I am a huge Bon Appetit Fan. Going gluten free could not even ruin my anticipation of each months mag. This last year I found yet another reason to adore my favorite magazine....Molly Wizenberg. She is such a talented writer and her food articles for Bon Appetit have convinced me to cook more than one things that I would have said I don't particularly care for.
First came marshmallows - I don't like marshmallows. It isn't the texture or the sweetness, it has always been the chemically aftertaste that I really can not see wasting my daily calorie allotment on. Then came Molly's article about marshmallows and the recipe for a homemade version....I read the article several times, called friends to tell them they had to read the article, thought about making them because she made them sound so good. One day a friend called and she had done it - and was doing it again. I went to her house, tasted the warm fluffy goo, and was hooked.
Next it was rice pudding....the kind of pudding you stand in the kitchen and eat. The kind where you lick every last bit off the spoon...mmmm
This month it is a homemade green goddess dressing. You really need to check it out. If you don't get the magazine, or don't want to wait to find the issue - just go to www.bonappetit.com and do a search for playing dress-up (if you do green goddess you get a few different recipe's). The article is actually right on the homepage, but won't be forever!
Here are the pics from lunch the other day. I am not reprinting the recipe -- because you all need to read her article. I will tell you that the hardest part is getting all the ingredients out, oh - and I should also mention that we did decide to use about 1/2 the vinegar and oil and then use more to taste if we wanted it, the reviews are all saying it is too vinegary.
