I like making complicated meals. Since I didn’t start cooking, really cooking, until I was about 22, I feel like I’m kind of making up for it by learning how to make things like pork tenderloin and Russian Borscht and beer-glazed salmon and the like. I like the effort that goes into making a meal that people say, “Wow, you made this yourself? It must have taken forever.
That being said, using this cookbook was like a marathoner running a 5k Fun Run. It was still cooking, but holy crap was my life easier. All three recipes I made were good, and they took minimal time. One of them, later in the week, was Dennis’ new Best Thing I’ve Ever Made. And most importantly, all three of them were eaten by a 10-year-old with no complaining. I call that a successful cookbook.
The ingredient combination on this one is probably going to sound really weird, but, as I always say, you’re going to have to trust me.
