This was very good. I threw in a few raspberries with the blueberries . I used water down lemon juice ( 50/50)- which gave it the tart taste I like. I doubled the biscuit part for better coverage. I added cinnamon, nutmeg and that was also very good!

Fresh Herbed Halibut

Reviewed: Aug. 9, 2009

Ditto with the oil. Needs very little. I put just a bit in ( Tablespoon) and got happy with the lemon juice, dill and garlic and fresh pepper. I put in in my toaster ( broil setting)oven for 15 min but really 12 min would have been fine. It ws very nice.

Big Soft Ginger Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 2, 2008

The texture was great as was the flavour but will add a lot more ginger next time. It was more of a spice cookie- very nice but not super gingery-which is what I'd like- but will make it again as the softness was just right!!

Chicken Stew with Dumplings

Reviewed: Dec. 2, 2008

This was very good. I would like the broth to be thicker-which I will do next time. I added green beans and swiss chard, carrots, onions and peas as that was what I had. I added herb de provence ( nice blend of spices) and coarse pepper. I also used leftover chicken. I did not have parsely for the dumplings- but cilantro worked- did not need quite all of the milk for the dumplimgs either.

Reviewed: Aug. 28, 2008

I liked it. My boyfriend so-so. It is really a stew with curry flavour- nice comfort food. We added lots of veggies: eggplant, mushrooms, zuchini,cauliflower and lots of garlic. Added curry powder as we did not have cardomon. Taste better warmed up the following day

Easy Cheese and Garlic Scones

Reviewed: Apr. 22, 2008

Good. I used the extra butter and less milk and lower oven as suggested ( took 10 min longer). I added thyme and rosemary and a bit more cheese. I did not roll it out- I just formed it in my hands and it turned out quite nicely- Flavour and texture .

I liked it as did my boyfriend. I used half an onion and added two tablespoons of pesto to sub for mozz cheese as I only had parm cheese on hand. It took closer to 35 minutes. Oh, and I cooked it all in one pot. I sauteed onions with olive oil in the pot and then added the risotto. Oh, and I added a bit

I had never cooked collard greens before. But I missed them. Always thought it was a hassle to make. But this is easy and VERY good. I bought extra thick bacon...nice.
