Anyone got the Smitten Kitchen recipe book?

[VivaLeBeaver]

I found the blog last week and the recipes look great so have ordered the book.

Any recommendations for what to try first from it? I've done the choc chip cookies already (from the blog) and they are amazing!

I don't have it but I think the cookery book club thread 'did' it - in April maybe?
Lemon bars were a big hit, IIRC.

Ah, will have to look for that cookery book thread. Thanks.

Here's the link viva as this was the first month so not named very explicitly. The SK cookbook was a big hit so there is a lot of chat about the recipes!

Broccoli fritters were delicious and the broccoli slaw :)

Viva if you're new to that site you have zillions of great recipes to go on in her archives! Personal favourites are lemon yoghurt anything cake, roasted cauli, chocolate tart with ginger snap crust, caramel salé sauce...mmmmmm hungry now!

Thanks or the link and ideas.

The books turned up and I'm also picking out some recipes from the site. Currently doing blue cheese scallion scones. They smell amazing.

I did the cinnamon French toast. It was OK, the DC weren't esp keen on the custards it so next time I will make it without, ie just toast the bread with the cinnamon sugar on.

Ooh on the scone front, her North Fork Inn scone recipe, which uses yoghurt, is AMAZING and very customisable.

Popcorn cookies are great and a big hit with children. Wholewheat ricotta scones are lovely, but I slit them and had them with jam (I think they are meant to be eaten unaccompanied). Also loved the whole lemon bars.

From her blog, potato chip cookies are divine. The mustard roast potatoes are also excellent.
