Pasta e Fagioli from Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking

An easy and delicious soup. I used lardons for the meat. We were thinking that chicken sausages would be good, saucisse de volaille or merguez de volaille, cut in quarters lenghtwise, then into little... read more >

The Greens Cookbook: Extraordinary Vegetarian Cuisine From The Celebrated Restaurant

By Deborah Madison, Edward Espe Brown
Bantam - 1987

Leek and Mustard Pie : page 245

Very good and appreciated by everyone at table. Serves 4 nicely.
- Made this with gruyère and it was very pleasing. Would be happy to try goat cheese next
- I use my own pie crust, Judith Jones' Tart Dough, frozen then blind-baked as Madison suggests.

The cooking time is not given; my tart was nicely done after about 45min.

Sorrel-Onion Tart : page 244

This was good enough, but should be better.

- We found it very buttery. Think I might cook the onions in olive oil, rather than butter. I did reduce the amount of butter here, but not enough.

- If I do this again, I don't think I'd cook the sorrel at all. I like the sour taste of fresh sorrel. (It goes well with an eggy-creamy mixture. Try some sliced sorrel wrapped in an omelet.) After it's cooked down, not much of the sparkly flavor remains.

Winter Squash Tart : page 246

I've made this tart a number of times. It's portable and always a hit.
- I use my own pie crust, Judith Jones' Tart Dough, frozen then blind-baked as Madison suggests.
- I do all the mixing in my food processor. Easy and less clean-up.
