I got gift links for thems that are interested in any
The porcini ragù sounds amazeballz — but I love all things shrooms, and especially porcini — whereas they couldn’t possibly have posted a less appealing picture of Dubai chocolate. Hurp
The chicken Florentine also looks great and — being a chicken recipe, it was already in my recipe box
I did find several other Chicken Florentine recipes from elsewhere that I’ve printed off; I’d like to compare against the NYT version. But I have a large container of baby spinach at home, so this is sounding good right now!
I have an account with the NYT, but I don’t have a subscription. HOWEVER…I did just try and saved the gift links you sent to my recipe box and it worked; will be interesting to see if they stay visible to me down the road or if they go away after a time.
HA! I don’t feel so bad now. OTOH, we do have a few in our favorites folder, like the Trini-Chinese chicken, the baby bok choy with oyster sauce (in fact, coming up again FD tonight ), and the Peruvian chicken. The lemony shrimp and bean stew is also a repeat dish.
But I really, really, realllllly should branch out more. Maybe next year I’ll do a better job at trying at least ONE new recipe a week, as was the intention for 2025 and, I believe 2024.
For the first time ever, I don’t think I’ve made anything on this list. I’m not sure if that’s a reflection of the NYT, or simply our aging out of complicated cooks for dinner. Probably some of both. In any case:
Eh, life happens. If the food tastes good, that’s 95% of it.
I used to cook 5-6 nights a week, lately it’s more like 1-2 a week. My SO is more into meat-and-potato dishes so I’ve gone back to old favorites. The few I did cook from NYT Cooking were mostly mushroom dishes, as well as chicken pot pie.
In the new year I’m planning to make more traditional Irish food.
