Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Overnight yeasted waffles

    • silent_kaye on January 18, 2025

      I followed the guidance for keeping waffles warm while the rest are cooked. Would put two trays in the oven next time to accommodate all the waffles in a single layer. I used 1/3 cup batter per waffle, resulting in 12 waffles using my small cuisinart (non-Belgian-style) wafflemaker.

  • Smashed cucumber salad

      Although this is one of the simpler smashed cucumber recipes out there, it’s also very delicious. After salting the smashed cukes for 15-30 minutes, a simple dressing is added. This went well with salmon and arugula salad. Will repeat this for sure.

  • Turkish tomato, bulgur, and red pepper soup

    • montecristo99 on February 09, 2020

      Easy and delicious. Instead of topping with fresh mint, we used sliced Havarti. A comforting meal on a winter night.

  • Greek chicken and rice soup with egg and lemon (Avgolemono)

    • heather_415qhc on March 20, 2026

      Great recipe. Citrus makes it feel fresh. I used the immersion blender… worked very well.

    • sarahawker on November 25, 2023

      Made for Thanksgiving dinner. Amazing. I prepped a lot in advance so actual cook off went perfectly. Absolutely make again.

  • Crunchy pork chops with winter squash and cranberry sauce

    • hshineflew on October 25, 2022

    • hshineflew on October 26, 2022
