Yummy Yam Spears

Great flavor, but very mushy/soggy. Maybe next time I'll play with how to cook them so I can get a little bit crispier results.

Torta Ebraica di Ricotta

This Italian cheesecake is a mix of ricotta and chocolate (or sour cherry jam) baked inside a delicious pie crust! It isn't too sweet, and it isn't too fussy. I would definitely make again, and it's certainly lighter (and more novel) then New York Cheesecake.

*of course I have the e-book edition and have no idea what the actual page number for this recipe is! But it is the last recipe in the book.*

Flour: Spectacular Recipes from Boston's Flour Bakery + Cafe

By Joanne Chang, Christie Matheson
Chronicle Books - 2010

This was definitely a project best undertaken over a day or two since the pate brisee, frangipani, and pears all need to be separately prepared, then cooled/refrigerated before assembling the crostata and doing the final bake. But...it's amazing. The frangipani makes it.

Around My French Table: More Than 300 Recipes from My Home to Yours

By Dorie Greenspan, Alan Richardson
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt - 2010

This looked beautiful. But...the recommended cheese never really melted, and it never browned/crisped on the top despite the thirty minutes it spent without the "lid" at the end of bake time. I couldn't really taste the bacon or herbs...tempted to try this again just to doctor it up. I really wanted to love this, but it was "meh."
