Korean Short Ribs of Beef with Ginger from Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Recipes for Entertaining

This is SO EASY and SO DELICIOUS. My only criticism is that it calls for more sesame seed oil than I personally like (that's 2 T. - I would probably do half that at least). I do skim off the oil and concentrate... read more >

Chez Geraud's Giant Shrimp Grilled With Brittany Sea Salt : page 164

Easy (don't have to peel)! Fast (as long as you remember to marinate the shrimp in oil and thyme)! Delicious (even non-seafood eaters ask for the recipe)! Makes frozen shrimp taste almost like fresh! I make this when I treat myself and buy the large Costco shrimp (11 per lb). It's also fine with 16/20 per lb. This one recipe is worth the price of this cookbook.

When the mood hits for Poulet basquaise, this certainly fills the need.

This makes the best split pea soup I've ever had, IMHO. What really makes it unusual is the addition of cloves to bay leaves, parsley, thyme, and marjoram. Simplicity itself in the crock pot. A leftover ham bone, a large can of chicken broth, a lb of split peas, plus herbs.

Mistral's Chicken with Garlic (Poulet Mistral le Prieure) : page 179

I need to make this again before I upgrade this to excellent. I remember this to be very very good. 40 gloves of garlic - I make this when I buy the jars of peeled garlic - a whole lot less work. But jarred garlic can start to smell quickly once it's opened. Hint addenda: my sister-in-law says freezing the garlic works well.
