This is a slightly modified version of a recipe in Ina Garten’s Barefoot Contessa: Back to Basics cookbook.
Exciting things happen in the kitchen! I’m always experimenting with new recipes, most of which will never appear on this blog. I tend to look at recipes and think…“that sounds good, but what if I did this instead…” And I’ll be honest, a lot of times it would have been better if I hadn’t done that… But that’s okay. Whether a cooking experiment results in great success (yay!) or in culinary failure (it happens), I always learn something new. I can't wait to see what happens When We Start Cooking.
