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 >

Vegetarian Suppers from Deborah Madison's Kitchen

By Deborah Madison
Broadway - 2005

This was a decided hit. Very tasty. Easy to assemble, if a bit messy with lots of bowls for this's and thats. As suggested, I made the the Salsa Cruda (without Avocado) on p118.
My tortillas never got crispy, but that wasn't really a problem.
Used my own Pickled Onion recipe, which is somewhat similar to Madison's, but includes a slog of tabasco.
Anyhow, a very tasty and satisfying meal.

Cabbage and Leek Gratin : page 18

Cabbages and leeks. Sounds like something really simple. Yes, but very tasty and very satisfying. I made the plain recipe. Will reheat the leftovers topped with some grated gruyère, which I happen to have in the fridge wanting to be use. Definitely a do-me-again recipe.

A nice, tasty meal.

- My pasillas were moldy (argh!) and then I found my guajillos were moldy (oh no!). So I used anchos.
- I forgot to stir in the crema (aka crème fraîche) so I just blopped it on top and we stirred it in at the table.
- I completely forgot the avocado, which I'd set aside just for this.
- The recipe is meant for four, but two of us ate it all as a one-dish meal. And enjoyed it very much.

Will definitely try this again when I've restocked my dried chiles.

Onion and Rosemary Tart with Fromage Blanc : page 9

Pretty good. DH liked a lot. I thought the onions were strange. They were cooked slow for 30 minutes, so starting to get sweet, but not quite caramelized, and still a bit crunchy. I'd rather cook them faster, till soft, and skipping that sweet taste. Fromage blanc and eggs made a nice custard.

"Serves 4 generously". I'd guess so, because a half recipe served two very generously. Generously and well.
