33 minutes ago, Anna N said:Dorie Greenspan‘s, Everyday Dorie, is a puzzlement. We, here on eG, are generally huge fans of Dorie but I can find only one recipe from this, her latest book, in the forum—This prepared by @blue_dolphin. Has Dorie lost her appeal?
I borrowed the ebook of Everyday Dorie from the library back in April but didn't to a ton of cooking from it before I had to return it, mostly because I had a big hand bandage at the time. In addition to those salmon burgers, which I thought were a good way to use up scrap salmon but not my first recipe choice for a nice piece of fish, I also shared the Lower East Side Tart in this post. I made the soy sauce-cured egg yolks that were to go on some sticky rice but forgot about them in the fridge so I never ate them. I saved the recipe for the unfortunately named "Lemon Goop" that she serves over scallops and also recipes for corn chowder and pimento cheese.
I think it's a very approachable, easy to cook from book but many of the recipes already exist, sometimes in more appealing versions, in other books in my collection. I don't need another recipe for Miso Salmon.
I might borrow it again for another look but at the time, I decided not to invest.
Edited to add that this statement:
Quotemany of the recipes already exist, sometimes in more appealing versions, in other books in my collection
hasn't necessarily stopped me from buying other books 🙃
