years - it never fails to garner rave reviews and is frequently requested by guests. It is embarrassingly easy to make. The ability to prepare well in advance is a boon for any dinner party hostess. Additionally, there's simple chocolate sauce to add at serving time, if you like.
