Pretty good, and easy to make. I added snow peas and bean sprouts. I also added a bit of corn starch to thicken the sauce. Next time, I might grate the ginger, or make more of an effort to slice it thinly.

Easy Beef Pie

Reviewed: Feb. 10, 2007

We made 10 pies' worth of this recipe for a big group. It was very easy, but I found it somewhat bland. I would also at least double the meat:vegetable ratio if I was going to make it again.

Chicken Breasts in Caper Cream Sauce

Reviewed: Sep. 19, 2007

This turned out great. I made it with a few modifications: - I used (boneless, skinless) chicken thighs insteas of breasts. - I marinaded chicken in lemon juice (+water), and used pepper instead of lemon pepper, as others have suggested. - Instead of garlic powder, I used minced garlic, frying it some before adding cream. - Instead of using dried dill, I sprinkled fresh dill on top afterwards.

Thai Pineapple Chicken Curry

Reviewed: Apr. 3, 2008

Delicious. We doubled the chicken, and used 1.5 times the amount of sauce -- there was plenty of sauce to go around. Instead of bell peppers, we put in some carrots and snow peas. The amount of food was just right for 5 hungry people.

It's Chili by George!!

Reviewed: Apr. 3, 2008

I'm not generally a huge chili fan, but this tasted great. And it was easy enough that two of us made four times the recipe amount (to feed ~40 people) in a reasonable amount of time.

Black Magic Cake

Reviewed: Jan. 1, 2009

This cake was fine, but is not very interesting in itself. It became much improved after I soaked it with blackcurrant liqueur (Creme de Cassis) mixed with some water and sugar. I also made a frosting out of butter, sugar (powdered would've been better, but I ran out), a bit of milk, and some of the same liqueur. I would give the overall result 5 stars, but I'm only giving the original cake recipe 4.
