Hi Andrea,
ReplyDeleteSome beautiful choices! It's a testament to the book that we're down to the last thirty recipes and everything is still as tempting as the choices for our first post.
I'll make at least two of these:
Potatoes and „deconstructed pesto“ (page 222)
White bean salad with tomatoes and red onions (page 240)
DIY „pot“ noodles (page 248) OR Curried Mushroom pot (page 248)
I hope there are some signs of spring showing up for everyone! We've got snowdrops, with crocuses on the way.
Teresa, thank you for your timely response...I must admit to being delighted that there are quite a few "gems" still left in th ebook - I did try my best to "keep a few" for the last moths, hope I succeeded!
DeleteAll the best and Happy February cooking with the CCC!
Andrea
Hi gurls,
ReplyDeleteWhat can I substitute the pecorino with? I need to consult the book first before deciding! And I just bought some feta on Sunday!
Dear Emily, feel free to substitute any cheese of your liking (or what you have on hand). As long as it "behaves well" on a tart - you are allright...All in the spirit of "Love your Leftovers", of course!
DeleteThank you for your question!
There is still ample time to decide!
Andrea
Ypu are quite welcome, Emily!
Deleteps: #5 is definitely out of my list though....
ReplyDeleteLove the sound of #2, #3, #6, #7, #8 & #9 ~ let's see what I end up making!
DeleteSounds good, Emily! And thank you!
DeleteAndrea
I made the rough puff pastry, not much layering though. But at least I made rough puff pastry! LOL!
DeleteEmily, I shall post a P´s and Q´s today - your comment just reminded me to do that! Thank you!
DeleteHi Andrea! What a great selection! I'm glad to finally be starting with the group! I hope to make the Sweet Potato & Peanut Gratin, the Apple & Blue Vinnie Toasties, and the White Bean Salad with Tomato and Onion! : )

Wonderful choices again, Andrea!! We'll see what I "really" get up to, but I would like to make at least:
ReplyDelete3. Mushroom ragout with soft polenta (page 57)

And any kind of toastie is always worthwhile!!
Candy, sounds good to me! Thank you!
DeleteHi Andrea,
ReplyDeleteI plan to make at least the apple & blue cheese toastie and the DIY Noodles. I'll try for the pasties or the lasagne if I have time. It's a short month! Happy February!
Betsy, hope you will enjoy your choices! Thank you!
DeleteHi Andrea and CCC friends, I also plan to prepare the apple and blue cheese toastie, along with perhaps rutabaga and potato pasties, and see how it goes from there. See you soon. XXOO
