• Green salad

    It's lettuce with a nice dressing. Used extra virgin olive oil instead of safflower.

• Sauteed snow peas

  • kbrooks on February 09, 2025

    Fresh shelled green peas can be used instead.

• Lemon rice

  • kbrooks on May 02, 2026

    Lovely citrus rice. Great with fish.

• Lemon Stroganoff

  • kbrooks on February 09, 2025

    This is really tasty. Serve over buttered egg noodles or mashed potatoes.

• Cold beets vinaigrette

  • kbrooks on March 26, 2025

    We loved this dish. Easy to make. The Strong Vinaigrette, pg.51,is assertive but doesn't overpower the flavor of the beets. Made with red beets,but I think golden beets or a combo of both would also be nice.

• Corn salad

  • kbrooks on August 12, 2024

    This is a great summer salad. I microwave cook the whole ears of unshucked corn. It is really easy then to shuck the corn and it's already cooked enough. 7-9 minutes for 4 ears of corn. Then just proceed with scraping the corn kernels from the cobs; toss with the roasted red peppers, salt, sugar and lemon juice. Lime juice also works.

• Carrot and tomato soup

  • kbrooks on October 06, 2025

    Wonderful flavorful soup! I made this exactly as written except that I simplified it a bit. I didn't peel and deseed the tomatoes. Instead I cored and chunked them directly into the soup. Once everything was tender I pureed it all with an immersion blender and, strained it and returned it to the pot. Definitely will make again.

    This is a tasty sauce for any pasta.
