How To Cook Everything: Simple Recipes for Great Food

Wiley - 2006

2nd November 2009

Basic Pesto : page 765

I have made the Basic Pesto, Cilantro Pesto, and Parsley Pesto – all very good basic recipes.

Basic Quinoa : page 195

I didn’t care for quinoa. It was a bit bitter. The recipe suggests serving with pesto which I think would help.

Basic Wild Rice : page 215

I made it with brown rice. A very good side dish, especially with lots of butter.

Broccoli Raab with Sausage and Grapes : page 545

I cooked this as a main dish. It was good – interesting combination of flavors – spicy, sweet, and tart.

Cold Cucumber and Dill Soup : page 79

This was a delicious summer dish. I would either add more cream or less – depending on your taste for creaminess.

Pork Chops : page 457

I made the Pork Chops with Mustard. It was very good but still a little dry. I think it needed a little bit more liquid.
