RUBY

The Family Table, Recipes and Moments from a Nomadic Life

Page 31- Dad's Cuban Picadilla- easy to follow, not expensive and taste was NOTHING SPECIAL, the olives overwhelmed the palette

Page 58- Green Pea Gnocchi with Parmesan White Wine Sauce- easy to follow, not expensive and taste was GOOD.  Ruby would use a lighter sauce for the gnocchi.

Page 68- Pull Off the Bone Slow Cooked Ribs- easy to follow, not expensive and taste was GOOD.  Ruby said the ribs were good but nothing to WOW about.

Overall Ruby said she would use this book again.

I used Betty Crocker Come Home to Dinner

Page 11- Oriental Pork Soup- easy to follow, not expensive and taste was GOOD.  I would use a little less Soy Sauce.  This tasted better the second day.

Page 29- Creamy Leek and Potato Soup- easy to follow, not expensive and taste was GOOD.  This also tasted much better the second day.

Page 204- Chocolate Rice Pudding- easy to follow, not expensive and taste was NOTHING SPECIAL.  Not enough chocolate to be called chocolate rice pudding.

All the recipes were done in a crockpot.

I would use this book again.
