This week’s L.A. Times Food recipes

All recipes that appear in the L.A. Times’ weekly 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, it should work the first time out of the gate.)

Here’s a look at this week’s recipes, including three recipes that were good enough for P.O.T.U.S.:

Quinoa salad with shitakes, fennel and cashews

Prosciutto roasted bass with autumn vegetables

Milk’s ooey-gooey double-chocolate cookies

George W. Bush’s fillet of beef with three-peppercorn sauce, 2001

Garfield’s pickled oyster, 1881

Harrison’s poundcake, 1841
