Notes about Recipes in this book

• Orzo salad with cucumber, tomato, basil & feta

  • hillsboroks on July 23, 2022

    This is one of the best orzo salads I’ve found. The vegetables, olives and feta compliment each other perfectly but the real surprise flavor boost comes from the toasted walnuts. Not only do they add flavor but also a lovely bit of crunch. The lemon vinaigrette is perfect. This salad also held up very well overnight and was just as good the second day.

• Spicy tomato sauce

    Nicely balanced sauce. Quick, easy, and flavorful. I used one cup of canned tomatoes instead of six fresh romas, and skipped the cilantro because I didn't have any on hand. Perks up an egg and toast quite nicely even if you don't want to make the somewhat elaborate, but surely delicious, egg sandwich in this book.

• Squash harvest loaf

    Wonderful flavor and texture. I'll reduce the sugar a little bit next time, but this is close to perfect. I used a mix of white and whole wheat flours (2:1) and reduced the cinnamon/upped the nutmeg as per my usual preferences. Baking time was perfect -- tented the loaf during the last 30 minutes. I'll try this with the roasted squash eventually, but it was plenty delicious with canned pumpkin this time around.
