I am only familiar with the Chicken Marbella recipe. I had it twice. The
first time, my husband brought home leftovers from a party and it was
amazing. The second time, I tried to make it, and it wasn't as good.
I keep meaning to try it again.

Definitely the banana cake. It bears no resemblance at all to plain
old banana bread. This really makes a wonderful layer cake. I prefer
the lemon icing used for another cake in the book, and put sliced
bananas and strawberries in between and on top of the layers, but the
cream cheese frosting that goes with the cake recipe is good, too.

Just one?
We love the chicken mirabella and the pesto recipe is my go to one. The
lentil soup and the potato cheese soup get made every winter.

The ham & avocado salad with lemon viniagrette.
The sausage-stuffed french loaf is a close second.

You're making me wish I hadn't given mine away.

I like the pureed sweet potato and carrot side dish - it's a little on
the soupy side but the taste is fabulous. Also, the fruit-stuffed pork
loin. I'll have to try the banana cake - I have a great recipe for
banana bread already.

There is a fried chicken with lemon dish I really liked. I've never made
it, but was served it. It is intensely lemony and has like 2 cups of lemon
juice in it!
The one that comes to mind combines wild rice, and other rices (I
think plural--I'd have to look), raisins, nuts... Also, banana bread.

The salmon mousse, in the first book. Damn, that stuff is addictive!!

It was several years ago, and I'd like to think that my cooking
instincts have only improved over time, so I think yes, I will be trying
this again soon for sure. I almost always have olives and prunes around
too.
Maybe this weekend if the weather stays cool - 70s as opposed to 90s....
We are going to a football game on Saturday. I could marinate it in the
morning and have for dinner after the game.

I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.
I think the original uses bone-in chicken. The major difference is I
think this one is scaled down.

Thanks, I found the original recipe at Big Oven.

My husband likes "white" potato salad, so I do a variation of their recipe.
Scandinavian Potato Salad
Yield: 4 servings
8-9 new potatoes (about 1 pound)
1/4 teaspoon salt
Freshly grated pepper
1 cup sour cream
1/3 cup chopped red onion
1/3 cup chopped fresh dill
Procedure:
1. Scrub potatoes with soft brush under running water. Quarter them and
drop into large, heavy pot of cold, salted water. Bring to boil and cook
until tender but still firm, 8-10 minutes after the water returns to
boiling.
2. When potatoes are done, drain and remove them to mixing bowl.
3. Season with salt and pepper to taste; add sour cream to the still-hot
potatoes and toss gently. Add onion and dill, toss again and cool to
room temperature before refrigerating at least 4 hours.
4. Before serving, toss again, correct seasoning and add more sour cream
if salad seems dry.

I use that lemon glaze for the banana cake. It is wonderful on it.

I can't tell you how good that sounded to me, so I looked up the
recipe.

Notice what the USDA says about washing chicken and bacteria.

Interestingly, I grew up just a few miles away from Saugatuck. It was
the Sausalito of Michigan back then.

I wash my chicken. I have heard that people don't and I just don't get
it. If you drop it on the floor does that mean if you cook it to 165
it's ok??
An overnight soak it straight lemon juice seems like a really long time
to me - doesn't the lemon "cook" the chicken?

Nope, it's just exquisite.
I'm in Western Michigan too.
I was thinking of staying at the Wildwood Inn for a get-away with the
husband. Ever hear any reviews?
Kris
They can say what they like at the USDA, but I don't "splash bacteria
water all over the sink" when I wash chicken pieces, and thank you,
I'll keep on washing chicken the way I always have. I know how dirty
they are, and it doesn't matter if cooking properly kills "most"
harmful bacteria or not - who wants yuck on their chicken?
N.
Wonderful to see you again. I hope all is well with you and the lads.

Second hand bookstores or library sales shelves usually have at least
one copy, or go to your library and photocopy the recipes that interest you.

It makes sense to me. Washing splashes the bacteria around (it's not
easy to wash a chicken without splashing), then you've got it all over
the place instead of just on your hands and the chicken.
>If you drop it on the floor does that mean if you cook it to 165

Are you in the habit of dropping chicken on the floor? I can't say I
ever have. If I did, I'd run it under water to remove any stray dirt
or animal hairs but I wouldn't kid myself about removing bacteria.

Giusi said it was lemony, so the lemon must permeate the meat somehow.

Unfortunately, I have no family left there anymore and I've lost track
of any childhood friends who might be in the area. Looking at the
Wickwood Inn website, it's a chance I'd gladly take. The rooms are
pretty and their prices are reasonable. Midweek rates are even
better.
Tripadvisor.com is a reliable web site. Look for the most recent

It is. Tell me if you like it too!
FYI, I just coarsely chopped the ham & avocado into cube when i did
it. IIRC the recipe tells you to arrange the slices, etc. I thought
the recipe was easier my way. :)
Kris
Thank you for the input. That's kinda what I was thinking too.
Looks like a true foodie B&B!
Kris
No I don't normally drop chicken, but the question still stands. If you
drop it will you wash it or not?
I understand the whole concept - that the chicken juices get every
where. I am no neat freak, but I do know to be careful and not get raw
chicken everywhere.
I just like to wash my food before I eat it. It's not just about bacteria.

Apparently, that's not possible - even if you're careful.

The original cite was about the idea that washing takes care of
bacteria (E. coli), not visible schmutz.

So do I! It's on my "to do" list after Chicken Dijonnaise
(Silver Palate Cookbook) and Mediterranean Style Chicken with Spinach
and Rice.

Sometimes I do, if it comes already pretty clean, but usually I have to
pluck and singe to get small feathers and hair off, so what would be the
point after it had been in a steady gas flame? I think we often fool
ourselves about how much cleaning we accomplich when we run cold water over
fruits, berries, etc. and then eat them raw. I don't buy that we've done
anything but possibly remove some sand... which is a good thing!
