Notes about Recipes in this book

• Whole roasted fennel with salsa verde and gremolata bread crumbs

  • ncollyer on February 28, 2021

    Excellent dish. Great combination of flavours and textures. The caramelized fennel is set off beautifully by the bread crumbs and salsa verde, both of which are special in their own right.

• Braised brisket with salsa verde and horseradish crème fraîche

  • adelina on February 23, 2021

    Really enjoyed the flavors of the brisket. In know Nancy calls out that the horseradish sauce make the dish but it was great as is. I did braise in the oven longer because I do enjoy the slow cooking process and a result of meet that falls off the bone.

• Dario's baked potatoes with whipped lardo

  • adelina on February 23, 2021

    This was a show stopper. I used butter instead of Laredo but it was beautiful and flavorful. I doubled the recipe and used a bigger skillet with five pounds of potatoes.

• Pepper steak "Dal Rae"

  • bwhip on February 27, 2023

    Excellent, and quite simple to put together. I cut the recipe roughly in half, since there are just two of us. I bought some really beautiful (and expensive) Wagyu beef steaks, and since I didn’t want to take any chance of over-or-undercooking them, I decided to sous vide them, and then put a nice quick sear on them just before serving. Delicious. I served them with the https://www.eatyourbooks.com/library/recipes/2261464/butter-lettuce-and-herb-salad from the same cookbook.

• Grains and seeds salad with escarole, avocado, bacon, egg, and horseradish dressing

  • bwhip on December 27, 2020

    Delicious and interesting. I wasn’t sure how much we’d like this with all of the emphasis on seeds and grains, but the end result was really good. Dressing was nicely zippy, and the balance of flavors and textures was very nice.

• Braised greens

  • Apepin on April 24, 2021

    Great recipe! The greens, garlic, and oil meld together beautifully.

• Grilled pork-and-veal meatballs with fresh ricotta and braised greens

  • Apepin on April 24, 2021

    These were great, though the kids didn't enjoy them much. I used 6oz of store bough n'duja because that was the size of the package. I used less sage, oregano, and rosemary than was called for. It seemed like a lot. Next time I'll use all the herbs. The grilled flavor was unusual and the herbs balance it nicely. The greens were absolutely delicious.
