I've only had my copy for a couple of weeks. I just made the short ribs in Porter (not stout, that's the wrong flavor, says the book) this past Sunday, but it is still resting in the fridge for tomorrow night. We've been hooked on the maple/rosemary flavor combination since we first tried Trader Joe's Maple Rosemary marinade, which is sadly no longer available. I'm looking forward to trying the ribs tomorrow night.
The sausage and plums recipe caught my eye, but plums aren't that great right now, so I'll wait.
Oh, I did the chicken with pears and rosemary last week, and that was outstanding! Just that my chicken had no tail, so it was hard to tie it to keep the pears in the cavity. But we worked it out.
