Cook's Illustrated, Revisited
I get a subscription to Cook's Illustrated, the magazine. If you haven't been exposed to it, this magazine/reference is a collection of recipes that the Cook's kitchen has tested and tried to determine what is the best method of cooking. Also, it has fun tips for cooking and kitchen stuff- like how to keep fresh herbs fresh (cut them up, freeze them in ice cube trays with a little water) and what is the best type of grill pan on the market, for instance.
I've been feeling that this magazine is an untapped resource in my apartment I don't use it as a recipe collection, like a cookbook, but use it as leisure reading material. No Longer!!! I have made an agreement with myself (and marsh) that I/We will attempt one recipe from each issue, difficult or easy. This month, I will attempt, "Stuffed Porkchops" with the pinenut/spinach filling. Marsh will attempt "Avocado Dressing" Interested?
