Corrections + Additions to the Book!

It’s taken me a while to write this post for a few reasons. Firstly, because I had to gather the information and secondly because its actually quite painful to write! Unfortunately in all the back and forth between printing houses that kept getting shut down, due to corona, the wrong manuscript was sent to the final printer. Baruch HaShem it was only the third or second to last copy that was sent so the mistakes were extremely minimal at that point but still they are there! With tremendous blessings from the One Above, the book went into reprint so fast and so many times that we were not even able to correct some of these mistakes until the 5th or 6th printings!

Therefore any one of you that has the book up until now will most likely need to make these corrections on your pages.

At first I was distraught about this. I’m a perfectionist at heart and I was so upset by the errors that were printed. My guess is that this manuscript was read by myself and multiple editors well over 1,000 times before it went to print and most likely, that number is modest. If im being real with myself, I’m still not over it. I’ve just come to a place where I realize nothing is perfect and after to speaking so many other authors, cookbook and non-cookbook, I realize its just apart of the process. Lucky for me I only have to go through this once since like I keep saying even though no one believes me, this is a one and done!!!!

So get out your pens and books and lets do this together. If I mention a correction and you do not see it in your book then that means you got a later printing and can simply just skip it!

A few of the mistakes, are not really anything that effects the recipes, just bits of more information I wanted you to have! So Don’t get nervous if you see a recipe that you’ve already made and in fact, liked!

I hope this helps and of course, I apologize for any inconvenience that any mistake caused you!

IN PAGE ORDER:

PG 34- SALADE CUITE: chapter 1

10.5 lbs fresh tomatoes – should be 6, 54 oz cans (which is the same except cans usually come in 54 oz weights so this saves you the math!)

Add a note: alternatively you can use 20 large or 30 medium fresh tomatoes. Use a “thin skin” peeler to peel them. Then dice them. Throw them in the pan after the garlic slightly cooks and continue the recipe from there!

PG 76- Modernized Skirt Steak salad- chapter 2

Just a page reference typo!

pickled onions say pg 22.

Should say pg 26

PG 224- 15 MIN PREP CHILI: chapter 6

Remove second salt measurement

PG 230- STUFFED ARTICHOKES: chapter 6

Fix 3rd paragraph.

Should say:

Place eggs in one bowl and flour in another.

Dip each stuffed artichoke first in flour then in the egg.

Return to sheet pan.

PG 266- Stove top brisket: chapter 6

I cook this low and slow uncovered (mostly because always make this for the pesach seder and the pot I use doesn’t have a lid!). Some people want their brisket to be more liquid-y. If that’s you, add the following to your book:

cover the pot (5th to last line)

PG 392- Moroccan short bread cookies: chapter 6

Add flour mixture

After 4th paragraph

PG 398 Peppermint Marshmallows: chapter 9

The addition the regular sugar was left out.

Paragraph 3, first line should read: “Combine remaining 1/2 cup water, remaining 1 cup powdered sugar, sugar, corn syrup…”

SMOKED WHITEFISH TOAST WITH RADISH BUTTER

I am almost as excited to write this blurb as I was to eat the dish. Basically, this dish was on my cookbook recipe list for months. Then after whittling and whittling the list down, it was sadly removed. Everyone agreed that no one would ever make it and I was just including it for myself. Which I was. But also, the space in the book became a thing and I finally gave in. Then something crazy happened. On the first day of our cookbook photo shoot, Eric, my cute, younger brother, brought brunch over for everyone. Being extra nice, he of course bought an entire smoked white fish. Literally the one staring at you in this photo. All day long everyone picked at it, because it was delicious, and at the end of the day it got wrapped up and put in the fridge. The next day, someone opened the fridge and said, Danielle do you have any recipes we can use this in, it would be so sad to waste it. I couldn’t believe my ears and screamed very loudly (which if you know me, you know what my excited scream sounds like, so picture that), that in fact, I had the perfect recipe for this leftover smoked white fish! And that, my friends, is why you are lucky enough to have my favorite brunch recipe ever. Hashem always sends us exactly what we need at exactly the right time!

INGREDIENTS:
1 long, crusty baguette, sliced in half lengthwise
1 cup butter
6-8 small red radishes, grated
¼ cup grated fresh red radish
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp coarsely ground black pepper
1 good quality smoked whitefish, flaked
¾ cup micro greens, to garnish

INSTRUCTIONS:
In a small bowl, combine butter, radish, salt and pepper.
Place baguette on a serving tray.
Spread inside of baguette with radish butter.
Add flaked whitefish to the baguette.
Top with micro greens; serve on a large platter with a serrated knife so everyone can help themselves to a piece and enjoy!

TIPS + TRICKS: If you don’t have a good crusty on the outside, chewy on the inside baguette to work with, you can lightly toast what you have to add that texture.

NOTE: Radish butter is also delicious as a dip for crudité. I know, dip vegetables in butter? That doesn’t sound right. Oh, but it is.

VARIATION: Replace smoked white fish with any variety of smoked fish or lox you like! You can even be wild and use herring!

Savory Stovetop Turkey

Course: Dinner

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 large whole deboned turkey breast
  • 1 tbsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
  • 1 1⁄2 tsp granulated garlic
  • 1 1⁄2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 1⁄2 cups dry white wine
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tbsp white vinegar
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1⁄4 cup duck sauce

This recipe is an ode to my father. My favorite turkey lover out there. My dad doesn’t eat lots of red meat, so I’m always on the lookout for good turkey recipes. What I never saw was a turkey roast recipe, where I felt like the turkey was treated like a proper beef roast. That is what I was aiming for here. Turkey that was deeply savory, moist, and extremely satisfying.
