Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Charred squash with balsamic vinegar and Parmigiano-Reggiano

    • fprincess on February 05, 2011

      Flavors are good. I thought the instructions were a little off. Why not just roast the squash in the oven (skipping the frying step in olive oil) and then finish with the balsamic-brown butter? Flavors were good.

      Flavors were good - the balsamic vinegar and parmesan add a nice punch to the sweet squash. I thought the instructions were a little off. Why not just roast the squash in the oven (skipping the frying step in olive oil) and then finish with the balsamic-brown butter sauce?

      We used delicata squash and thought the dish was excellent.

  • Pappardelle with meat ragu

    • crandall57 on March 15, 2015

      Excellent dish. It makes a lot, freeze the leftovers.

  • Stracci with red wine-braised duck

    • crandall57 on March 15, 2015

      Excellent dish. Didn't use stracci; made linguine instead.

  • Tuna Siciliana

    • crandall57 on March 15, 2015

      This dish was easy to prepare and delicious. Make it in the summer when basil is fresh.

  • Roman braised oxtail

    • crandall57 on October 06, 2013

      We serve it over pasta. Great on pappardelle.

  • Grilled pork chops with broccoli rabe

    • crandall57 on March 15, 2015

      The brine for the pork chops creates a moist and flavorful chop. We've used long bone chops from Bella Tara farm and center cut chops, both were delicious.

  • Banana waffles with Nutella

    • BigOrangeTiger on January 14, 2018

      Delicious - only made a quarter of the batter (and didn't do the toppings) - but really great regardless. Made 4 '5-hearts' waffles - just enough for breakfast for two.
