Cookbook: Smitten Kitchen Every Day: Triumphant and Unfussy New Favorites
Rating: 5/5

This is a family favourite. We can't get gigante beans easily where we are, but we've experimented with other types and it's quite flexible. Lima or Corona beans work well. White k...

Blueberry Muffins

Cookbook: Bouchon Bakery
Rating: 3/5

These were okay muffins, but nothing special. I'd been led by the instructions to believe they would be something out of the ordinary - they have molasses, honey, lots of butter, a...

Rating: 3/5

The first time I made these I followed the recipe exactly, using a gram scale to make sure it was precise, as recommended in the book's foreword. They were almost inedible - the ta...

Rating: 4/5

My wife loved this, and my 9-year-old gobbled it up (without chicken though, as she's not much of a meat eater). It has an unusual flavour with the addition of half a vanilla bean...

Cookbook: The Best Recipes in the World
Rating: 4/5

This is quite a good recipe, reminiscent of Bittman's tagine with chickpeas. It's a variation on Bulgur Pilaf with Meat. I cooked it exactly as written and it made a hearty vegetar...

Cookbook: How to Cook Everything: 2,000 Simple Recipes for Great Food
Rating: 4/5

I would have never thought of cooking greens with tahini, but this works very well. It's a simple recipe - sautee some garlic and then add your greens (kale in this case) a little...
