Starting Season 1
Began cooking Season 1 today!
Putting together a meal with a few recipes from the season is a good way to start
on the list, so I started with:

Here are our notes and ratings for each. Check the FAQ for what the ratings mean.
Grilled Salmon Steaks
- Crowd: 4/5
- Ease: 2/5
- These were fantastic, would definitely make them again.
- Did the spice mix like in the show for Gemma and me, and just salt for Vivian. Both variations were a hit.
- Preparation was a pain though -- the steaks had a ton of pin bones and try as I might I couldn't get them all. Tying them was a bit tricky, had do do a couple twice before they held together.
The Baked Potato
- Crowd: 4/5
- Ease: 5/5
- Would rarely think of doing baked potatoes, but they were great
- An hour plus cooking, though, means they'll probably stay a rarity
Veni Vedi Vinaigrette
- Crowd: 3/5
- Ease: 5/5
- This was light and tangy, and dead simple to put together.
- We do a similar dressing with lemon olive oil and white wine vinegar that we like better
