Lithuanian Krupnikas

Reviewed: Mar. 7, 2009
couldn't get our hands on fresh turmeric root, so used 1,5 tsp dried instead as per a previous review. this made it a little bit difficult to strain, but patience paid off, and we've finally sampled it after having it stand for about 2 months. fantastic. we've had some at room temperature and we're totally blown away. interested to know what it's like when heated, but not expecting a bad result. :)

i won't say we didn't like this recipe, it was good, we both ate it up, but it's not something i'll add to my list of 'things to make regularly'. not exactly sure what was missing, it just didn't really grab us.

Braised Beef with Barley

Reviewed: Feb. 14, 2009
this was my first time using pearl barley, so i was quite interested to see how this turned out and if my b/f would actually like the barley bit. (he can be fussy.) :) chuck roast isn't so common in the netherlands, so i used chuck roast steaks (better known as sukadelapjes in .nl). worked fantastically. i used chestnut mushrooms instead of white, 4 toes of garlic, 400ml beef stock plus 100ml red wine, and just 1 tsp of salt. no problems with the barley being undercooked or not enough gravy. everything was perfect. served with crispy roasted potatoes, and the b/f gave it 5 stars. a winner. :)

Baked Ziti I

Reviewed: Jan. 30, 2009
WOW!! Ok I made a couple of changes (cos I couldn't get the right ingredients) I used Creme Fraiche instead of sour cream and grated mozzerella instead of Provolone (cant get Provolone here!)I mixed 6 ozs of the spaghetti sauce into the cooked pasta. I added some garlic and some tuscan mixed herbs to the sauce. Then I mixed the grated Mozz with the creme fraiche and spread this mixture over the first ziti layer. Then I followed the recipe exactly and at the end I put some sliced mozz on the top after the grated parm!! It was a very flavourful dish!!

Roast Sticky Chicken-Rotisserie Style

Reviewed: Jan. 22, 2009
I followed the directions EXACTLY and I have to say the seasoning was only on the skin. The meat of the chicken had no flavour in it at all. I even did as another reviewer suggested and put the spice mixture into a small bottle with a shaker top. **********UPDATE**********: I made this again, and I buttered the chicken A LOT before I sprinkled the spice mixture onto it. I also BASTED the chicken throughout the cooking process and this time it was certainly delicious and worthy of 5*'s!!!

Chicken Pot Pie IX

Reviewed: Jan. 22, 2009
Great Pot Pie!! I browned the chicken in the pan first then I added the chicken mixture to the sauce mixture before I put it into the pot. I made them in individual small "souffle" pots without a crust on the bottom and made a biscuit crust for the top.

Sloppy Joes II

Reviewed: Jan. 22, 2009
My husband said that this could only be given 4 stars as we had never had sloppy joes before and had nothing to compare it with!! I left out the green bell pepper (cos of the kids) but I thought it was really really good!!!

Molten Chocolate Cakes With Sugar-Coated Raspberries

Reviewed: Jan. 13, 2009
I made these for a dinner party!! They were great!! I made them in a muffin pan with silver foil muffin papers and I was too afraid to take them out of the papers (in case I accidentally split them and the molten middles ran out!!) so I served them in the papers!!! I decorated the plates with raspberry "coulis" and sugared raspberries and sprinkled the tops with icing sugar and 1 sugared raspberry. My guests were very impressed, siad they looked and tasted like restaurant quality deserts!!!

Cajun Chicken Pasta

Reviewed: Jan. 13, 2009
I made this for a dinner party. What I did differently to the recipe is: I let the chicken sit in 3 TABLESPOONS of cajun spices for about 3 hours, then I cooked the chicken and removed the chicken from the pan and put it in a warm oven, then I added the other ingredients to the pan and after adding the cream I let the mixture boil then simmer to reduce it to a thicker sauce. While sauce was simmering I cooked the pasta. I plated up the pasta spooned the sauce over the pasta then I placed the Chicken on top of everything. All of us really really liked this dish!!!

Creamy Turnip With Paprika Soup

Reviewed: Jan. 12, 2009
as huge a lover as i am of turnips, this was actually my first time attempting turnip soup, and i wasn't disappointed. this was really delicious. i've made it twice, both times not needing to use the full amount of milk suggested, and also adding some fresh cream. i think the 2nd time i made it turned out better, the onions and turnip caramelised better and the consistency was perfect. the crisped shallots really do add to the flavour. i served it with warm dark brown crusty baguette and herb butter.

Crispy and Creamy Doughnuts

Reviewed: Dec. 23, 2008
I absolutely loved this recipe. They were delicious and really tasty. The process for making them was quite stick but worth it. I have never tried krispy Kreme Donuts but I have eaten Dunkin Donuts so I was expecting a similar taste to them, and I was happy with my expectations. And the glaze was to lick for!! Thank You so much.

Caramelized Brussels Sprouts with Pistachios

Reviewed: Nov. 25, 2008
Excellent recipe. I too subbed Balsamic for Red Wine--because that's all I had on hand--and I love Balsamic. I was going to leave out the pistachios because I was having trouble finding them; however, I finally found some overpriced ones, bought them anyway--and was glad that I did--gave it a great bit of extra texture. One of my guests said he didn't like brussel sprouts, but thought these were great; I lost count of how many helpings he had. This is an excellent holiday side dish. Thanks

Kentucky Butter Cake

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2008
Awesome cake. I changed the directions, I creamed the butter and sugar together and then added the eggs, vanilla, and a teaspoon of orange zest. Then I mixed the dry ingredients together. I alternated the dry ingredients with the buttermilk. I doubled the sauce recipe, and poured 3/4 of it as directed, and spooned the final 1/4 over the top once I took it out of the pan. It turned out perfectly.
