This recipe was well-liked by all of my family. Personally, I felt it was a bit too heavy but still delicious. I melted 3 TB of unsalted butter and poured over the top, cooled, and served with spinach dip.

Fantastic Focaccia Bread

Reviewed: Oct. 12, 2008

This focaccia recipe is the closest I've found to Biaggi's focaccia. It is very tender; however, it needs a bit of work in the flavor department. I used about 1/4 c of carmelized onions and 2 cloves garlic for a double batch but I would double that. I also think that I would swap out some of the olive oil for butter. I swear by SAF yeast and used 1/2 tsp. This worked really well on the dough cycle of my bread machine....i have a feeling it would have been way too sticky by hand. Really good dipped in Parm and EVOO.

Polenta with Italian Sausage

Reviewed: Oct. 6, 2008

The sauce/sausage combo was excellent but, I found the polenta a bit bland. However, this was the first time making polenta so I may have not made this correctly. After cooking the polenta, I layered everything lasanga-style and topped w/fresh mozzerella and baked in the oven for 30 minutes and 375. This masked the blandness of the polenta and tasted pretty good but I don't think that I would make this again.

Gyros Burgers

Reviewed: Oct. 6, 2008

This is just like the gyros that I get at fairs. I made a double batch and pressed 1/2 into patties and the other half into meatballs, which I will freeze and use later...maybe for a greek salad. For the patties, I topped it w/"yogurt sauce" (I was out of yogurt but FF sourcream worked just as well), veggies, and feta. Will definetly make it again.

Paul's Pumpkin Bars

Reviewed: Sep. 26, 2008

This recipe is fool proof. Even with adjustments it turned out great. I substituted half of the oil w/applesauce and replace 2/3 c white sugar with brown sugar. They were moist and tender. Substituted maple extract for vanilla (b/c I was out) and topped with toasted walnuts. My co-workers devoured them!

Ginger Glazed Mahi Mahi

Reviewed: Dec. 15, 2007

As is there is a bit too much soy sauce it the recipe (I even use lite soy). I think I would cut down to 2 TB. I used this on marlin and it worked beautifully--good all-purpose marinade.
