<br><br><b>Book: </b> <i>My Vermont Table </i> by Gesine Bullock-Prado <br><br>
<b>Chapter:</b> Winter<br><br>
<b>Overall Score:</b> 9/12<br><br>
<b>Recommended?</b> I’ve seen a lot of recipes touted as “brownie” cookies, but none of them quite capture that quintessential crackly brownie crust the way these do. These cookies <i>literally</i> shine! Don’t worry about the fact that they’re from the Winter chapter. Make them in any (every!) season. When your heart can’t decide whether you want a cookie or a brownie, get the best of both worlds by making these. <br>

<br><br><b>Book:</b> <i>The Tucci Cookbook</i> by Stanley Tucci with Joan and Stan Tucci, Gianni Scappin, and Mimi Taft<br><br>
<b>Chapter:</b> Pasta<br><br>
<b>Overall Score:</b> 9/12<br><br>
<b>Recommended?</b> This one comes recommended by Chef G himself! <i>The Tucci Cookbook</i> is actually his book. You may have caught a glimpse of these in the leftover report from the last post, which featured that peach sauce I was (am) so in love with. Here, we tossed them in a fun pesto. Check out the rest of the post for Garrett’s tips. His most important message to you: <b>“I <i>gnocchi</i> you can do it!”</b><br>

<br><b>Book:</b> America's Test Kitchen Cooking School Cookbook<br><br>
<b>Chapter:</b> How to Cook Meat<br><br>
<b>Overall Score:</b> 10/12<br><br>
<b>Recommended?</b> Wow - yes! Make this for a dinner party or any celebration. It takes a while, but it is relatively hands-off. And the peach sauce? I’d recommend that sauce even if you don’t make the pork. Check out the leftover report for an idea + sneak peek at the next recipe in the project!<br>
Chicken & Wild Rice Soup

<br><b>Book:</b> Magnolia Table by Joanna Gaines<br><br>
<b>Chapter:</b> Soups & Salads<br><br>
<b>Overall Score:</b> 8/12<br><br>
<b>Recommended?</b> Yes! This would be great as a weekend meal or meal prep option for lunches. Seasonally, it fits for fall, winter, and spring. I can’t say I will be following Joanna’s lead by making this annually for New Year’s Eve, though!<br>
