Dinner was not entirely the amazing taste treat I was hoping for. The roasted sweet potatoes were wonderful. The asparagus salad with shallot lemon dressing was amazing. What I expected to be the best part - the scallops - were underwhelming. They were plump and pretty. They should have been briny and sweet, but they were almost tasteless. And for what I paid - that is a crime. I don't usually complain to a store about this sort of thing, but this time I may have to.
The asparagus salad almost made up for it. I have never made a salad of raw asparagus and this was delicious. i found the recipe in a book I bought about cooking for one person.
At the time I was hoping for a book that would help me cook once a week and recreate all week - basically eating well with no effort. This book does not tell you how to do that. But now I am ready to actually make delicious meals for myself and this book is terrific. And it follows the format that I am so in favor of now - it is organized by season.
Happy cooking to all.
