This was delicious. Recently my "real" oven died, so I have been trying to learn how to cook in the microwave. Although my measurements and timing are casual and approximate, and I should note I covered the dish with plastic wrap and allowed several minutes standing time, and used real butter, the end result was delectable. The onion/garlic flavor is very subtle and throughout the potatoes. This is a great side dish with beef, and does not require additional fat.

Turkey Breast with Gravy

Reviewed: Apr. 13, 2009

This was very good and I will make it again, but I altered it a little. I used lime pepper (all I had);preheated the oven to 425, then reduced to 325 once the bird was in; basted with melted butter; and made the usual pan gravy with some of the drippings, flour, and diluted chicken broth (Better Homes style). The turkey was a lovely brown and very moist and tasty.

Wine Jelly

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2008

I used a cheap pinot grigio. I actually loved the jelly - it's just slightly zingily sweet(not "wine-y" at all) and great with cream cheese on crackers.It's pretty in the jar too. And really a cinch to make up. I would give it a 5 but it didn't seem to impress the folks I gave it to last Christmas.Not wanting to seem too easily impressed by the fruit of my labor, I decided on a 4.

Garden Fresh Tomato Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 7, 2008

I made this soup tonight and it was truly delicious. I actually followed "Vivibo's" comments, adding garlic, balsamic vinegar, etc. I doubled the original recipe and thought it would serve 6 generously. The only thing I would do differently next time is peel the tomatoes before cooking. I don't like the little bits of skin left after pureeing in the blender.

The Best Thai Peanut Sauce

Reviewed: Dec. 2, 2007

Not quite totally authentic but extremely yummy. I used lite coconut milk and substituted it for water. Added it to a beef and spinach stir-fry, served over asian noodles, for a very satisfying dish. Would be a very good dipping sauce as well, for chicken for example.
