Fresh Mushroom Risotto

Jul 17, 2010
Cookbook: Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone
Rating: 5/5

This was a great recipe. I was always intimidated by risotto after a bad first attempt years ago. This came out wonderfully, with lots of different layers of flavor. It will defini...

Cookbook: Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day: 100 New Recipes Featuring Whole Grains, Fruits, Vegetables, and Gluten-Free Ingredients
Rating: 5/5

This is great, and definitely the easiest gluten-free bread I've made. I cooked mine in a dutch oven and it came out great. It was a little undercooked so I would cook it a bit lon...

Cookbook: Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day: The Discovery That Revolutionizes Home Baking
Rating: 4/5

I was really pleased with this. It came out more moist than some of the other no-knead breads I've used but the crust wasn't as crunchy the first time. I then baked it using my dut...

Rating: 4/5

A really nice take on lentil soup. I like the addition of dijon and the vinegar. Adds a nice kick.

Cookbook: Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone
Rating: 3/5

A good basic leek and potato soup recipe. There are some interesting ways to fancy it up if you are so inclined.

Cookbook: Feast: Food That Celebrates Life
Rating: 3/5

I did the brine, and felt like it was a lot of work without a lot of flavor pay off. The turkey cooked up fine, but all those extra spices didn't really impart a flavor beyond a ty...
