February 2009 COTM: A New Way to Cook by Sally Schneider

[MMRuth]

Welcome to the links thread for the February 2009 Cookbook of the Month. You may wish to bookmark this thread for future reference, as it contains links to all the other threads for these cookbooks.

Instead of having another thread for general discussion, recipe planning, links, and previous picks and pans, let's use this one. I'll copy over the links posted earlier, as well as some additional ones. Others are welcome of course to post more links.

Here are the links for the threads for the full length recipe reviews.

I recommend her earlier book, Improvisational Cook, too--not only inspirational, it has a lot of v. good recipes.

A thread started awhile back by The Dairy Queen on Sally Schneider http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/564742#4103877

Also, her website with some recipes, http://www.anewwaytocook.com/Pages/AN...

So, I think I'm going to try that corn soup again tonight. http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/5647...

Which recipes are calling to everyone else?

Tonight I've planned to make a pasta dish with garlic, and anchovies, fried in EVOO with red pepper flakes. I think it's on page 58 or there abouts... It's really a good ole aglio olio but I want to see what's diffferent in her version. I probably will add the sage she mentions as a variation. Monday night is usually macaroni night here but I wanted to do something other than a red sauce. One of her salads will finish the meal.

[The Dairy Queen]

Oooh, that sound weeknight worthy! I can't wait to hear how you like it!

BTW: The recipe is on page 124.. not the page I posted. I'll report on the COTM thread ASAP.... the dish was Very Tasty!!

Well, I mentioned in the other thread that I wanted to make the turkey burgers, but I'll probably wing it on how much of the apple mixture needs to go in. I'm thinking those will be great with sweet potato fries (my favorite!)! I also want to make the baked beans at some point. I also am intrigued by her use of ancho chiles in smoking, so I might have to talk the husband about doing that at some point.

[The Dairy Queen]

Oh, I just bought some lean ground turkey (on sale) and popped it in the freezer. Maybe I should defrost that for tomorrow. I love sweet potato fries--I agree, it sounds like they would go perfectly!
