Notes about Recipes in this book

• Chicken scaloppine with arugula, lemon, and Parmesan

  • Breadcrumbs on June 10, 2010

    p.278 - sounds a bit dull - b/s chx seared off w SnP served over arugula

• Individual rhubarb and raspberry tartlets

  • Breadcrumbs on March 11, 2016

    This recipe originally appeared in MSL magazine. I've made it many times and also adapted it for a quick and easy version using puff pastry. For that version I use approx 3 cups chopped rhubarb, 1/2 c sugar, 1/4 c flour for the filling. Delicious.

• Peanut butter-chocolate chip oatmeal cookies

  • perkinsre on July 29, 2010

    Delicious! Even healthy for the most part. 13 mins was perfect in my oven. It is necessary to let the cookies set for the 5 mins before removing them to a cooling rack.

• Cranberry bran muffins

  • Christine on September 02, 2014

    Substituted oat bran for wheat bran and white whole wheat flour for all-purpose. These are on the sweeter side, but the tart cranberries balance things out. Used frozen cranberries and threw in an extra half cup because 1 1/2 cups seemed on the low side for the amount of batter. The direction to stir the brown sugar into the dry ingredients didn't make sense to me based on other recipes I've made, so I mixed it into the wet ingredients instead. In my pans, I got 22 muffins instead of 12 -- I thought my muffin pans were standard, but it is a recurring *problem* that a recipe makes more than the amount stated, though obviously each one is smaller. In this case, I do wonder if the stated yield of 12 was an error because they still needed the full 30 minutes to bake through (though using frozen cranberries would have added a few minutes anyway.)

    I used wheat germ instead of wheat bran as that’s what I had on hand. They turned out really good. My wife said I’d outdone myself. :-)

• Japanese salmon ramen with chile-ginger dressing and wheat noodles

  • AgusiaH on April 25, 2014

    Excellent recipe. I used soba and some kolrabi and green cabbage instead of spinach.

• Breakfast muffins

  • Bloominanglophile on October 22, 2015

    This recipe is from the June 2002 issue of Martha Stewart Living magazine. I made the raspberry streusel variation--yummy!

• Dried apricot and sage scones

  • Bloominanglophile on October 22, 2015

    These were delightful! Recipe says to bake for 30 minutes, which raised a red flag with me. Mine took 23 minutes. Always scrutinize baking times!

• Blue cheese dressing

  • jessncanfield on August 21, 2016

    Used sour cream plus a little extra milk and lemon juice instead of the nonfat yogurt and then added 1/2 tsp of onion powder and this was delicious. Needs a good bit of cracked fresh pepper and salt but definitely a recipe we will return to!

• Grilled mahimahi

  • vikingcook on March 31, 2016

    Very good. Cooked on George Foreman grill. Turned out perfectly. Cooked for 3 min. Then flipped & cooked for another minute.

• Slow-roasted salmon with caper and herb relish

  • Summerlandsky on April 26, 2014

    Temperature and time was nowhere near enough to cook salmon. I upped it to the traditional 425 degrees at 12 mins when fish was still practically raw after 30 mins. Not a huge fan of the sauce either. All capers and not much else. Maybe if I puréed it with all the herbs. Probably going to shelve this recipe and not use again.

• Roasted chicken salad

  • Summerlandsky on July 24, 2014

    Excellent chicken salad recipe. Dressing was more tart than sweet which I prefer. Substituted cashews, dried cherries, fresh chives and lemon thyme. Will make again.

• Quick braised artichokes

  • themasterkey3000 on May 13, 2018

    Really easy, flavorful way to make artichokes.

• Thai fried rice

  • Dannausc on October 10, 2018

    Super quick and easy. Pretty decent, but not worth a repeat.

• Crispy pork-stuffed Anahein chiles

  • Dannausc on October 10, 2018

    Really good. Great way to use up Anaheim peppers if you have a bumper crop. Definitely worth a repeat.

• Quick purple tomatillo sauce

  • Dannausc on October 10, 2018

    Quick, easy, and tasty.

• Banana bread with walnuts and flaxseed

  • Dannausc on December 27, 2020

    Pretty decent

• Sautéed okra and tomatoes

  • Dannausc on October 10, 2018

    Quick and easy. Pretty decent.

• Celery root rémoulade

  • hbakke on April 25, 2021

    This was an alright version of remoulade, but I think I prefer other recipes that use mayonnaise.

• Strawberry cake

  • hbakke on June 02, 2020

    Page 488. Simple, delicious cake. I used a 9 inch spring form pan instead of a 10 inch pie dish and it was cooked perfectly in the allotted time. I threw on a few blackberries, but I think the strawberries tasted better. I spent too much time making a nice looking pattern with the strawberries on the top and the baking shifted them all around. Don't waste your time time trying to get them to look nice. I would make this again.

• Curried apple soup

  • ingriddeheer on February 16, 2022

    surprisingly tasty. Mide was a little thin so I thickened with potato flakes, just a tablespoon.
