Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Bourbon chicken

    • Rinshin on July 18, 2021

      Sweet soy sauce taste comes through strongly. Too sweet for our taste, but it is a familiar taste similar to fast food Chinese American offerings. I want to make this again, but reduce sugar, increase bourbon, and add something green like green beans, asparagus etc because it was very simple to make. This would make a good addition to Hawaiian plate lunch with white rice, greens, and macaroni salad.

      After seeing Rinshin's note and reading reviews on the Cook's Country website, I used half the brown sugar (1/4 cup). When the chicken was done cooking, I poured it over some steamed broccoli and served it all with lots of plain rice to balance the salty, strongly-flavored sauce. This was very easy to make and my family liked it a lot. Will definitely make again.

      The kids devoured this sugary-sweet chicken. I used half the vinegar called for. Served with chicken filled bao and sautéed baby bok choy.

    • Shewi128 on March 04, 2022

      This is very much like something you get at a mall food court. I liked it enough to make it twice.

  • Fresh corn muffins

    • Shewi128 on March 03, 2022

      I made this with frozen corn, and they still turned out great. I loved the technique of making a slurry with cornmeal and warm milk.

    • Partyof7 on March 16, 2026

      Soooo delicious! I had a little trouble getting them out of the pan. One muffin serving is plenty, so makes a lot!

  • Korean grilled flanken-style short ribs (Kalbi)

    • Partyof7 on July 27, 2022

      So tasty! Entire family loved them. Made them twice already this summer

    • Partyof7 on March 16, 2026

      Made this classic again for my son’s birthday. Added a little minced ginger. Used Soju for the clear rice wine. Marinated for 24 hours, and charcoal grilled. Off the charts delicious!

  • Chicken Parmesan meatballs

    • Nealm on July 27, 2021

      Don't tell anyone you used Ritz crackers! They work so well.

    • anya_sf on August 06, 2021

      Relatively quick to assemble (I cheated and used pre-shredded mozzarella) and really tasty. My family loved these.

    • Partyof7 on March 16, 2026

      Very very nice flavor! I reduced the panko a bit and used 2 tsp kosher salt in the meatballs. The family enjoyed these.

  • House salad with pepperoni croutons

    • Partyof7 on March 16, 2026

      This is an interesting take on a house salad. As written, even using a high quality pepperoni, the crouton flavor gets lost in the ingredients and you can’t really taste them . If I make it again, I’ll try cutting the pepperoni and bread traditional crouton size, about 1/2 “

  • Barbecue-spiced potatoes

    • Partyof7 on March 16, 2026

      Yum. Spiced like BBQ potato chips- a family favorite! Turned out great. Crispy and delicious.

  • Bucatini all'Amatriciana

    • anya_sf on July 10, 2025

      Good, easy recipe. I saved time by starting the sauce first, then boiling the pasta while the tomatoes simmered.

  • Garlic-feta chicken breasts with cucumber salad

    • raymond_08bnpw on April 14, 2026

      This recipe specifically says to use skin on chicken.

  • Okra and shrimp stew

    • anya_sf on August 25, 2021

      This recipe takes time (I made the broth a day ahead), but very little hands-on effort. So flavorful and delicious, it only served 4 as a one-pot meal with rice, as everyone had seconds, even the shrimp-hater.

  • Preserved peach and burrata salad

    • Partyof7 on July 27, 2022

      Made this with fresh peaches and we love it. Really delicious

  • Candied jalapeños

    • Partyof7 on July 27, 2022

      Perfection! Can’t believe how many things I’m putting them on, and I’m not traditionally a fan of heat
