Recipe Review

9th April 2012

Queezle_Sister from Salt Lake City, UT

A delightful spring pasta - light with lots of asparagus. The recipe uses garlic, lemon, and Worcestershire sauce (and lots of black pepper) as the sauce. Surprisingly, just as James Beard describes, the Worcestershire blends in nicely, and the sauce has great body.

This recipe was prepared by my 16 yr old son. It was a success - even more so because it didn't take very long to prepare.

I'd forgotten I had this book, and appreciate your posting this review, as this is the season for things that don't require a lot of cooking. What interesting flavor combinations — I'm looking forward to trying it!

I love this book. I tend to forget about it for long periods of time, but James Beard doesn't tend to steer me wrong! I'll look forward to seeing your reviews from this fine book.
