This Sunday’s entry is my first major attempt at Indian food. I used recipes from Classical Indian Cooking by Julie Sahni at page 332 and the Bombay Café cookbook by Neela Paniz at pages 11, 16, 59, and 196. I needed specific Indian spices and ingredients, so I went to a local Indian market to […]

For this Sunday, I made Mario Batali’s standard pasta recipe with two different sauces. The recipes are on pages 200 and 206 of his Molto Italiano cookbook. The first sauce was a red sauce with sausage, basil, and sun dried tomatoes. The second sauce was a lemon, hot pepper, and Pecorino Romano sauce. The longest […]

For this week, I am posting about Thursday’s Thanksgiving Dinner. I made a turkey and gravy, stuffing, souffle potatoes, and green beans. The recipe for the turkey and gravy came from James Beard award winning chef Tom Colicchio. I seasoned the bird with thyme, tarragon, rosemary, and sage, and basted it several times while cooking. […]

This week’s entry is rib eye from Sunday Suppers at page 260. Suzanne Goin says this dish was inspired by Julia Child’s steak recipe. This is the recipe that I have made the most often. Everyone in my family loves it. Suzanne recommends that you turn off your smoke alarms before making this dish. I […]

Today’s pork chop recipe comes from Lucques’s Sunday Suppers at page 318. Rockenwagner’s signature white asparagus recipe is in his cookbook at page 48. The romesco sauce is a mixture of chiles, nuts, bread, tomatoes, garlic, parsley, and some other ingredients, and Suzanne Goin uses it in a number of her recipes. I don’t like […]

This Sunday’s dish is lamb shanks with couscous from Hamersley’s page 228. While the name says the dish is “spicy,” it wasn’t that spicy. I used the Moroccon spice ras el hanout that we brought back from a trip from Morocco. The spice had lost some of its flavor because it was not kept in […]

When I asked my grandpa what he would like me to make for Sunday Supper, he said he would like prime rib, potatoes boulangere, and haricots verts.  I didn’t know what potatoes boulangere was so I had to find a recipe online.  The dish’s name translates as potatoes from the baker.  These potatoes originated in […]

This Sunday Supper recipe can be found in Mastering the Art of French Cooking by Julia Child at page 221.  This dish is considered to be very hard to make, so if this is your first time cooking, I would not try it.  Most of the things required to make this recipe are basic French […]

The recipes for this Sunday Supper entry can be found in the Elements of Taste on pages 58 and 100.  The tamarind glazed flank steak had a nice tart flavor and the salsa helped balance it out by adding sweetness.  The cauliflower fricasse was creamy and used a nice mix of spices.  The texture of […]

The recipe for this elegant cookie recipe can be found in the Flour Cookbook at page 143.  The orange juice and sesame seeds make this a very different kind of cookie.  It is a light cookie that is very thin.  Instead of making many individual cookies, I decided to make one big cookie.  After the […]
