Cucumber-Cilantro Raita (Yogurt)

Reviewed: Feb. 1, 2010

Good! A nice balance of flavours. Second time round I added 1 clove of very finely diced garlic, which I thought worked well.

Not bad, but not exactly bread. When I looked at the ingredients and quantities, I thought it would make a sweetish cakey bread, which it did. Tasted great, but not exactly what homesteader cornberad is supposed to be.

Yummy Couscous Salad

Reviewed: Apr. 19, 2008

Fantastic salad. Like other reviewers, I felt there is too much red onion. But the problem may be that if the amount of servings is reduced, the amount of onion - 1 red onion - stays the same. For 2 people, 1/4 of a red onion at most. But it's a delicious salad, easy to make, very flexible in terms of ingredients - I've added cucumber, chicken, sweetcorn etc, at various times, and it still tastes great.

Ali's Amazing Bruschetta

Reviewed: Feb. 18, 2008

A very good bruschetta. Like a lot of other reviewers, I felt garlic really improves the taste. And I think it needs something to add a little kick, so I've tried balsamic vinegar and a large pinch of salt, on different occasions. I think that salt foes more to balance out the natural sweetness of the dish.

Veggie Vegetarian Chili

Reviewed: Feb. 2, 2008

delicious! It is really good as it is, but like any chili, you can out in whatever you want, as long as it is in moderation. A handful of butterbeans was a nice extra ingredient.

Addictive Sweet Potato Burritos

Reviewed: Feb. 2, 2008

Wow! It looked weird at first, but when I finally tried it, it was really good. It needs some other food with a "kick" to go with it though.

Sky High Yorkshire Pudding

Reviewed: Jan. 20, 2008

Fantastic. Tall, soft, fluffy. Yes, they will sink quickly, but they didn't have time to sink in my house!

Flourless Chocolate Cake I

Reviewed: Jan. 20, 2008

wow! Like a log in my stomach, but a good one. I found it needed more time to cook, it was just too liquidy after the time in the instructions. Another 5 minutes cooking would help. And yes, a hot knife is a must for cutting.

Fresh Salsa I

Reviewed: Jan. 20, 2008

really good, good balance of ingredients, and looked lovely. It didn't "gel" as well as other salsas I've eaten, but it was great.

Banana Fritters

Reviewed: Sep. 4, 2007

Delicious. I didn't use so much oil, as I wanted to shallow fry them. They were light, fluffy, and great. Easy to adjust the cinnamon, sugar, flour etc for your taste.

Doreen's Steak Marinade

Reviewed: Jul. 8, 2007

I thought this was excellent (I dont give out 5 stars too easily!). I followed the recipe exactly, marinaded for 4 hours, and the steaks were delicious. I made it again and followed the recommendations of some on here and marinaded for 24 hours, but I felt the steaks had gone too sweet by that stage. I've since experimented with whiskey instead of sherry - it was fina also.
