Dinner: Changing the Game
By Melissa Clark, Eric Wolfinger
Clarkson Potter - 2017
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.

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.)

My Master Recipes: 165 Recipes to Inspire Confidence in the Kitchen *With Dozens of Variations*
By Patricia Wells
William Morrow Cookbooks - 2017
This was an interesting idea, but didn't quite work. Made a half recipe. Unlike every other clafoutis I've made, there was no flour or such in the batter to help the custard set up; I added a rounded quarter cup of flour, which was probably a bit too much, but worked ok. I baked in the toaster over, and it seems the temperature was a bit high. since the chorizo bits on top were quite burned on the high side. The sweet, soft onions on the bottom seemed to clash with the rest of the dish. Edible, but nothing special.

Vegetable Harvest: Vegetables at the Center of the Plate
By Patricia Wells
William Morrow Cookbooks - 2007
We enjoyed this (a whole recipe) as a vegetarian main. Tarted it up at table with some ground red pepper flakes.
We thought it would be good as a side for a bbq or a pot luck meal.

A pretty good and easy (and not too messy to make) tomato sauce with a good texture. It needed a bit more salt at table, and some ground red pepper flakes were nice too.

Mediterranean Hot and Spicy
By Aglaia Kremezi
Clarkson Potter - 2009
Made a halfish recipe with tuna.
Ed thought the sauce was too strong for the tuna; but it was good over the orzo I served as a side.
The times given for cooking tuna rare are much too long.

We really liked this. It was easy to make and can be put together in steps as other things are happening.
I had a yellow bell pepper needing to be used so that stood in place of one of the three red bell peppers, making the dish even more colorful.
I made a whole recipe, which was really enough for four as a side. Served on sucrine (baby romaine) leaves.
Very tasty and pretty.

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.

The Top One Hundred Pasta Sauces
By Diane Seed, Robert Budwig
Ten Speed Press - 2004
Made a half recipe for two. Tasty and fast.
- Used some whole wheat penne-like pasta.
- It might be nice to cut the zuke differently. Maybe in thicker slices, then into matchsticks.
- A sprinkle of red pepper flakes on the sautéing zukes might be nice.
- Mozzarella melting from the pasta heat -- ha! I've never done this that didn't end up with a chewy white mass in the pan. In this case, it "dissolved" when I added the egg and zuke. Magic.
A nice, easy dish.

Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking
By Marcella Hazan
Knopf - 1992
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 wedges.
Might be nice to add some red pepper flakes with the sautéing onions/carrots/etc.
