Notes about Recipes in this book

• Dijon-rosemary chicken thighs with maple-glazed pumpkin

  • yoganut23 on September 08, 2021

    Quick and easy, perfect for a late Summer or Fall meal. I like to make a pan of this and freeze leftovers for future lunches. I vary the type of squash as pumpkin isn't always in season

• Chicken tikka masala with roasted cauliflower & red onion

  • angrygreycat on November 07, 2018

    I've made this a few times. Super easy one tray meal. Tasty with Indian inspired seasonings.

• Mexican stuffed peppers with chipotle sweet potatoes

  • Larkspur on February 22, 2023

    I cooked the peppers and sweet potatoes on separate pans. Tasty.

• Vietnamese turkey meatball & hoisin eggplant banh mi

  • yoganut23 on September 08, 2021

    The winning part of this was the eggplant! I've also made it with shaved zucchini slices that turned out okay (eggplant has a better texture and absorption of the hoisin sauce). The rest of the recipe I would make lots of modifications. I tend to make my own pickles for Vietnamese foods in advance (Andrea Nguyen has some great recipes). Although this had a quick pickle included I found my favorite pickles were preferred - along with including lots of fresh herbs. The turkey meatball was easy to make but came out dry - we were wowed by the eggplant...

• Pork & green chile empanadas with broccoli rabe

  • yoganut23 on September 08, 2021

    Very tasty but a lot of meat. In my next attempt I may consider making 8 smaller ones instead of 4 large empanadas. I would also double the broccoli recipe - it goes fast and is delicious.

• Garlicky shrimp with asparagus fries & Meyer lemon aioli

  • angrygreycat on February 15, 2023

    Tasty and quick week night dinner I was surprised that the asparagus and shrimp got done at the same time., but I did use large shrimp.

• Salmon Provencal with fingerling potatoes & cherry tomatoes

  • hbakke on October 22, 2022

    Easy, basic sheet pan dinner. I used white fish fillets in place of salmon, but salmon would have been better with the specified herbs.

  • aceedubs on November 17, 2025

    I used Penzy's Italian Herb Mix instead of the fresh herbs and it was delish. I also sprinkled the Salmon with Spice House's Back of the Yards.

• Roasted Caesar salad with salmon

  • angrygreycat on July 24, 2022

    Salmon was good but the roasted romaine was kind of washed out tasting. To be fair though perhaps a cooked salad was not a good choice for such a hot day. I think if I wanted to cook romaine for a hot caesar salad again I would want to char it on a grill rather than roast it in the oven. Probably will not make this again.

• Cauliflower steaks with capers, anchovies & winter greens

  • sbrooksh on October 18, 2022

    The cauliflower broke into chunks when attempting to slice but it was much better that way. The chard was terrible. Wouldn’t make again

• Gingery Asian eggplant with tofu & green beans

  • yoganut23 on September 08, 2021

    True to its description - this is a "stir-fry" in the oven - tasty!

• Lemony tofu & vegetable kebabs with roasted poblano sauce

  • yoganut23 on September 12, 2021

    Winner-winner veggie dinner! A light summer dish - with a strong lemony tang. I divided the sauce and mixed sour cream in one half - I think it would be fine without. "The sauce makes the meal" was stated at the dinner table by the 1/2 that tried it with sour cream. Consider adding potatoes to the roasting pan. Be sure to add a green salad to complete the meal.

  • hbakke on February 20, 2022

    We liked the vegetables and tofu in the quick marinade, but I think I should have left them in the oven longer. After roasting, the poblano and shallots were a bit too raw tasting in the sauce.

• Loaded baked potatoes with pancetta, broccoli & cheddar cheese

  • aceedubs on August 01, 2025

    I used thick cut bacon instead of pancetta. I would have added it about 5 minutes later.
