I got this for my birthday! I expect it will soon be splattered with food like my other well-loved cookbooks.

Last night I made the grilled eggplant, onion, tomato open-faced sandwiches with celeriac sauce. I don't have a grill so I broiled the onion and eggplant instead. I need to do that more often, those alone were awesome! The sauce is good but I have a ton extra - salad dressing, perhaps, or maybe I'll buy more eggplant so I can keep eating this. I accidentally blended the green onions with the sauce (instead of adding them after as directed) but it turned the sauce a pretty light green color. Can't wait to eat the leftovers at lunch today!

The beet tapenade is very tasty, and I'm not much of a beet fan. I put it in the blender rather than the food processor, making the leftovers a nice sauce for pasta. I'm definitely saving this recipe for holiday meals for that gorgeous color.

I also made the aubergine sandwich with celeriac sauce, alongside the blackened potatoes and plum ketchup. I absolutely loved it, especially the celeriac sauce.

I have this book, and everything looks lovely but I haven't made anything from it because most of it looks pretty complicated. I tend to find a recipe to make based on what I already have in the fridge. Maybe easier than it looks? I really want to make the Gumbo Zav.
