Notes about Recipes in this book

• Napa cabbage & spinach chopped salad with lemony basil dressing

  • cookingbychapter on May 19, 2026

    Good salad. Makes a ton, definitely not two servings as the book indicates. Would halve next time.

• White wine-braised pork ragù with loose lasagna noodles

    I'd break up the lasagna noodles before cooking.

• Sheet-pan chicken "shawarma" with garlicky tahini

  • april_44nqme on March 19, 2026

    This recipe is a fail unless you really know how to cook. Must marinate the chicken and not just slap them with sauce before putting them in the oven over peppers and oven. Also putting them in the oven over peps and onions will bleed off tons of moisture so ideally set them on a rack or occasionally drain the pan off and reserve the liquid (use later if wanted). Also made homemade tzatziki sauce and chopped cukes, shredded carrots, pickled carrots to top. Made twice and improving each time. Made shawarma bowls over rice.

• Bulgogi pork tenderloin lettuce wraps

  • rayna_5590zi on February 08, 2026

    One of our absolute favorites!

• Sushi-rice pudding with roasted grapes

  • eclairea on April 06, 2026

    This was the perfect way to use up a surplus of grapes and milk. The roasted grapes were a revelation, and now I want to buy more grapes just to roast them again. Delicious!

• S'mores pots de crème with salted graham cracker crumble

  • cookingbychapter on May 23, 2026

    These were good but just too sweet overall for me. Definitely could not finish a whole one.
