But, Alice Waters let me down! In attempting to be more of a vegetarian, I went to Simple Food where I expected to find a mouth watering recipe for a vegetable broth rather than chicken or beef. No help from Alice, but she steered me towards reading about Court Bouillon which I found interesting. So I looked to see if Julia had a recipe for Court Bouillon; sure enough. Then, Irma; sure enough. (And both had a recipe for vegetable broth, as well). Since I have salmon in the frig waiting to be cooked, and when I saute it over high heat I dislike the odor, I decided to poach it in CB. This will be a first.
i've had the same frustration with Simple Food, what is has is great, but it's a limited selection of recipes, some basics, but not all the basics. But I've loved so many things i've made from there- cranberry upsidedown cake (beautiful and easy) and the sugar/butter cookies are truly the best i've ever eaten in my life. The panna cotta was also great, but very very rich. I'll be interested to read your findings, what a great multi-generational project!
