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 >

Anchovy Chicken with Lemon and Capers : page 46

Very good.
I had 500g of sb chicken thighs, almost a whole recipe and the two of us easily finished it all.
Garlic is almost a vegetable here.
Quick and yummy.

Harissa Chicken with Leeks, Potatoes and Yogurt : page 51

I made this off the web and it was fantastic. (I apparently have this book. Where is it hiding?)

4.5 even.
These were delicious. The title is odd, since sumac is an option garnish, not a part of the recipe proper. I made a half recipe; it took the full amount of ice water to get the tahini sauce anywhere close to drizzle-ability. (But it was very tasty.)

Anchovy Lamb Chops with Capers and Garlic : page 76

These were very good. Small problems with the recipe itself.
- For four people, the recipe asks for 4 lamb chops. Don't you usually have three or four per person?
- My chops would have been happier cooked 2.5 minutes per side, rather than 3 and 5.
- Would be better to finely chop the anchovy fillets to help with their dissolving into the sauce.
Altogether very nice. The lemon juice was not something I would expect with lamb, but the sauce was good.

Pan-Fried Asparagus with Lemon Zest : page 376

Very good.
The asparagus didn't get done in 5 minutes. In the end, I added bits of water and covered for another 5min or so.
