Thanks, TiggyBee, but you should test this. I didn't notice you had called this first. Just got back from a week of being away from the internet.

Just wanted to say congratulations to all and thank you to the editors. I have not been a tester yet, and would make this my first go if I weren't going out of town like so many of us. Hopefully those who aren't trying to beat the heat with a vacation will enjoy the heat of chili peppers while they test. Congrats, again, and thanks!

Congrats to all finalists, EPs and EPCs. Thanks to the editors (especially Francesca Gilberti) for testing my pepper & corn salsa. I am definitely a bit of a testing hog, so I will refrain until tomorrow to give others a chance.

My sons and I will make and test Pancetta Slaw with Chili-Lime Vinaigrette. I can't eat chilies, but they comment and contribute to all of my other EP reviews, as does Mr. T, so there's no reason not to do so here. Plus, this is the type of dish that I know they'll enjoy, and it's easily adapted for me, as well. Thanks so much. ;o)

I am humbled that you would test my recipe, AntoniaJames, as I am quite a fan. Thank you. I hope you do find it to be adaptable and please let me know what changes you make so I can note them for future use. Thanks again!

Thanks a million for the EP! Wish I weren't going away so I could help test this week.

Can I make Salsa Asada?
almost 2 years ago rapearson
Oh, just searched the page and see someone else has that one.
almost 2 years ago GoodforthePalate
Do you make the recipe exactly as stated or do you adjust and get creative while taking notes?
almost 2 years ago GoodforthePalate
So do you take the recipe and make it exactly as stated, or can you get a little creative as long as you make notes?
almost 2 years ago Food52
This is from your friendly editors at Food52.
When you sign up to test a recipe for Editors' Picks, we ask that you follow the recipe as written because we want to find out if the recipe is well-written and the finished dish tastes good. If you can't find a particular ingredient and need to make a substitute, that's okay. Or if you don't have a piece of equipment and need to use something else, that's fine too but the idea is to test the recipe as written.
