Notes about Recipes in this book

• Simple chicken pot pie

  • LaurenB on June 02, 2026

    The filling was great and simple, but the pie crust was an absolute disaster. First try was so dry it wouldn't stay together, the second time way too wet and sticky. Will try the biscuit recipe next time, or just use puff pastry.

    Good method for making basic roasted red bell peppers. [Cross-post for Annual Edition/Magazine/Cook's Ill. Cookbook.]

• Sweet and spicy roasted red pepper dip

    This is a really delicious version of muhammara. Recipe calls for 2 tbsp molasses or pomegranate molasses. I start with 1 tbsp pomegranate molasses and add more to taste since 2 tbsp has sometimes been too sweet for me. [Cross-post for Annual Edition/Magazine/Cook's Ill. Cookbook.]
