One of our 2013 food resolutions is to be better about our "cookbook project." To refresh, the cookbook project is where A and I take turns (since our kitchen isn't big enough for both of us) picking recipes out of our many cookbooks and trying them out, and then write about our results. Our goal has always been to do at least one per month but we've never done more than 2 in a calendar year. But ever since we decided to do this, we've always done January! (See the cookbook project write-ups for 2012 and 2011.)
For tonight I picked out two recipes - white bean, escarole and meatball soup and roasted fingerling potatoes - thinking that they would be great for a wintry January night. It didn't turn out to be as cold as we expected but the dishes still turned out pretty good. When I planned out the kitchen time, it was supposed to take a little over 2 hours, but I am so slow and out of practice that it took about 3.5 hours to finish the entire project. But it was very fulfilling when it was done! Write-ups to come.
