Sauteed Garlic Asparagus

Reviewed: May 10, 2006

Easy to make and great tasting. I used garlic powder instead of fresh garlic. Next time will try garlic salt.

Chocolate Meringue Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 10, 2005

I followed the directions but these did not turn out well. Will never make them again. This is the only recipe I am giving 1 star to among all the cookies I have tried this holiday season.

Reviewed: Dec. 10, 2005

Great recipe. I have made it several times with different variations suggested by many reviewers and will make it again and again.

Wish I could give it 4.5 stars. Taste-wise it is 5 but in spite of being pretty careful and following reviews ideas, it cracked badly. I also did not like the crust much. Next time I will omit nuts from the crust. But will make it again for the taste.

Paneer

Reviewed: Dec. 10, 2005

Overall, very good recipe but it seems to like something compared to traditional paneer. Also, it is very delictae to handle. Next time I will try pressing the milk soilds and get more water out. Will update the review when I try different variations.

Mom's Ginger Snaps

Reviewed: Dec. 7, 2005

Absolutely fantabulous! I added 1.5 times the spices and followed the recipe otherwise. I did refrigerate the dough for 15 min before baking. The result is great. The best part is that this recipe doesnt need butter or hydrogenated fat. I used cholesterol-free oil blend and no one cal tell that. Hats off to this recipe!!!

French Toast I

Reviewed: Nov. 20, 2005

Great recipe. I used regular wheat bread and batter was enough only for making 4 slices. Will make again.

Best Potatoes Ever!

Reviewed: Nov. 4, 2005

Thanks for taking the time to add this very traditional Indian recipe! I have prepared and eaten it all my life. You can pretty much change the proportion of all spices and condiments to match your taste. So feel free to cut down on chillies. If you do not have dried mango power, just use fresh lemon juice and it will be just as good. For a different twist, add 1/4 cup thawed frozen coconut - this is very traditional around the Indian coast. Also, use peanut or vegetable oil instead of ghee to make it healthier.

Absolutely Perfect Palak Paneer

Reviewed: Nov. 4, 2005

Good recipe. I did change it a little. I used chopped frozen spinach and did not puree it but just cooked it chopped. Also, the previous night I baked ricotta cheese in a greased loaf pan at 350 F for 45-60 min, cooled and refrigerated it overnight. Then I cut it in cubes and used it the following day as a paneer substitue. It turned out pretty well although I had to be very careful not to allow it to crumble away.

Curried Peas

Reviewed: Oct. 10, 2005

Easy to fix and good taste. I used frozen peas and ended up adding about twice the quantity of coconut milk than suggested in order to get some flavor. Perhaps I should try another brand.

Award Winning Peaches and Cream Pie

Reviewed: Aug. 27, 2003

I liked this pie a lot. It is pretty easy to make too. I have following suggestions for improvising it: 1. Bake the crust for 10 min before adding peaches to avoid making it chewy 2. Make sure you drain the peaches well or the pie will be soggy 3. Do not forget to add cream cheese mixture leaving 1" space from the edge of the pan (I forgot to do this and it spilled over during baking) 4. Perhaps add only 1/2 cup flour to the crust mix (not absolutely necessary but this is something I might try the next time) 5. You might want to add 1 1/2 can peaches instead of just one 29 oz can ( again, this is not absolutely necessary) 6. In the reviews some people have suggested to use spingform pan instead of pie plate - that might be necessary if you add more peaches.
