Editors' Picks -- Week 44

by:
April 22, 2010

 

Any food52 member is welcome to help us test our Editors' Pick candidates, so go call dibs on the recipe you'd like to test in the comments section below! We'd love to see some new testers in the mix. Don't forget to email us your notes (about 100 words) to [email protected] by next Tuesday at 5pm.

We'll collect your comments, decide the official list of Editors' Picks and publish your evaluation in the headnote if the recipe is selected as an Editors' Pick (with credit, of course!). And even if the recipe you test isn't chosen as an Editors' Pick, please feel free to leave your testing notes in the recipe's comments section. Constructive criticism is always encouraged!

Wow....what a great new feature (well, I should say new to me since I've been gone), am I too late to claim a recipe to test?
 
Food52 April 23, 2010
Looks like the Petit Pea Whip on Rye Pancakes & Wooly Bulli Scallops Malta (perfect for anyone interested in experimenting with foams) are still free.
 
Lizthechef April 23, 2010
I have time to test the zuke and pea salad for supper tonight, before I leave town through Tuesday. Or do you want to wait and give it to someone new to testing? Need to hear back soon, please...
 
Food52 April 23, 2010
Go for it, Liz! There are still a few for other would-be testers to choose from.

Happy to try Sea Scallops with Corn, Thai Basil and Lime, which nicely solves my what-appetizer conundrum for tomorrow night's dinner party.

I'll take the spring pea picnic salad, which just sounds lovely.
 
Lizthechef April 22, 2010
I signed up for this at the same time you did - I will bow out and it's yours. I have tested several in the past...
 
Lizthechef April 22, 2010
I think they want just one person testing - that's fine. Good luck!
 
Food52 April 22, 2010
Thanks Lizthechef, we'll go with Kayb on this one but please feel free to check back and call any lingering recipes. Thanks for generously stepping aside.
