Savory Rosemary Bread Pudding

Reviewed: Dec. 13, 2009

I used havarti cheese and dropped half spoonfuls of chevre all over the top once it had been assembled. YUM!

Tom Ka Gai (Coconut Chicken Soup)

Reviewed: Dec. 9, 2009

I added things like the other cooks. Added 2 tsp sugar, did half lemon half lime juice, used more cilantro and added during cooking, changed water for chicken broth. One change I will make next time is to reduce the fish sauce by 1 tbs. It was really salty and a little too pungent, although still delicious. This is as good a soup as you'd get in any restaurant.

Cookies 'n' Creme Fudge

Reviewed: Dec. 9, 2009

Super tasty and easy fudge. It does get dried out after a few days in a cookie tin though. I doubled the recipe using three regular sized (12 oz.?) bags of white chips and it came out just perfect.

Gulab Jamun

Reviewed: Dec. 9, 2009

I love gulab jamun, but this recipe doesn't have the right proportions in the dough. Even so, the cooking technique is SPOT ON. If you want to make this recipe as is, just work milk powder into the soft dough by kneading until it is solid enough to hold a ball shape without flattening. Do divide the dough into 20 balls even though they seem small. They are very rich! Also, let your oil cool a bit before adding the second batch by removing it from the heat for a few min. It is important to make the syrup in a large fry pan so there is room for all your little donuts to soak. Cheers!

Brioche

Reviewed: Dec. 6, 2009

NOTICE! To those of you wanting a REAL brioche recipe, this is *not* it. This is a good egg bread recipe but does not have the rich, buttery quality of brioche. Real brioche has more butter and the butter is kneaded into the dough.

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins

Reviewed: Dec. 2, 2009

These were good but they were so much work that I'm not sure they were worth it. They didn't get rave reviews although no one had anything bad to say about them, they just weren't great. Probably will not make these again.

Cranberry-Pineapple Minis

Reviewed: Nov. 29, 2009

This was good but I used my Demarle mold and it stuck to the mold! I was surpised because nothing has ever stuck to that mold before. It's a nice combo of fruit in the salad but its just a jello salad.

Heavenly Chocolate Mousse

Reviewed: Nov. 29, 2009

This was a perfect mousse recipe. However, I'm a believer that coffee belongs with chocolate in order to pronounce the chocolate flavor. Next time I will use some coffee in place of the water and see how the flavor comes out. But the texture of this recipe is superb. Exactly what a mousse should be.

Chocolate Syrup

Reviewed: Nov. 21, 2009

After finding out that Hershey's syrup has high fructose corn syrup in it, I knew I would never buy it again. This is a delicious recipe for a very similar type chocolate syrup. My husband and son are very happy with it!

Brandy Flamed Peppercorn Steak

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2009

So incredibly good and impressive! Oh how I love the peppery flavor! I didn't used the full three tablespoons of pepper. I put three tablespoons in my mortar to crush but I only pressed about 2 tablespoons into the steaks. I kept adding pepper until there was a nice even layer with not all the meat covered...and turns out that was about 2 tablespoons for my steaks. The steaks I bought were not thick so I cooked for about 7 min on each side. I removed them from the pan and let the sauce thicken a bit more. Definately garnish with sliced green onion, it makes the flavor so much more amazing.

Ginger Snaps II

Reviewed: Oct. 29, 2009

I bought some rose water and really wanted to make cookies with it...so I used this recipe as a base. I used all butter instead of shortening. I exchanged the molasses for light corn syrup and added 1 tbs of rose water to the butter cream mixture. I changed the ginger and cinnamon for 1 1/2 tsp of cardamom. Viola! Cardamom Rose Snaps ;)

Country Apple Dumplings

Reviewed: Oct. 25, 2009

These are amazing. Of course, what wouldn't be amazing with a cup of butter? I suspect that you could cut down on the butter and sugar in this recipe and still get a great result. I will try that next time. I also used 7-up instead of mountain dew and I believe it didn't change the outcome of the recipe. This will be my go to recipe for apple dumplings from now on, without a doubt!

Vini's Pork Roast

Reviewed: Oct. 25, 2009

I loved this simple and delicious rub! The caraway was a welcome departure from the spices I typically use and was a beautiful compliment to the pork. The cooking directions were spot on and it was so nice to have gravy and potatoes. So often I cook meat and potatoes but don't have the drippings for gravy.

Baked Spiced Chicken

This is an easy and delicious way to cook bone in chicken. I didn't make any changes to the recipe. It turned out so moist and flavorful! My family loved it.

Dee's Roast Pork for Tacos

Reviewed: Oct. 12, 2009

This is so incredibly good, even my son loved it and he is decidedly not a fan of mexican food. I didn't have as big a roast as the recipe called for and I didn't have as much time to cook it so I halved the recipe for a 2 pound roast and roasted it in my convection oven on 325 for an hour and a half. I did wrap it in the foil like the recipe suggested. The roast was easy to pull apart with forks and VERY moist.

Spinach Enchiladas

Reviewed: Oct. 8, 2009

I loved these. The spinach filling is so delicious and I love having left over ricotta to make pancakes with in the morning. I will definately try this recipe with a white enchilada sauce as well. This is going into my favorites!

Monte Cristo Sandwich - the Real One

Reviewed: Oct. 5, 2009

This is a great recipe. The batter is delicious. I halved the recipe and still used a whole egg and it turned out perfectly. Definately cook this is ghee or clarified butter. I wouldn't dream of cooking it any other way.
