I made a double batch and at first it seemed too soft to roll out. I let it sit for about an hour and it was fine. I rolled some of them a little too thick the first time and they didn't puff up evenly. The rest were rolled about 1/4 inch thick before I rolled them with the springerle rolling pin and they came out great.

Tahini Butter Cookies

Reviewed: Mar. 7, 2007

We made these according to the recipe, and they were awesome. The texture is similar to peanut butter cookies, but without the peanut flavor.

This is awesome. Hard to tell if there is even alcohol in it!

French Chocolate Cake

Reviewed: Jan. 5, 2007

I think this cake is great! Working as a pastry baker, I have made cakes like this before. The cake usually sinks in a little at the top after cooling. I like to fill the indention with whipped cream, freeze it overnight and then glaze with a melted ganache icing. Sooo elegant but still pretty easy.

A pleasant, attractive soup. Looks nice in the bowl. Satisfying. I liked it with hot sauce sprinkled over the top.

Coconut-Date-Nut Balls

Reviewed: Jun. 20, 2006

These are good. It may sound odd, but they remind me of pecan pie. The rice krispies become moist and chewy creating a nice texture.

Banana Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting

Reviewed: Jun. 20, 2006

Banana bar part was ok, but the frosting had sort of a sweetness delay. All I could taste at first was buttery cream cheese.

Blueberry-Almond Cake

Reviewed: Jun. 14, 2006

This would taste good, but the raw appearance and texture of the center were disturbing. I would try it without the topping next time.

Good, but I would like it even a little bit less sweet.

Cajun Burgers

Reviewed: May 18, 2006

Very salty. With the salt in cajun seasoning in there, I would leave out any additional salt next time. It overwhelmed the spices.

Simple White Cake

Reviewed: Mar. 1, 2004

I used this recipe to make my friend's wedding cake. It baked very evenly, and was a dream to work with. I used 4 times the recipe, and made two 10 inch, two 8 inch, and two 6 inch layers. I used a lemon sugar syrup on the layers for added moistness, and filled with a raspberry mousse. It was delicious.

Baked Teriyaki Chicken

Reviewed: Feb. 23, 2004

This recipe turned out excellent for me. I made a few adjustments to it, but nothing major. I used a whole chicken cut into 8 pieces (minus the back). I didn't have quite enough soy sauce, so I added a little more water, and it didn't seem quite as sweet as I liked it, so I poured in some sweet chili sauce. My whole family loved it, especially my daughter who only likes chicken fried.

Banana Banana Bread

Reviewed: Feb. 12, 2004

I loved this recipe. I made it into muffins and added about 1/2 cup of chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of coconut. My kids wouldn't eat them because they said "we saw those bananas!" So you might want to keep those ripe bananas a secret.
