October 19, 2017

We had a guest taster today.  Her name is Audrey and we hope that she will join us in cooking recipes and then critiquing them.

Ruby used Week Night Wonders cookbook.

Page 32- Sweet and Savory Carrot Salad with Orange and Dates-(Front middle cup)-  recipe was easy to follow, not expensive to make and taste was a unanimous GOOD.  Audrey suggested using baby carrots instead of full grown carrots for a more consistant taste.

Page 68- Shot Gun Wedding Soup-(Left Back blue and white bowl)-  easy to follow, not expensive and tatse a unanimous VERY GOOD.   Audrey suggested that the spinach leaves be cut in bite size pieces and I agree with that.

Page 283-Two Minute Coconut Sherbert-(front left cup)- easy to follow, not expensive and taste was not unanimous.  Ruby said WOW, Audrey said VERY GOOD and I said GOOD.

Ruby will use this cookbook again, she really likes it.

I used The Complete America Test Kitchen TV Show Cookbook.

Page 301-Pasta Alla Norina-(bak right bowl)- easy to follow, not expensive and taste was a unanimous VERY GOOD.

Page 416-Beef Empanadas-(back middle dish)- easy to follow, not expensive and taste was not unanimous.  Ruby said VERY Good, Audrey said VERY GOOD and I said GOOD.  Audrey liked it because it was not so spicy, I said it needed more spice.

Page 477- Indian Flatbread-(front right dish)- easy to follow, not expensive and taste was not unanimous.  Ruby said WOW, Audrey said VERY GOOD and I said VERY GOOD.  You need to plan ahead if you want to amke this recipe and I would add a litttle salt.  

I would use this cookbook again.
