Making Crispy Onion Rings

Reviewed: Apr. 29, 2012

Incredible. As many have, I've been searching for years for an easy and foolproof onion rings recipe. This is it. Chef John, your techniques and recipes are the best. A good friend of mine was frustrated b/c she couldn't get the hang of how to make homemade mayonnaise. She found and tried Chef John's method and it turned out perfectly for her. She was so thrilled, you'd have thought she'd won the lottery! :p Well, now I know exactly how she felt, since I can now (finally!) make homemade onion rings that look and taste fantastic! The only change I made was to use whole wheat flour since that's all we had in the house. These are so awesome, Chef John. You're one of the finest chefs and educators out there. Thank you for giving us this great recipe!

Tried 'n' True Peanut Butter Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 10, 2011

What a perfect winter pick-me-up these cookies are! I used crunchy peanut butter & 100% whole wheat flour for them & they were just heavenly! The entire family loved them. If you're craving a stronger peanut butter flavor, add one cup peanut butter & subtract one cup of the butter flavored shortening. We've tried them both ways & both are fantastic. Thank you for this delicious recipe, Emma Lee!

Sorry, Johnchandler. My family and I have had lasagnas that required way less work with far fewer ingredients that have tasted infinitely better.

Pie Crust III

Reviewed: Oct. 8, 2011

We used this crust for our favorite apple pie recipe yesterday and what a hit! I used all 100% whole wheat flour for it and it was excellent! (I also added 2 tsp. unrefined sugar, 1 tsp. sea salt.) 5 stars for flakiness, taste, simplicity and on the dough being easy to work with. I couldn't ask for more! Thank you so much for this one, GAF55. Our family loved it!

Mini Salmon Loaf

Reviewed: Jul. 28, 2011

Changed this a bit due to necessity (being out of certain ingredients) & taste preferences. We used the skin, bones & Salmon liquid instead of the milk. 'Buttered' the mini loaf pan & sautéed the onion & celery in 1 T. butter & 1 T. oil. Added a little more pepper & salt than called for & a little over 1/2 tsp. dill + 1 T. honey. We used 1 cup rolled oats in place of the bread crumbs & baked for only about 30 minutes. More would have been too long in our oven. The top got crusty & the inside stayed moist. Omitted the dill sauce. For us, buttery mashed potatoes & sautéed green beans went perfectly with this dish! Thank you for a great textured, versatile salmon loaf recipe, Patricia!

Crispy and Creamy Doughnuts

Reviewed: Mar. 31, 2011

I decided to try baking these. Willing to settle for a less KK taste & a slightly heavier donut while knowing that the glaze adds so much to these, I: #1 halved the recipe #2 used 100% whole wheat flour + 2 tsps. cinnamon #3 did first rise in bread machine #4 did second rise in oven at lowest possible temp #5 After 35 minutes on 2nd rise, I turned oven up to 375° & let bake for 14-17 minutes. #6 I glazed immediately. The donuts themselves were not very sweet but the glaze took care of that. Unlike the fried donuts, they keep better in the fridge and don't have to be warm to taste great. We had tried them the original way first and they were fantastic that way too! But we wanted something we could easily refrigerate and that was a little less oily than regular donuts, so we baked instead of fried. This is an excellent recipe, thank you so much for putting it out there for us.

I love the simplicity of this hearty, delicious dish. I used whole wheat elbow macaroni and our own homemade pizza sauce. When the meat was almost done, I added one T. of Italian seasoning. A very satisfying, filling meal! Thank you, Trish!

Grandma's Iron Skillet Apple Pie

Reviewed: Jan. 21, 2011

Absolutely the best apple pie my family and I have ever had. The only changes made were, we made our own crust, used 100% whole wheat flour, and used unrefined turbinado sugar in place of the white. I rolled the crusts out very thin. This worked perfectly. Baked the pie 45 minutes, then turned off the oven and let it sit in there while we had our dinner. What a rich delight that pie was! Thank you so much, T. L., for a recipe that thrilled the whole family! We just loved it!!

Grandma's Butterscotch Pie

Reviewed: Jul. 11, 2010

Oh so good! Takes me back 30 years ago to a lovely butterscotch pie I used to enjoy in a good high quality cafeteria. The only change I made was, I didn't use a double boiler. Straight into the saucepan. This pie couldn't be better, and it's minus all those taste enhancers, artificial colors, and other nasty chemical additives.

Honey Graham Crackers

Reviewed: Sep. 24, 2009

This is the best Honey Graham recipe I've found. I made 2 changes: I used 1 tsp. cinnamon added to the dough itself (saved adding more sugar to the top). I've found that a little cinnamon added to whole wheat flour (when it's going to have sugar in it anyway) often helps take the "wild" taste out of it. I also used 100% whole wheat flour - no white. It was great, and even better the second day. A delicious, munchable, mellow graham cracker! Thank you, Rebecca!

No Beans About It - Chili

Reviewed: Jun. 25, 2009

Our new favorite! Omitted the vinegar, added water in it's place - and instead of canned tomatoes, used 10 fresh, ripe, peeled & chopped tomatoes. Wow! Talk about delicious! The flavor was so good, we didn't even care that the texture wasn't exactly the same as canned. We didn't even wait to get out the stick blender to process it - we just ate it! I let it simmer on low about an hour in a cast iron deep fryer. I also added 1 T. brown sugar, 2 T. molasses (we like our chili a little sweet) and 1 T. homemade prepared mustard. The recipe is very versatile and forgiving and easily tailored to one's tastes. No more canned chili for this family! Thank you so much!

Red Raspberry Vinaigrette

Reviewed: Jun. 22, 2009

I kept to the amounts stated and tried them using sunflower oil and apple cider vinegar. It was great. I even tried other flavors of jam at different times for a little variety (strawberry, orange, apricot) and the recipe was versatile and delicious. I like raspberry the best, though. Thank you so much for this one!

French Bread Rolls to Die For

This is my favorite roll recipe. I've found it's so versatile. I use unrefined sugar & all 100% whole wheat bread flour. My family loves this recipe & we have used it to make wonderful whole wheat hotdog & hamburger buns as well.
