Recipe Review

4th September 2012

friederike from Berlin,

Nah. This was just weird. The peppers made it quite sweet, something not even the bacon could counteract. We didn't have provolone, so we used mozzarella, a cheese we read had similar characteristics - well, I hope it doesn't. Both mozzarella and chicken need to take their flavours from elsewhere, and the combination of the two without any other notable flavourings was not a winner.

Served with Flash-Roasted Cherry Tomatoes, which weren't a hit either.

I find the Williams-Sonoma cookbooks a little odd -- I have four or five I think. There are always lovely pictures that make me feel like cooking, but also, there always seem to be quite a few recipes that don't quite work or aren't as good as versions in other cookbooks. I've gotten so I don't buy them unless I recognize the name of the author as someone whose recipes I like -- e.g. Georgeanne Brennan did the salad-a-day book.

That's good to know, I was quite a bit surprised. This is the only Williams-Sonoma book I have, so I wouldn't have been able to say whether it's the series or not.
I saw that you also have Molly Stevens' All about Braising - I'm seriously considering buying her new book, All about Roasting - have you heard anything about it?

All ABout Roasting is on my Christmas list this year -- a friend of mine has it so I've looked through it and it seems to be as good as her braising book, which I think is excellent.
