Notes about Recipes in this book

• Tart cherry chocolate chunk oatmeal cookies

  • ssimm411 on June 15, 2014

    Excellent recipe - my new go to cookie!

• Salade verte

  • ssimm411 on June 15, 2014

    You will have a lot of dressing leftover. Plan to make a pasta and vegetable salad to use the leftovers.

• Alex's vegetable chili

  • ssimm411 on June 15, 2014

    This is excellent! Plan something to do with your extra butternut - you will have a lot leftover when you cut your squash up.

• Spicy marinated feta

  • ssimm411 on June 15, 2014

    Lauren LOVED this. I crumbled the feta and mixed all ingredients in a glass bowl instead of serving like a brick. The Sotto Voce oil is worth the expense to order.

• Berbere chickpea and carrot tagine

  • ssimm411 on June 15, 2014

    We used 3 tablespoons of Berbere. Don't do that again! WAY TOO HOT LOL!

• Mediterranean pasta salad with seven-grain orzo

  • ssimm411 on June 15, 2014

    The orzo from Pappardelle's was worth ordering.

• Za'atar-crusted chicken with harissa-yogurt sauce

  • ssimm411 on June 15, 2014

    The chicken was easy and good but the harissa-yogurt was ugly (looks like pink slime) and so-so tasting. We wondered if the taste was due to using nonfat yogurt.

• 5 second rule

  I've cooked dozens of Jess's recipes over the years, and I can vouch for her skills; she's a true pro who knows how to devise flavorful dishes that satisfy every time.
