Very good! I used less vinegar than in the recipe, and substituted finely chopped red onion for the onion powder, and some whole grain mustard for the mustard powder. Since I was making it for a vegan friend, I substituted agave nectar for the honey. Was very tasty, much better than the store bought.

Cream Cheese Frosting II

Reviewed: Jul. 16, 2009

Excellent and easy to make. I halved the recipe. It seemed to need a bit more icing sugar than stated, but that was fine. Used it to ice banana spice cupcakes and my friends loved it!

Pumpkin Pancakes

Reviewed: Jan. 4, 2009

I made a vegan version of these for my boyfriend and they turned out really tasty. I substituted soymilk for the milk, and used powder egg replacer for the egg. I also added some chopped pecans since I love pecans. Great with maple syrup!

Michelle's Coconut Chicken Curry

Reviewed: Aug. 21, 2008

This was a really good recipe. I was trying to find something close to a curry I like a my favourite Thai restaurant, and this came pretty close. I used potatoes instead of cauliflower and added a bit of lemon juice. I added brown sugar, which helped, but I think I would add less next time (maybe just 1 tbsp).

Bacon Turnip Mash

Reviewed: Feb. 14, 2005

Very tasty. I used some white purple-topped turnips, and turkey bacon instead of regular. Lots of flavour.

Hungarian Mushroom Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 17, 2004

This is a fabulously delicious recipe! Definitely gourmet quality but easy to make. I used a white onion in mine, along with a combination of white button and brown cremini button mushrooms (plus one portobellow). Instead of mixing in the sour cream, I serve the soup with a dollop of it on top. The soup was very spicy (perhaps because I had Hungarian paprika) and the sour cream complemented it well. Yum! No more canned mushroom soup for me! Thanks for the recipe.

Smoked Sausage Pineapple Skewers

Reviewed: Aug. 9, 2004

What a colourful and tasty recipe! This winning combination of fruit, vegetables, and meat looks and tastes great. I used some bavarian smokies from the deli counter and fresh pineapple. I would probably let the vegetables and pineapple marinate a bit longer next time. Also, the red onion takes longer to cook and was a bit raw so next time I would either precook it a bit before adding to skewers or made separate red onion skewers and put them on the BBQ sooner. Will definitely use this one again.

Fra Diavolo Sauce With Pasta

Reviewed: May 9, 2004

This was an excellent and easy recipe. I was wary because there aren't many seasonings, but the garlic and pepper produced a wonderful flavour. I used all shrimp (tiger prawns) and added a tablespoon of capers to the sauce, as someone suggested. I also sprinkled a bit of feta cheese on top of each serving. Yummy! We felt like were dining in a fine restaurant. I recommend mixing the cooked pasta with the sauce before serving.

Pork Roast with Thyme

Reviewed: Apr. 11, 2004

I made it with chopped fresh rosemary instead of thyme. Also used a bit less vinegar. It was quite delicious and flavorful. There wasn't too much juice left in the pan, so I added some water and stirred it around a bit. It made a wonderful

Chicken And Artichoke Penne With A White Sauce

Reviewed: Mar. 11, 2004

This was a tasty recipe. I added some garlic when I cooked the chicken, and omitted the onion from the bechamel sauce. Definitely good enough for company, but easy enough for a weekday meal.
