Notes about this book

  • DKennedy on April 11, 2014

    The burrata salad is perfect as written.

  • DKennedy on May 17, 2013

    Our first Supper Club menu was pulled from the pages of this book. Page 89 - Braised green garbanzo beans, (not in index and wonderful). Page 33 - Cracked green olives - wonderful.

      Love this recipe.

  • Grilled squid / green garbanzos / bruschetta

    • DKennedy on July 13, 2020

      Julie picked up a bunch of green garbanzos from the SM farmer's market for me (since I can no longer go for myself). Unfortunately, the bundles are much smaller than they had been in the past, so I could only make a 1/2 recipe (the creamy part, no whole garbanzos on top). For the squid, substituted TJs frozen shrimp for squid. The shrimp came out mind blowingly good. I will be making my shrimp using this recipe from now on. Used fresh marjoram from our garden which really enhanced the flavor profile of this dish.
