About me: I love cooking, I love eating, I love discovering new recipes. I have so many cookbooks I sometimes lose track of which recipe is where - though this site helps a bit. I have gone low-carb in 2010, so that's different recipes to explore again. This also means I may not agree with my own reviews anymore if they were written in 2009 or before. ------------------ I have a lovely husband and ten-year old twins who also love eating. ----------------- You can also find me on LibraryThing, BookMooch and EatYourBooks, using the same handle.

Colorful - that is, very orange sauce with pink salmon. It tasted fine but not spectacular.

Meatballs flavored with nutmeg and garlic and stewed with some vegetables and a splash of wine. This recipe does not look spectacular, but boy, is it delicious. Everybody licked their plate clean, and then they scraped the pan. Easy to make and no weird ingredients. A keeper, for sure!

These were very good. I would have liked to taste the saffron more though.
