We tasted 6 recipes this month.
 

Barbara used Anne Burrell-Own Your Kitchen.

Zucchini Quick Bread on page 139:  easy to follow recipe, not expensive and taste was GOOD.  I found it to be a bit to sweet for my taste and not necessarily quick- you have to chop the nuts, zest and juice the lemon and grate the zucchini.

I also used the Family Cookbook.

Spinach Ricotta Cannelloni: easy to follow recipe, expensive and taste was NOTHING SPECIAL.  the cheese was $20.00 a pound and filling the tubes was hard.

Eggplant Stuffed with Goat Cheese, Pine Nuts and Apricots: easy to follow recipe, expensive and taste was NOTHING SPECIAL.   Too many ingredients that clashed with each other.

I like this book and am thinking of purchasing it.  It has a picture of each recipe and and covers recipes from newborns to adults.  The only drawback is that a lot of the recipe measurements are in ounces, which means I would have to purchase ascale.

Ruby used The Brooklyn Cookbook.

Dee Dee Dailey's Pigeon Peas and Rice: easy to follow recipe, not expensive and tase was GOOD.

Oatmeal Cookies: easy to follow recipe, not expensive and taste was VERY GOOD.

Ruby also used Casseroles for a Crowd.

Sweet Potato Casserole: easy to follow recipe, not expensive and taste was WOW.
