Just curious: your nutritional analysis and the nutritional data posted with the recipe on epicurious are very different. Who's correct?

Suzanne,

The nutrition information posted on Epicurious was provided by Self Magazine, which originally published this recipe (and the accompanying nutrition information).

We did our own nutritional analysis, using nutrient data available here on NutritionData.com, which is provided by the Nutrient Data Lab of the USDA (http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/).

The differences are likely due to variations in which ingredients and quantities were used for the respective analyses. Although we don't have the breakdown of ingredients that were used in Self's analysis, you can see what ingredients and quantities we used for OUR analysis at the top of the analysis page.

Of all the available choices, we think we've chosen the foods that best fit the ingredients called for in the recipe. If you have specific questions about items in the analysis, I'll do my best to answer them.
