I`ll be out of town for the September Cookbook Club covering "Easy Does It" by Christina Flynn, so I decided to cook recipes from it on my own all month long.

I have to admit, when I first flipped through I wasn`t overly excited by the recipes but once I started making a few they were all so good. Normally I dislike recipes that require you to make other recipes/sauces but I appreciated that these secondary recipe ingredients were used in several others. The red pepper butter is going to be a staple in our kitchen from now on because the carrots and pasta that use it were our favorites. I`ve already made the pasta again before we used up the red pepper butter.

The only recipe I tried that didn`t pan out was the savory Dutch baby. It tastes good but didn`t get the iconic bowled edges. My only other comment is that I found it strange that many dry ingredients were measured in liquid ounces.

Is it a scone or a biscuit? While scones are usually sweeter and biscuits more savory, technically these are savory scones as the dough was not laminated but that won`t stop these caramelized onion and herbs scones from stealing hearts.
