  • Provençal beef and carrot daube

      Simple stew with good flavor, made a day ahead as recommended. I found it easier to remove the onions before browning the beef (maybe it would be even better to brown the beef first). I also did not bother removing the meat and carrots before adding the wine, as it wasn't difficult get underneath them to scrape the bottom of the pot.

  • Carrot and persimmon tea cake

      I can't rate this recipe since it was a disaster for me. I baked it about 65 minutes and it seemed done according to the recipe cues, but discovered otherwise when I tried to unmold it and it fell apart, exposing the raw center. A tester had come out slightly moist, but with no crumbs clinging to it, so that test isn't fully reliable either. I was able to taste the edges and the flavor was good, so I would try this again, knowing that it needs much longer in the oven. The directions say to bake in an ungreased Bundt pan, which I did (although I was skeptical), but mine stuck to the pan, so I'd grease it next time.
