For the month of October, I used Cooking for Two (America's Test Kitchen) and I must say I was surprised. Usually when a cookbook recipe says it feeds two, in my case, it only feeds one person. This cookbook really had recipes that would feed two generously. I really like this book.
I did Chicken Potpie with Savory Crumble Topping on page 31-32- it was easy to follow, not expensive and taste was VERY GOOD. I would probably tweek it next time by omitting the lemon juice, and omit the shallots by substituting pearl onions one stuffed with cloves, add some sherry and increase the sauce by half again.
Beef Taco Casserole on page 49- easy to prepare, not expensive and taste was VERY GOOD. I would probably add some taco sauce with the Rotel, not to much and do not put the Tostitos on the casserole until ready to bake.
Spring Vegetable Pasta on page 87-88- easy to follow, not expensive and taste was GOOD. I would use less leeks and add artichokes.
Ruby did At the Blanchard's Table
Chewy Oatmeal-Raisin Cookies- easy to Follow, not expensive and taste WOW.
Homemade Coconut Ice Cream- easy to follow, not expensive and taste was WOW.
Lemon Pound Cake two ways- easy to follow, not expensive and taste was WOW.
Caribbean Corn Bread- easy to follow, not expensive and taste was WOW.
Ruby says she loves this book and told her husband that she wants it for her birthday.
