Stuffed Zucchini with spiced beef or lamb from Zaitoun

When it is zucchini time, it can be difficult to find something interesting. But this was both different and a total delight! Zucchini are scraped out and roasted. The "meat" from within the zucchini... read more >

Bon Appetit Weekend Entertaining: A Cookbook, Menu Planner & Entertaining Sourcebook for Occasions Large or Small, Casual or Elegant

By Bon Appetit Editors
Pantheon - 1999

This recipe bills itelf as a slaw-like salad. Everyone agreed that there were way too many onions. This late in the season radishes are not dependable, so we swapped them for raw beets. The dressing was too mild, and the overall taste was onion, onion, and more onion.

This recipe called for mixed greens, and gave a nice vinaigrette with an Italian flavor. Nothing too special, but completely acceptable.

Delicious and simple to make. 12 daughter prepared these for the family herself. She got an excellent seared crust - perfect! The interior was a bit soft, but I think that is the nature of the beast. All enjoyed it. Although I don't think I'd serve this to guests (the cookbook is designed for entertainment), it is something delicious that likely can be prepared from ingredients already on hand.

Excellent sauce, but the the meat didn't have the umpf I expect from 3 hours of marinading. We used local pork and herbs from our own garden. I might try this again, only amping up the herbs and possibly giving a longer marinade time.

Gooey top, flakey bottom, and coconut perfection.

This is a two-layered cookie, with a flour/butter/sugar bottom layer. This bottom layer is flakey, but not too dry. Perhaps a tad crumbly.

The upper layer has eggs, brown sugar, coconut cream, vanilla, etc. Baking is in two stages, and waiting to taste these is torture! The instruction caution you to put the topping on evenly (egg/sugar mixture poured over lower level with sweetened coconut sprinkled on it). Ours wasn't perfectly even - some places there was plain coconut showing - but baking evened it up.

No salt called for - so I sprinkled a bit on top. Next time I'll add more (maybe 1/2 tsp).

These are similar to only of my childhood favorites, called dream bars.
