Carrot Cake I

Reviewed: May 28, 2008
This carrot cake has been quite a hit! I've made three of them so far--one was requested as a gift for a party where it received many compliments. I reduced the sugar as suggested and used 1/2 white/brown sugar. In the last 2 cakes I did, I'd run out of white flour and decided "what the hay" and used whole wheat. The whole wheat actually came out better and I highly recommend it. Additionally, I did not use the frosting recipe. Instead, I made a simple sugar glaze using powdered sugar and water--about 1 to 1 and 1/2 Cups powdered sugar mixed with 2 Tablespoons water. Poured over top and allowed to cool for about an hour in the fridge. Non-dairy and just right.

Grandma Johnson's Scones

Reviewed: Apr. 9, 2008
I'm not rating this recipe as it came out and I want to leave the avarage, because I did not have Cream of Tartar, and had to use the lemon thing from the common subtitutions section- It came out awful, I just want to warn others not to do what I did!

Peanut Butter Cookies with Chocolate Chunks

Reviewed: Apr. 9, 2008
I made these cookies with a regular cheap peanut butter that was was sweater than the regular skippy type brand. I'm sure that with a better peanut butter these will come out much better- will try again, and SOON. Oh, and BTW, no one had a chance to taste them because i finished them all!

Buttery Soft Pretzels

Reviewed: Apr. 2, 2008
These came out great. I only needed half the amount of baking soda solution. I mixed sugar and cinnamon together in the coffee grinder, which made the sugar finer and mixed the two more completely. I painted on melted butter and dipped the pretzels in the sugar/cinnamon mixture. The effect was on par with "professional" pretzels. Good stuff:)

This recipe is awesome. Don't worry if you don't have rose water, it will still taste just fine.

Authentic Middle Eastern Hummus (Chummus)

Reviewed: Apr. 2, 2008
I'm the author of the recipe and I just noticed that the recipe was put up with the instructions to add 1/4 C lemon juice. That should actually read: The juice of 1-2 lemons, which can be anywhere from 1/4-1/2 C lemon juice. What I do is add the juice of 1 lemon (approx. 1/4 C) and taste, then add more incrementally to suit our tastes. Some like it more lemony and others a bit less. Additionally, you will need to reserve all of the water that you cooked the chickpeas in as you will probably need to add much (or all) of this water to the chummus when blending it. Chummus has a tendency to thicken up as it cools and you may add more water later to thin it out a bit. FYI this chummus freezes very well:) Garlicy chummus IS an American thing:) But if you like it, go with it--this recipe is flexible! Israelis/Arabs like chummus with a lot less garlic. Thank you for trying the recipe. I hope more people do! My friends and family here in Israel rave about it and compare this recipe to some of the best Chummus places here.

Prune and Raisin Filled Cookies

Reviewed: Mar. 29, 2008
Amazing!!! Everyone loved it, even people who aren't crazy about prunes! Though I didn't glaze it with lemon because I had a cream left over from muffins I made I wanted to use that up, so I poured it over the dough right before putting it in the oven... the cream had chocolate chips in it as well. Fabulous!!

Deep Dish Brownies

Reviewed: Feb. 23, 2008
It's too bad there aren't more stars! This recipe is THAT good. All my friends are crazy about these brownies and I can't get enough of them. These are like Duncan Hines brownies in texture but they're way tastier. I've tried this recipe with canola oil instead of butter/margarine and it comes out just fine, though slightly less tasty--that is to say that only I noticed the difference and my friends/family didn't.

Banana Crumb Muffins

Reviewed: Feb. 18, 2008
These are fantastic! I used 1 C whole wheat flour and the rest white flour. The first time I made the muffins, I substituted oil for butter/margarine in the muffins and used margarine for the topping. The second time I made them I substituted oil in both parts and it came out the same as with the butter/margarine. Lesson learned: always use oil for margarine when possible. It's SO much healthier!

Hummus III

Reviewed: Feb. 14, 2008
The problem with this recipe is too much garlic per capita and that using canned beans has a very gassy after-effect and is frankly less tasty. This recipe is close though. I live in Israel and we often go to eat hummus (chummus) in Arab chummus places--so I know how chummus should taste. It's pure heaven! Israelis constantly tell me that my chummus comes so close to the original and that I should open my own chummus restaurant. Authentic chummus is very different and SO much tastier than it's American counterpart.

Apple Pie by Grandma Ople

Very nice. Used a flaky pie crust (from this website), think will use a smooth pie crust next time. Pretty easy recipe, needs cinnamon and more spices next time, but will make this again for sure.

Moussaka

Reviewed: Nov. 24, 2007
Good. No need to add an egg to the beef mixture, for sure. Red wine- very important, for too much tomato flavor causes the meat part to taste more like bolognese than moussaka. Loved the bechamel sauce, will definitely make this again with lots more of the spices (cinnamon and nutmeg).

Washabinaros Chili

Reviewed: Nov. 19, 2007
Very good recipe! Unfortunately, didn't have a lot of the ingredients here in Israel, so I made this one with plenty of changes, e.g. only 1 can of red beans instead of 3 cans kidney beans. Couldn't find wasabi- though next time I'll make sure I have since I bet this makes up the whole dish- nor any of the fresh chili peppers, so used only chili powder and black pepper. Didn't use beef broth but increased the amount of beer... All in all, loved it, family loved it, will definitely make this again and I think it's a good recipe to experiment with. Thanks!
