New recipe, May 2, 2024

Strawberry Rhubarb Spritz from Epicurious. Something else to do with our rhubarb! We like the flavors, and it is a tad sweet for our taste. We would try it with a little more lemon juice, and also try reducing the amount of sugar in the rhubarb syrup to keep the flavors but reduce the sweetness a bit. We give it a 3 as made.

New recipe, May 1, 2024

Casarecce with Sausage Pickled Cherries and Pistachios from Food and Wine. This recipe comes from Top Chef's Tom Colicchio. The pickled cherries bring a brightness to this dish that really makes it shine. We give this a 5.

New recipes, April 28, 2028

I missed taking the photo. The new recipes are Salt Cured Duck with Fava Beans and Sweet Peas from Food and Wine, and Cherry Tomato Caesar Salad from NYT Cooking. The Duck is flavorful but oversalted. Our breasts were more like 1/2# than 1#, so it may be that they should have been in the salt for an hour instead of 2. We give it a 3 as made. The salad is a nice twist on the Caesar salad and we give it a 4.
