This week’s L.A. Times Test Kitchen recipes

This article was originally on a blog post platform and may be missing photos, graphics or links. See About archive blog posts.

All recipes that appear in the L.A. Times’ Food section are tested and perfected in our Test Kitchen before they’re deemed fit to print. (That means you don’t have to worry about a trial run before serving one of our recipes to company.) Rest assured, they should work the first time out of the gate. Here’s a look at this week’s recipes:

Braised chicken and sausage with green olives

Perfect baked polenta

Wild mushroom sauce

Winter vegetable soup served at Lido Restaurant in Shell Beach
