Polenta & parmesan gratin, sesame sardines w/carrot salad, mango w/white chocolate yogurt
Another solid meal, with the usual caveats: Beware the Recipe Errors. The water called for in the Polenta differed wildly from the package instructions, and the proportions for the vinaigrette in the carrot salad have been hideously mangled in translation. Using Ruhlman’s proportions for a vinaigrette saved the dish for 6-8 from a horrible death. I had to substitute smelt for the herring, and other than having to prep 5x the number of fish due to their small size — it all worked.
Otherwise the flavors and amounts were great — another solid meal. I wish Phaidon would acknowledge the errata issues, and respond to emails/issue a fix. But then sometimes the lure isn’t meant to catch the fish at all, maybe it’s just meant to catch the fisherman.
