Rice & Beans (Haitian Style)

Reviewed: May 5, 2012

I see a good potential in this recipe, but it is way, way too salty! I would recommend to start with half the salt and go from there. Can always add more, cant take it away though LOL

I was a bit disappointed because I wanted them to be more spicy, but overall an excellent cookie! I would make it again. As another reviewer said - make sure they're spaced far enough, may be even 3 inches apart as they spread quite a bit.

Yellow Cake Made from Scratch

Reviewed: Jun. 12, 2006

It was a great cake. I was worried a bit because of mixed reviews, but it turned out fine! Be generous with vanilla or some other flavorful extract. I made it in bundt form, whith butter frosting it was delicious. I added only 2 tsp baking powder as someone adviced and cake rose beautifully.

Favorite Old Fashioned Gingerbread

Reviewed: Dec. 26, 2005

Favorite indeed! Tripled the spices, added some nutmeg - the taste is exquisite, texture too, moist & nice and it rose beautifully. The only mistake I made was to take it out of the pan before it cooled completely, so it cracked slightly:-) Still, it was gone in one evening:-)

Pumpernickel Rye Bread

Reviewed: Jan. 23, 2005

UNBELIEVABLY good! I didn't have caraway at hand, but even without it bread was so flavorful, wonderful texture and crispy crust. Next time I'll follow the recipe completely and bake bread in the oven rather than in the bread machine, I think it would rise better.

Fragrant Millet Pilaf

Reviewed: Dec. 10, 2004

Great recipe for millet, delicious and flavorful. Spice combo is awesome, they go together very harmoniously. I'll only cut a little on coriander. It's one of my favorite spices, but it can give a bitter aftertaste if overused.

Very-very tasty stew! Great combination of herbs. I used garbanzos instead of white beans and it turned out wonderful.

Creamy Au Gratin Potatoes

Reviewed: Oct. 8, 2004

You'll love this if you like extremely rich, mild flavored dishes. It's a great basic recipe and I'll use it again but with modifications. I'll definitely ditch the onion altogether, reduce amount of milk and spice things up with curry or dill or ground coriander. And for crispy crust I'll sprinkle some cheese on top and bake it uncovered for last 10 minutes. My husband love it the way it was though and asked for more;-)

Vegetarian Gravy

Reviewed: Sep. 10, 2004

What a GREAT recipe! It's tastier than any gravy I ever tried before. Sage gives it nice meaty flavor and gravy turns out nice golden color. It will be my gravy recipe from now on. The only thing I'm going to change is the amount of oil, I'll cut it by half (it was a bit too rich for my taste). Delicious gravy!

Boston Cream Pie II

Reviewed: Aug. 26, 2004

Very good recipe, I loved it. It is a bit challenging to slice the cake through because knife just wants to go aslant:-) I recommend to notch the side of the cake with serrated knife about 1" deep all the way around to make sure the cut is clean and precise and then cut through. Also, it was good idea as others here recommended, to dissolve starch in milk before heating it and use the whisk, this way custard comes out very smooth and not lumpy. Delicious cake, hubby loved it, I'll make it again and recommend everyone to try it.

The Best Rolled Sugar Cookies

Reviewed: Aug. 25, 2004

Wonderful recipe! Works great for cut out cookies as well as for drop cookies. If you make drop version, deep in sugar and they'll have very nice crackled texture, looks really cool. And dough keeps great in the freezer. Loved this recipe!
