Bon Appetit Magazine is the one of the best things that I receive in the mail. Besides my mom's care packages of course. I love browsing through the pictures and reading the recipes. Learning about new ingredients that wind up having me research where the ingredients comes from and where I can find it to purchase. I love learning new cooking techniques and combining well known ingredients with new techniques and new ingredients with techniques I am familiar with.
In the most recent March issue I came across a photo of romaine lettuce that had the appearance of having been cooked. Huh? I thought. I've never tried that, I wonder if it tastes good? So I flagged the recipe to return to later in the week and added the ingredients to my shopping list. Luckily, the ingredients are very common and I had most of them in my pantry and fridge. The recipe is amazingly simple in technique, and has a similar taste. But it is entirely different and a delicious dish. I recommend making this soon. And then again. I know it will become a recipe I call on when we're on a tight schedule or I'm feeling lazy.
