Khoresh Rivas (Savory Rhubarb and Bean Stew) from NYT Cooking. The combination of flavors in Persian food is not quite like other cuisines we have cooked, and it uses large amounts of herbs. This is pleasant, with the flavors not so much layered as combining into a single flavor. We would have preferred a little more variation from bite to bite. We give this a 3. >

Yum Goong (Thai Shrimp and Lychee Salad), from Food and Wine. Since we didn’t have fresh lychees in H-Mart, we used longans. The flavor are really good. We give this a 4.

Cooking with Petra and Brett. We have three recipes from Ottolenghi’s Simple, and one from his Sweet. Hot Charred Tomatoes with Cold Yogurt, Roasted Butternut Squash with Lentils and Gorgonzola, and Beef Sirloin and Basil Salad are from Simple. We give the tomatoes a 5, the salad and squash get a 4. The Rhubarb and Blueberry Galette is absolutely delicious, and gets a 5!
