Beet and Daikon Salsa from Vij's: Elegant and Inspired Indian Cuisine

I thought I'd give this a try to go with the other recipes that I was making from the book (see my review for Vij's Family Chicken Curry for the full menu), and was very pleased with my discovery. Re.... read more >

The Enchanted Broccoli Forest...and Other Timeless Delicacies

By Mollie Katzen
Ten Speed Press - 1982

Like many of the recipes in this book, this took some time to put together. But again, like most of the recipes in this book, the result was DELICIOUS!

I used half white button mushrooms, and half one other type (that I can't recall). I also skipped the sherry, but it was plenty rich and tasty without it. I brought it to a potluck on a chilly winter evening, and we were fighting over the last piece.

I love quiche but don't actually make it very often. When I do, I get lazy and buy a pre-made/frozen crust, to which I add my own filling. But as much as I love quiche, I can never remember how to make it (I guess my brain is crammed with other arcane bits of information), and I always end up back at EBF's recipe for quiche fillings.

This recipe is the only I've ever seen that clearly explains what causes a crust to get soggy - it's all about the cheese, and the sequence of filling. it also gives some great suggestions in case you want to get creative with filling ingredients.

I have yet to try using sour cream - mmmm - maybe tonight!
