Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Herb custards

    • wester on September 27, 2012

      Lovely and creamy. I wasn't sure about the shallots in here, though. I had big ones so I used only three, but it still seemed like too much. I might leave them all out next time, and use more herbs, or even some spices instead (nutmeg)?. Also, I left them in the oven until they were just set, leaving them until a skewer came out clean would have made them too dry, I think.

  • Roasted red pepper and lentil soup

    • sirprize on February 11, 2015

      We always use split red lentils.

  • Warm spinach salad with sage and walnut dressing

    • wester on March 28, 2014

      I like the idea of adding a boiling dressing to a salad to wilt it, but I thought this salad had too much vinegar. Repeat sometimes with half the vinegar.

  • Ossobuco with dried cranberries

    • sheepdogplanet on December 09, 2017

      Add a splash of white wine before putting this in the oven as this didn't have enough liquid for the braise. After an hour of cooking check liquid level and add more wine if needed.

  • Pound cake

    • nadiam1000 on January 28, 2017

      I love a good poundcake and this one is delicious, moist and has great flavor from the almond paste and lemon.

Caprial Pence has a knack for making the difficult seem not just manageable, but downright fun and tasty, too. As a busy restaurant owner, television chef, and mother of two small children, she's had to. Caprial has shown viewers of her TV series the surprisingly simple steps to making everything from the elegant Sautéed Chicken Breasts with Apple Curry Sauce and Triple Chocolate Hazelnut Torte to simpler fare, like Pesto Pizza or Asian Vegetable Soup. Now, with this book, you can make those same dishes in your own kitchen. Here are more than 130 favorites from Caprial's show and restaurant, recipes for appetizers, soups, salads, main dishes, desserts, and more -- all featuring the easy-to-follow instructions, easy-to-find ingredients, and handy menu suggestions that make cooking with Caprial such a joy. A special section covers the rewarding "basics" that few home cooks even think of making anymore -- things like salsa, roasted garlic, mayonnaise, and crème fraîche -- all simpler to prepare than you might expect, and immeasurably tastier than store-bought. This collection is filled with the kind of cooking that can be prepared in a hurry for a quiet, intimate meal, or delight a dinner party with its variety and sophistication...and either way, you get all the credit.
