About me: I collect cookbooks and love to cook and try new recipes. I tested recipes for Leite's Culinaria for almost eight years. I learned to cook from many good southern cooks including my Mom, Dad, several Aunts and my Grandmothers. My children and husband also like to cook and try new foods and recipes. My son still lives with us but our daughter is married. She often visits to cook with me. We are adventuresome eaters willing to try new things.

Everyday Dorie: The Way I Cook

By Dorie Greenspan
Rux Martin/Houghton Mifflin Harcourt - 2018

This was delicious. I know she says in the book not to use the good bourbon but all I had was Woodford Reserve so that's what I used. I marinated for about 8 hours in fridge. Loved the apples and onions with the pork.

My first recipe from Everyday Dorie, Herb-butter Chicken p. 123. So moist and delicious. My chicken was almost 6 1/2 pounds but was the smallest one I could find at my local market. I cooked for about an hour and half and it turned out perfect. My family and I almost devoured it.

While this was very good we thought the sauce lacked flavor. It needed some herbs. We added some fresh basil in our serving bowls. We also added some Parmesan. The meat balls were interesting with the addition of walnuts, and they did have herbs. I used fresh basil and thyme and dried oregano. i did omit the rosemary since son doesn't care for it.

Very good version of pimento cheese. I've made many different pimento cheese recipes and always use Dukes mayonnaise. I was afraid 3 tablespoons of mayo would make it to dry and it was a little but still a great pimento cheese.

I made a recipe and a half of this to feed my hungry family. I did omit the rosemary since couple members don't enjoy it and used baby bella mushrooms since we enjoy those more than white ones. I also got a little larger potatoes and cut most in quarters and some in half. Everything was delicious but the mushrooms with the olive oil and balsamic were our favorite part of the meal. I had too many ingredients to fit on one sheet pan so I used two and put veggies on one and the chicken on another.
