Saved By Soup: More Than 100 Delicious Low-Fat Soups To Eat And Enjoy Every Day
By Judith Barrett
William Morrow Cookbooks - 1999
Wonderful recipe. We have made this many times throughout the winter. We usually add a little more liquid as it is SO packed with goodies that there is not enough broth.

This soup is very good. Wonderful flavor. I usually have to add more liquid to the soups made from this book but not this one. I make this to recipe.

Lots of garlic and creamy texture with running the beans through an immersion blender. Very good flavor. One of constant repeats.

Great hearty soup. We love all of the vegetables in this and with the chicken it is a complete meal (although we usually have bread and cheese too). I sometimes add 1/4 - 1/2 cup each of corn, green beans, and peas (thanks to my Aunt Bonnie).

A great soup. I add more liquid as it gets very thick when made to recipe.

We think that this is a slightly unusual soup and a great change of pace. We love it with the lima beans and basil!

Very good. Make the jelly mixture very runny so that it covers well.

Another family favorite. We love this one - even the kids (or young adults)! Almost like a dessert. You don't even have to like brie to like this!

Great Good Food: Luscious Lower-Fat Cooking
By Julee Rosso
Three Rivers Press - 1993
I thought that this was very good. I actually made two and I only have one spring form pan. I put the other in my tart pan which worked fine too - could hold the same volume too. Very good way to get lots of good green veggies.

Dolce Italiano: Desserts from the Babbo Kitchen
By Gina DePalma, Mario Batali
W.W. Norton & Co. - 2007
I have made these twice and both times they were a hit. Both times I used Lemoncello instead of Grappa (we are not grappa fans). I also put some lemon zest in both the cake and the syrup. Absolutely divine with Lemoncello.
I used my Wilton mini-bundt pan that has 12 - 1/2 cup molds in it. 11 minutes to bake on convection and 15 to bake on regular. These seemed to be the perfect small size. Makes 24.

WONDERFUL!! Very lemony! A bit of work but well worth it. Read the recipe through and plan ahead. Made for Mother's Day 2009 and it was hit.

At Home with Michael Chiarello: Easy Entertaining
By Michael Chiarello, Karl Petzke
Chronicle Books - 2005
We do have the NapaStyle Cocorico roaster that we use to make this chicken. I am not one for many kitchen gadgets - but this is more than a gadget and worth the amount of space it takes in my cabinets. This chicken comes out wonderful with beautifully seasoned vegetables and potatoes. We have always used the Toasted Spice Rub instead of the Citrus Salt with our chicken - the house smells wonderfully while it is baking.

I have always used this with the Vertical Roasted Chicken Cocorico but it would be good in many dishes. I love making this - as the spices are toasted the entire house smells delicious. One recipe of this makes 1 cup you only need about 3 - 4 tablespoons per chicken. So you will have leftovers to make more chicken!
