It's your lucky week, Tartlets. Since Old Country was such a fantastic book, I've decided that it deserves two book-inspired recipes.
Two Recipes. It's like the new Five Stars of ratings.
First up is the main dish: Grilled Rosemary Balsamic Steaks. The recipe for the side dish you see in the photos is Simple Tomato, Corn, and Torn Basil Salad.
