Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Orange and red onion salad with black olives

    • AlkansCockatoo on January 15, 2022

      This was surprisingly good, particularly in winter with a fish/poultry main. After searching I infer salads with combinations of these ingredients (with additions ranging from cumin, paprika, chili, parsley, arugula, & mint, to ricotta) seem to be traditional from Sicily to Morocco. This version seems to be as simple as it can get.

  • Tomato and basil salad

    • sturlington on March 26, 2013

      The simplest of salads, you hardly need a recipe. But if you have garden-fresh tomatoes, this is the best way to eat them.

  • Buttered green beans

    • sturlington on October 29, 2013

      Not much too this, but it's an easy weeknight side.

  • Glazed carrots

    • LaPomme on January 06, 2012

      I feel dense for never having thought of using bagged baby carrots for this purpose. I've made other glazed carrots that were a lot sweeter, so if you want a more sticky glaze, you might want to increase the sugar. If you're counting calories, though, or looking for a healthy but tasty vegetable side, this is definitely a quick and easy option.

  • Sautéed scallops with garlic and parsley butter

    • LaPomme on January 06, 2012

      I didn't chop parsley powdery-fine as it appears in the photo accompanying this recipe. So, when it came time to pour the melted parsley-garlic butter over the scallops, I strained it first. A whole stick of butter was overdoing it; I think it would be fine to make half as much of the sauce.

  • Roast turkey breast

    • sturlington on November 22, 2012

      Add some butter and garlic under the skin.

  • Biscuits

    • sturlington on December 30, 2012

      An easy recipe if you have buttermilk on hand. I like that there is no baking powder in these biscuits, as I often don't like the metallic aftertaste baking powder can cause.
