Hello,
So I went out Sunday bought all the ingred from Alissa'a book that she said I need for week one. Her book recommends to make the following on day one )Fettucinne Alfredo, 2) Allissa's dressing 3) and some other dished on day three or four. So then I made the 1)Fettucinne Alfredo, 2) Allissa's dressing 3) her date torte on day one.... Well all three are setting in the fridge because the fettucinne Alfredo did not come out right, it may have been because I blended the ingred first in the blender and then put them in the food processor ( i didnt have he food processor until later that day).

And I am confused.. am I supposed to eat the three things above for three days before making the other dishes listed on day 3 and four?

I never follow menus. Go with what you want/like at the moment. I'm not the best uncooker so I tend to make one thing and eat it all up then make something else. If I make too many different dishes I forget about them and they go bad. I just went straight to the back where the recipes were and went through the WHOLE book when I first got it. On a separate piece of paper I marked the recipes that appealed to me and those were the first ones I've tried. Last week I had the turnip raw ravioli (p. 397)... they are sooo good and super easy to make. I made some of gus's pesto (p. 309) to top it off with. *eyes rolling in back of head*

I personally didn't like the alfredo sauce. I tried it and froze the rest, hoping to salvage it at a later date. It was thick and had a weird taste, perhaps the macadamia nuts?

The date nut tort is so unbelievable and easy to make. That is still one of my favorite desserts.
