Notes about this book

  • Lepa on October 31, 2024

    Blond Puttanesca (p. 83). This was another easy and delicious recipe! I've had several versions of this style of pasta and this is the best I've tried.

  • Lepa on October 30, 2024

    Sheet-Pan Sausage and Brussels Sprouts with Honey Mustard (p. 177). We loved this and the timing was just right. I especially loved the brussels sprouts so I might make 2/3 brussels sprouts next time and less potatoes.

  • Lepa on October 24, 2024

    Sheet-Pan Gochujang Chicken and Roasted Vegetables (p. 48). This was delicious. The roasted vegetables were fantastic and the chicken was perfect. The radish salad provided a wonderful, bright contrast. We ate this with brown rice, which was a great way to soak up all the flavorful juices. I did peel the butternut squash but otherwise followed the directions exactly and the timing was perfect.

  • Lepa on October 22, 2024

    Blackened Fish with Quick Grits (p. 138) Another home run with this fabulous book filled with the best, tried and true NYT recipes. This came together quickly and was full of flavor. We will definitely be making this again!

  • Lepa on October 15, 2024

    Sticky Coconut Chicken and Rice (p. 52). This was delicious. I often find that the rice doesn't cook well in one-pot rice dishes like this. Here the rice was so creamy and delicious! Next time I might slice the chicken into smaller pieces so it's easier to eat. We loved this with sriracha. I'm really loving this cookbook so far.

  • Lepa on October 07, 2024

    Chili Crisp Fettuccini Alfredo with Spinach- this was easy and so satisfying!

Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Shrimp scampi with orzo

    • lauren424 on November 22, 2024

      A little more watery than I would have liked, but the flavor was good!

  • Garlicky chicken with lemon-anchovy sauce

    • Lepa on January 09, 2025

      My husband and I liked this but the kids were not fans. I was a bit surprised because they usually love anything with anchovies. I'd recommend it to others but maybe won't make it again for my family.

  • Farro with blistered tomatoes, pesto and spinach

    • bwhip on November 27, 2024

      Not the most visually lovely dish, but easy and quite delicious.

  • Salmon with garlic butter and tomato pasta

    • Kmy6sd on November 15, 2024

      This is a delicious and quick recipe, though be prepared for some multitasking as you're doing two fairly fast processes at the same time. Besides the multitasking, it required very little prep and not many ingredients for a great flavor payoff. I'd add some red pepper flakes when sautéing the garlic next time for a little more kick.

  • Lemony shrimp and bean stew

    • hbakke on December 20, 2024

      I thought this would be a little boring, but it was delicious. The stewed lemony beans and leeks were perfect with a side of crusty bread. I used regular paprika, but I would try smoked paprika next time.

  • Cheesy, spicy black bean bake

    • hbakke on December 17, 2024

      Basic beans with cheese that my husband scooped up with tortilla chips. We used a blend of sharp white cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese and served this over smashed potatoes. I love beans in all forms, so I would make this again.

    • Lepa on February 03, 2025

      This was a very easy and tasty bean dish to eat with fajitas or in tacos.

  • Red curry lentils with sweet potatoes and spinach

    • Lepa on November 27, 2024

      This was really good -and feels so healthy - but it makes a huge batch! We ate it with brown rice. I was in a rush so I only cooked the lentils for 15 minutes before adding the coconut milk, then cooked if for 10 more minutes. If I had cooked it longer, per the instructions, it probably would have been mush.
