I thought I was losing my mind for a few days, there. I was eating things I generally enjoy, and they were no good. I whipped up a couple recipes I’ve been drooling over for a while, and while I was very pleased with myself immediately after plating. Once I tasted each, well … let’s just say, not so pleased. The shrimp tasted like something you’d get at Panda Express, and the bok choy was drowning to death in an overly salty, too-rich sauce.

I’d like to point out, for the record, that I followed the recipe exactly and used high quality ingredients.

It’s pretty though, no? Oh well. Two recipes to avoid:

Spicy-sweet tangerine shrimp

Braised baby bok choy

Sorry, epicurious!
