Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Fried green tomatoes

    • Rinshin on July 18, 2018

      Basic but easy to follow and tasty fried green tomato recipe. I served these with Marcella Hazan's tomato sauce on the side.

  • Smashed potatoes

    • Rinshin on October 15, 2019

      Excellent potato dish with decadent taste coming from cream cheese and butter. Used larger than specified red potatoes but with longer boiling time it was fine. I plan to double this next time so that there is enough leftover for making Japanese korroke potato base. Bay leaf added to the taste nicely.

  • Roasted butternut squash with browned butter and hazelnuts

    • Analyze on June 12, 2017

      This is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good!!! The sweet, caramelized squash, the browned butter, the hazelnuts...yes, pretty much everything that's obvious from the description. It's so rich and flavorful, and the flavors themselves I'd never had together with butternut squash. If it sounds good to you, make it!!! :) We also loved the Roasted Butternut Squash with Goat Cheese, Pecans, and Maple, Roasted Butternut Squash with Radicchio and Parmesan, and Roasted Butternut Squash with Shallots and Thyme from the same set....and I'm excited that there are 2 more as well to try!

  • Asparagus gratin

    • Analyze on March 25, 2017

      This is delicious! It's pretty rich, but just so, and very cheesy-delicious. It was originally published in Cook's Country April/May 2011. I've made it twice, and it was a big hit both times. I would recommend trimming your asparagus in the traditional way (bending till they snap), as the instructions here to "trim 1 1/2 inches from stem end of asparagus and reserve ends" left me with a few inedible woody pieces. Anyway, this is a delicious asparagus recipe if you like cheese!
