Cooked without coffee or much salt, seasoning, etc. on high for 6-8 hrs. adding BBQ sauce at the beginning and a little at the end of the cooking time. No broth, as the meat gets juicy without it. It turned out fantastic!

Taiwanese-Style Three Cup Chicken

Reviewed: May 23, 2011

It's pretty good if you don't have an Asian market nearby, but I recently found another recipe I like better, which uses grated ginger, shaoxing wine instead of sherry, a small amount of dark sesame oil (for flavor) in addition to the light, and a darker, thicker soy sauce called kecap manis.

Amazingly Easy Irish Soda Bread

Reviewed: May 23, 2011

Nice crusty loaf, with a dense, yet spongy soda bread. I replaced the margarine with butter (as in all my baking) and it turned out fine. I also added dried currants (soaked until soft and drained) and some caraway seeds, which were wonderful! I would make this again as it is the best soda bread recipe I've found yet, however I gave it 4/5 stars because I've had better bread elsewhere (personal preference probably).

Simple Carnitas

Reviewed: May 23, 2011

Delicious even though I used a pork loin and cooked it for 6-8hours. My only change for next time will be to use a lot less salt. I'm not used to eating anything that salty! (hence 4, not 5 stars) I will probably cut the salt in half or by 2/3. The orange, cumin and bay leaf really come through nicely, but not overtly once finished. Also, I would use more more onion (to serve with the meat), a little low sodium vegetable or chicken stock, and take out the oranges after a few hours.
