Notes about Recipes in this book

• Parsi deviled eggs

  • kari500 on October 23, 2019

    My favorite deviled eggs. If scared of heat can mince celery in place of jalapeno for the little crunch.

• Frozen margaritas

  • tamara_cjermb on April 05, 2026

    Very good!

• Cream of jalapeño soup

  • tamara_cjermb on April 05, 2026

    Wonderful! Very rich so serve 1 cup servings for first course.

• Peanut corn chowder

  • tamara_cjermb on April 05, 2026

    Very nice

• Fall fruit salad

  • Emily Hope on November 18, 2010

    I threw in some toasted hazelnuts since I didn't have any nut oil on hand. Good, perhaps not as distinctive as Suzanne Goin's similar salad, but easier to throw together on a weeknight.

• Marion Cunningham's buttermilk pancakes

  • tamara_cjermb on April 05, 2026

    Very good. Made waffles.

• Anne Rosenzweig's matzah brei

  • sgump on August 18, 2011

    Simplicity in itself--but utter comfort food. I typically do not remove the onions from the pan before adding the egg-and-matzo mixture. I also usually scale things down a bit (using olive oil instead of butter and using, for example, 1 diced onion, 1 whole egg plus 2 additional whites, and just 2 large matzo sheets). Finished with salt and pepper, the dish goes perfectly with a green salad, fresh fruit, and glass of wine.

• Breakfast cobbler with sausage, apples, onions and cheddar

  • Running_with_Wools on November 08, 2020

    This unusual breakfast cobbler is a family favorite. It has big chunks of onions, sausage and apples with a sort of corn bread batter with lots of cheddar cheese.

• Wheezers cheese pie

  • MollyB on August 02, 2022

    This was remarkably good for how easy it is, something like a cross between a quiche and a frittata (but with a very healthy dose of cheese). It was perfect for a weeknight when I didn't have much on hand but cheese and eggs. I loved that nothing had to be cooked on the stovetop or rolled out before baking - just chop onion, grate cheese, beat eggs - and bake!

• Southwestern black bean burgers

  • mooo42 on December 02, 2018

    Needs minced onion and garlic. Add more breadcrumbs.

• Chickpea burgers

  • mooo42 on December 02, 2018

    Longtime favorite. Omit rosemary. Add cucumber and radish to salsa. Leave out basil.

• Salmon in sweet red curry (Panang pla salmon)

  • mooo42 on December 02, 2018

    Way too much curry paste as is. Cut down to 2 TB

• Jerk chicken

  • mooo42 on December 02, 2018

    Must serve with Rice and Peas also in this book. Marinade is great on tofu too.

• Million-dollar chicken

  • aeader on April 06, 2021

    Very quick and easy weeknight meal, and also very tasty. I used boneless skinless thighs, medium-spicy salsa, and slivered almonds, skipped the currants. Our chicken was done after only 10 minutes of simmering. Definitely a repeat.

• The amazing five-hour roast duck

  • bching on October 26, 2015

    This recipe results in gloriously crispy duck skin. I'd advise planning on 4 hours in the oven, though. The full 5 hours can dry out the meat.

• Roasted cauliflower and red onions with rosemary

  • AgusiaH on October 12, 2014

    Tasty and fast.

  • Kringler on March 13, 2019

    Nice recipe. It does not need 40 minutes in the oven. Twenty to 25 minutes seemed right.
