Notes about Recipes in this book

• Whiskey sour

  • twoyolks on November 16, 2016

    This was really sour. Too sour to drink.

• Tender cheese crackers

  • twoyolks on December 07, 2015

    These have good parmesan flavor but didn't really crisp up well for me. It also uses quite a bit of parmesan (6 oz.).

• Steamed spinach

  • twoyolks on January 27, 2014

    This resulted in a lot more cooked spinach than 2 people could easily eat. Also, 4 tbsp of butter is too much for this much spinach (it just pooled at the bottom of the bowl).

• "Fresh" pea soup

  • twoyolks on February 10, 2014

    The flavor was a bit one-note and seemed as if it was missing an ingredient.

• Fried rice

  • twoyolks on May 15, 2016

    This is simple and mostly tastes that way but it grew on me the more I ate it. I made it with the optional chile-garlic sauce and it added just enough heat and complex flavor.

• Fried fish

  • rpepper on March 20, 2018

    Simple and really good.

  • Jardimc on July 29, 2022

    This fish turned out very well, and was simple to prepare. I did not make the tartare sauce, and instead used a Chile de Arbol sauce I had leftover from tacos. Very good. On the other hand, the quantities of flour, baking powder and milk were entirely too much, and therefore very wasteful. That was annoying at any time for our planet, and especially during the crazy price inflation currently. Half of the listed quantities would be more than plentiful to coat the fish. A shame.

• Roasted chicken wings

  • twoyolks on November 16, 2016

    I marinated these for an hour before baking. The only flavor on the chicken wings was lemon which overpowered everything. There was so much lemon that it reminded me of eating lemon soaked sea food.
