The cookbook also gives instructions for a farmers feast featuring beef tenderloin wrapped in bacon, mushroom gravy, mixed zucchini, and cheddar mashed potatoes. The instructions are at times verbose, giving a paragraph where a simple, “Peel, quarter, and boil potatoes” would suffice. The meal turned out well, however using a low broiler setting was recommended on the meat. This led to an underwhelming steak in desperate need of browning on the outside. This was an instance where I regretted not going with my gut and cooking the meat at a high broil; by the time I realized it would never cook right, it was too late to turn up the heat without destroying the meat. St. Isidore the Farmer, pray for us.
