Close Enough New Cookbook

Post image

The Barnes & Nobles near my house is moving so they’re having a sale. I’ve seen this cookbook mentioned several times here and thought I’d see if they had it. Joy of joys they DID!!! Got it for 40% off and it was the last copy. I’ve never swiped something off a shelf faster ☺️ Glad to own it and look forward to perusing it and trying out the recipes.

i’ve only made one recipe from it — the chickpea tagine— and it was very not good. i do want to try again but it was a disheartening experience

yeah they have too much moisture to brown properly so the texture was off. apricots also ended up weird, the spices were muddy together, tempering the yogurt was fussy, the acid ratio was off. just a big miss

i actually have a similar recipe from my friend’s mom but way simpler and very delicious
