Thank you so much! I will try this one night for supper! |
I really don't have too many cookbooks. I hardly use the ones I do have. But the one cookbook I bought (for a fortune too) after I got married was this cookbook from the recommendations of many imamothers. And I gotta say, it was worth it. Regular cooking I don't do too much from there but for something interesting and y't (last year sukkos it saved the day, no inspiration).

I took it out of the library once, but I didn't get enough time with it. I'll take it out again and then decide. I always try a few recipes from a cookbook before I invest. I only have 3 cookbooks because of this.
I take a lot of recipes from online searches as well. Once you're comfortable with food, you can usually tell by the make-up of the recipe, if you will like it.
My SIL bought me a cookbook for a bridal shower gift, and told me that she loved to cook from it. Once I browsed it, I realized that it was not my taste at all. I tried one recipe and it was gross. (Mayo in sesame chicken? Have you ever? I should have realized that it would be gross, but I was newly married and was desperate to find an easy sesame chicken recipe to please dh.)
Later on, I found 1 recipe that I really liked in there, but that's it. (It was a chicken salad recipe that I was looking for for the longest amount of time. I had a taste of it at an old friends' years ago, and I had lost the recipe. Lo and behold, this cookbook, which came out after I had tried that salad, had the recipe!)
I later gave the cookbook to my MIL, as she told me that she wanted to buy it.

My mother's Israelized sweet and sour meatballs
1/2 kg ground beef
mush with ketchup and garlic
set aside
in pot combine
1/3 large can tomato sauce with about half a cup of water (I use crushed tomatoes)
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/3 cup or less brown sugar (could be subbed with honey, jam, sweet chili sauce, etc)
1-2 big gulps of sweet red wine (grape juice works just as well)
some soy sauce.
Bring sauce to a boil and form balls out of meat mixture, cover the pot and let simmer for about 30 min. before serving.
A staple in our family on friday nights (at my parents and in my own home). |

Had to bump the thread to ask...I'm doubling this now and want freeze some. Am I better off freezing the meatballs raw, or better off making it fully with sauce and all then freezing it like that?
