Link Stew is my collection of interesting recipes and cooking related articles for March 21:
- pita bread from smitten kitchen
- miniature soft pretzels from smitten kitchen
- Cinnamon Bread from All Recipes. Made this for snack at my son’s kindergarten and it got rave reviews. Handy ingredients and not too sweet.
- Thomas Keller’s Slow-Cooker Cassoulet from Williams-Sonoma. My husband say this on the cover and demanded I make it. It’s now one of our favorite dishes ever.
- Slow Cooker to Dutch Oven Conversion from Cooking in Cast Iron. Aha! The solution to my lack of a slow cooker in creating the cassoulet! “A recipe that is cooked on the low setting in your slow cooker will take about a quarter as long in a Dutch oven in a 325-degree oven (if it cooks for 8 hours on low, it will take two to three hours in the Dutch oven). A recipe that is cooked on high setting will take about half as long. But remember, that’s only an estimate, so leave yourself a little extra time.”
- How to Read a Wine Label from the Wall Street Journal
- Peanut Butter Crispy Bars from Nosh With Me. These look yummy!
- No-Knead Bread from the New York Times and recommended by a person in my mothers club.
Enjoy! And to quote the masters, “Happy Cooking.”
Any recipes I try, I’ll post about later with annotations and suggestions.
