I visited their website today and was very impressed with their recipe
selection and I think you might be as well. I really got hungry when I
saw the recipe for bananas foster!! Each one has a picture of the
finished product and being a soup person, I was also impressed with
their collection of soup recipes. Check out this page, which this week
seems to focus on New Orleans. However, on the side are the various
other areas you can search out. Needless to say, as I type these
words, I am very hungry!!

LOLOL!! You could subtract the $200 marinador! Would $350 be doable?

SW,
I really do not like recipes that requires a lot of ingredients that
I don't have or usually do not need (and like you said, also the
gadgets to make certain elements with). I tend to choose recipes for
things I enjoy but is limited to five or six ingredients, Being a
lover of pasta dishes, I collect Italian cookbooks that have very
simple recipes and one of my favorites is Mr. Food Cooks Pasta. The
recipes are so simple that if you have dry pasta in the house, you no
doubt have the other things too. Having said that, I still love to
look at all kinds of recipes, especially with pics of the finished
products. I will never make them, but it is fun to read about them and
their preparation. If it is something that after having seen I want to
try desperately, I will usually try to find a good restaurant that
offers it (but it better be under $20...for the whole meal!)

I like simple.

Anthony

I have used some of their recipes lately and have had prepared some
really nice dishes. The latest one is a braised short rib recipe. I
believe they have it in the recipe to be prepared in a slow cooker, but
I've been making it in a dutch oven with great results. I have yet to
use a barolo wine as suggested in the recipe as I'm still too cheap to
use a $30 bottle of wine like that. Heck, we don't usually drink $30
bottles of wine. It does make up well with other red wines though.

I'll have to look that up, I saw some really nice short ribs at the store
the other day. If they still have them I'll give it a shot.
