Notes about Recipes in this book

• Roast chicken with mustard butter

  • twoyolks on March 10, 2017

    This was a really good roast chicken. The skin was well browned, crispy, and particularly flavorful. I liked the mustard butter rubbed under the skin; it added a lot of flavor that complimented the chicken well. I'd definitely consider salting the chicken in advance in the future and possibly cutting back on the mustard a bit as it was a hint too strong.

• Greek roast chicken with caper butter, roast lemons, and skordalia

  • mcvl on May 27, 2012

    Very good. The chickens I roast are too young and too tight-skinned to do the familiar stuffing-under-the-skin method, but it worked perfectly to fill the cavity with most of the stuffing and then, around 15 minutes before the chicken was done, pat the rest on the outside. Not the most beautiful roast chicken you've ever seen, but one of the tastiest.

• Roasted radicchio and onions

  • sqhall on January 29, 2020

    The radicchio was a little too bitter for us. I think I would prefer it mixed in with more vegetables.

• Roast chicken and thick-sliced summer tomatoes with Spanish olive oil and fresh herbs

  • twoyolks on July 09, 2019

    This was too simple of a recipe to be great. The chicken and tomatoes were bland.

• Roast chicken salad with smoked paprika mayo, serrano ham, and olives

  • lean1 on June 14, 2024

    made half recipe. love the Spanish flavors. I will use a little more Pimenton next time. The flavor wasn't very strong. will make it often

• Perciatelli with shredded roast chicken, sweet onions, and pancetta

  • twoyolks on June 20, 2016

    This is good but has way too much pancetta and not enough chicken in it. The roasted sweet onions add a nice flavor.

• Strozzapreti with spinach-basil pesto and ricotta salata

  • lkgrover on June 10, 2025

    Good pasta with chicken and spinach-basil sauce. I used rotisserie chicken from the grocery for easier preparation.

• Farro pasta with roast chicken, butternut squash, and fresh oregano

  • twoyolks on October 18, 2016

    The butternut squash doesn't really work with the rest of the ingredients. It's just too sweet.

• Baked macaroni and cheese with roast chicken, smoked mozzarella, and rosemary

  • lkgrover on September 23, 2018

    Delicious variation of macaroni & cheese with chicken. Great comfort food.

• Whole-wheat spaghetti with roast chicken, shredded Brussels sprouts, and Parmesan

  • Cheri on March 16, 2012

    LOVE this dish for a quick winter weeknight meal. Use up the rest of Sunday's roast chicken later in the week. Dark meat works nicely here.

  • lawrencecharcuterie on March 14, 2021

    This is an area where whole wheat pasta really shines

• Roast chicken, sweet corn, and poblano pepper quesadillas

  • twoyolks on September 06, 2021

    I liked these but they're a bit difficult to hold together. I think that perhaps making them without the cherry tomatoes and serving it with pico de gallo would work better.
