Miss Dahl's Voluptuous Delights by Sophie Dahl
5.0
Delicious! I don't think I've ever read a cookbook cover to cover, but the chapter intros definitely make it worth the read. I also love that it is organized by seasons. The spring and summer chapters had my mouth watering, especially knowing that Farmer's Markets are popping up around now (one near our new house). But of course Dahl saved the best for last... the flourless chocolate cake alone makes the book worthwhile. (Don't worry mom, once the unpacking and arranging is done, this one is first on my to-do list. I'll try to save you a piece!)
Just an update...
I did finally make the flourless chocolate cake (back in January to be exact). It did not meet my mom's tough standards (I have another recipe for that), but Dave and I both loved it. Maybe I did something wrong, but it had a nice, brownie-like consistency and absolutely melts in your mouth.
The real winner so far is the cedar plank salmon. Maybe it's just the fact that Dave gets to set something on fire, but without this recipe I don't think I could get him to eat salmon. Simple and delicious.
