Favorite Recipes from 2016

It’s time to do a post on my favorite recipes of the year.

For January, I have to go with Tamar Adler’s Minestrone Soup. I just made this again last month in fact!

For February, the choice is a little harder but I’ll recommend you try this chicken and leek pie from Nigel Slater.

This orange and olive salad gets my vote for March. So pretty and tasty!

April I evidently took off although I know I cooked a lot.

May brought me into Indian cooking again and I’ve made this Mum’s Chicken Curry several more times.

June brought the barbecue into full use and I made this grilled lemon chicken several times over the summer.

More grilling in July and this pork chop marinade was a hit.

My nod to my grandmother’s Nippy Potato Salad has been a hit for years and I make it several times over the course of the summer.

In September, I started getting kale and pomegranates from the garden and this kale and pomegranate salad has shown up multiple times.

October brought me back inside and these steamed sauteed potatoes with parsley and garlic are a great side dish.

November had many classics and dishes I’ve made over and over. It’s not pretty but San Francisco Joe’s Special tastes great!

For December, I’m back to a soup! This bread soup (aka ribollita) was a real winner.
