Delicious! Taste & texture just like in the restaurant. For the chile-garlic sauce, I used LaChoy Ginger Garlic paste (because it was what I had on hand) & it was perfect! I think it gave it a very subtle exotic flare. My husband said "this is awesome!" and that's high praise for him. I made this to go along with perch, fresh from the Adirondacks. So, I think this would nicely accompany any fish. It was also great for dipping french fries in. Definitely won't ever buy prepared again!

Butternut Squash Bisque

Reviewed: Oct. 26, 2009

My husband was so jazzed to try this! It was fun to make, made the kitchen smell wonderfully homey, and was very tasty. I grilled Panini and served with Red Pepper Hummus. What a great combination!

Mark's English Sausage Rolls

Reviewed: Oct. 26, 2009

Mmm...very good! Not hard to make, very tasty. They are a little greasy, and next time I think I will use some of the tips from others on prepping them to not be so. I too added sage & onion powder to the sausage meat, jazzing it up a bit. I've never used puff pastry before, so now I'm inspired to try Jamaican patties with ground beef & curry next!

Sandy's Casserole

Reviewed: Oct. 5, 2009

I made this for a potluck, because I was tired of serving sub-par dishes at potlucks and I really wanted to serve something nice this time. This was easy to make, made a very nice presentation, and disappeared completely in no time at all. I had some and it was awesome! My husband could not believe how fast it went. I took the advice of some others and baked foil covered for 30 minutes, then topped with French's onions and cooked uncovered for an additional 20-25 minutes. Yielded a huge amount. Will make again!

Sour Cream Enchiladas

Reviewed: Oct. 5, 2009

This came out great! Followed the recipe exactly. It was just my husband & I eating (my 15 mo daughter was not interested), so this made 4 large servings for us. Will make again!

Spicy Indian Chicken Curry Yummy

Reviewed: Aug. 19, 2009

Wow, this was a hot one! I too scaled down the red pepper flakes & peppercorns by half, added 1 cup bouillon & 1/2 cup heavy cream, but this was still hot enough that my husband (a lover of spicy foods) had to drink 3 glasses of soda to get through the meal. I would definitely recommend adding the extra liquids if you want a sauce to go along with this though. You won't have one if you don't! :)

Bland? No way! I think it's extremely rich, not to mention unbelievably easy. I added saurkraut, and it is fabulous!

Blooming Onion and Dipping Sauce

Reviewed: Jul. 24, 2009

Wow! I've made this twice now...the first time substituting the onion w/ zucchini & yellow squash slices, and the result with absolutely fabulous! This is the first thing I made in my deep fryer, and without a doubt, this is the only coating & dipping sauce recipe that I'll use for all my veggie frying in the future.

PHILLY Shrimp-in-Love Pasta

Reviewed: Jul. 24, 2009

The name says it all. The perfect dish, in my opinion. I am a pasta fanatic & I love the cream cheese taste of this...completely refreshing & unique. This is a very romantic dish, meant to be served with wine & music. And you will certainly be in love with this dish once you taste it! :0)

Awesome Bow Tie Pasta

Reviewed: Jul. 24, 2009

It's not so much that this was so bad...as it wasn't so good. Way too vinegary, and mine didn't look at all as nice & bright as the picture. This recipe made a lot & I'm left with a ton of leftovers that I'm going to have to eat (I hate wasting food)! **********Followup********** Okay, I have to admit that this is much better the next day. I also added some peas that I had (about a cups worth) & an additional 2oz of feta, which cut the vinegar a bit. Much less vinegary...even enjoyable. I've revised up to 3 stars. :)
