Notes about this book

Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Hanger steak with chimichurri

    • Kduncan on February 23, 2021

      This was a perfectly fine steak recipe, the chimichurri was nice and not overpowering.

  • Tomato and watermelon salad

    • TrishaCP on August 19, 2018

      Tomatoes and watermelon are delicious together in a salad, and this is a particularly nice dairy-free version. I used basil as my herb- and doubled the quantity. (Chives would be good in this, but even as a tarragon fan I don't think it would be great here.)

  • Pipérade

    • AgusiaH on September 30, 2011

      Lovely dish. I cooked it longer than the recipe indicated - about 25-30min to get nice soft peppers. Lots of garlic is a nice twist.

Acclaimed chef Gerald Hirigoyen's sophisticated and delectable small plates, served at his restaurants, Bocadillos and Piperade, set the standard for tapas in San Francisco.
