Notes about Recipes in this book

• Anchoyade

  • LeilaD on April 07, 2020

    Do not use a food processor - use the mortar and pestle or a blender. The food processor did not incorporate the oil or the lemon juice. 10 minutes is also too long of a baking time. Otherwise, this is good.

• Swiss broccoli soup

  • Mtbike5280 on September 04, 2025

    It needed additional flavor for me, and I feel like a higher grade of Swiss cheese could have helped, as mine became a little grainy with I added the cheese. It was a great way to use up broccoli stems that I had from another recipe

• Split pea soup

  • Mtbike5280 on August 28, 2025

    This is a soup that I grew up eating and it is comfort in a bowl to me. The peas fully break down and it is full of flavor. When I make it, I find that you have to add more stock as you cook it.

• Caesar salad

  • LeilaD on June 17, 2017

    Try adding cooked chicken- it's really good

• Mandarin salad

  • tamara_cjermb on April 04, 2026

    Our favorite salad. Great for company - pretty at the holidays, too.

• Chicken Durango

  • curtisca on June 05, 2010

    I made this for a family of hungry Czechs and it went over very well! They all asked me how I made it and commented on how good it was. I will keep this recipe handy to use again; it was VERY easy to make.

• Marinated grilled flank steak

  • chrisann_4lfq5h on March 29, 2026

    Best ever marinade.

• Rocky Mountain brisket with barbecue sauce

  • candacey on August 11, 2017

    We've used this recipe in our family for years. Always a hit and everyone loves it, especially the barbecue sauce. For the barbecue sauce, I usually cut down the amount of butter I use, but is super delicious if you use the original recipe

• Beef Bourguignon

  • tamara_cjermb on May 10, 2026

    This is truly delicious and a regular item at holidays and special occasions. My family prefers it to the Julia Child recipe.

• Canneloni crepes

  • Alowishs on April 02, 2016

    (on page 162) Reference this recipe when making an Italian dish. Great flavor mix.

• Chile rellena casserole

  • carriger on August 03, 2020

    Use 24 poblano or hatch chiles instead of canned!

• Green chile (Chili verde) [La Bola]

  • claire_m41ubg on February 10, 2026

    My favorite green chile recipe!

  • claire_m41ubg on February 10, 2026

    Substitute roasted hatch chiles if available
