Notes about Recipes in this book

• Asian pear clafoutis

  • springandfall on March 10, 2014

    Less sweet than most clafoutis recipes, but a nice change. Serve warm to intensify sweetness. A good alternative when berries are out of season and your non-Asian pears haven't ripened yet. Also a good way to use up that extra egg yolk.

• Basic bok choy stir-fry

  • KatieK1 on May 11, 2022

    Very pleasant. Excellent instructions.

• Broccoli and kumquat salad with olives

  • eve_kloepper on March 18, 2016

    Quartering the kumquats for the dressing resulted in their getting stuck under the blender blades. Better to chop them.

• Chicken sauté with blood oranges

  • Avocet on April 27, 2024

    This was okay, but not outstanding. Needs more orange, and maybe a bit of lemon. Certainly easy to make.

• Chicken suprêmes with lychees

  • debkellie on February 14, 2026

    Very tasty, served as a Valentines Day dinner for 2. My chicken supremes from a 400g breast needed way longer than her suggested 2 minutes each side, and a further "stew" for 2 minutes... more like 30 minutes to reach safe eating temp!

• Fennel with tomatoes, mushrooms and herbs

  • eve_kloepper on April 14, 2016

    Delicious side dish. I used good quality canned tomatoes with excellent results.

• Steamed delicata rings with walnut dressing

  • Kitchengeek on October 29, 2017

    I didn't actually make the squash this way - I roasted it in halves at 350 for 30 minutes with some oil and salt and water. And I changed the sauce - used maple syrup instead of sugar and hazelnut oi instead of the walnut and corn oils, and I mixed the walnuts into the rest of the sauce. But the sauce was excellent, and would be good with other vegetables as well.

• Sweet dumpling squash baked with cream

  • rmardel on July 21, 2013

    This is has become my default method for simple preparation of sweet dumpling squash

• Swiss chard with dried mushrooms

  • eve_kloepper on March 06, 2015

    Fantastic. Even my husband, not a fan of greens, loves it. The dried porcini make the dish.

• Vegetable spaghetti baked with herbed cheese sauce

  • Cheri on October 17, 2010

    1 med squash returns very little meat. Sauce has good flavor.

• Winged beans stir-fried with sesame and garlic

  • lorloff on January 03, 2022

    I was visiting a friend in Hawaii and I found Wing beans at a farmers market. This dish sounded intriguing. The tahini made the dish in an indescribable way. Absolutely delicious and a real hit. Will try again with other green beans. Highly recommended.
