Reviewed: Oct. 26, 2011

Added salt and sugar. No resting the dough required.

We liked these. The dough was a little sticky, but we just turned the dough out on to a flour-dusted surface, and kneaded in a little more flour to make a soft dough. I think too much flour might have made the final product dry; the soft dough was perfect. We fried in batches, and it only took a few minutes per batch. My 6 year old made the dough, and my 14 year old fried them up.

Homemade Vanilla Pudding

Reviewed: Nov. 21, 2008

Good flavor, but the cornstarch lends a chalkiness.

Victory Brownies

Reviewed: Nov. 11, 2008

A little fudgy, I prefer chewy but not fudge in a brownie. The taste was lovely. I have been trying a lot of chocolate variations. The chili pepper and chocolate is not only traditional (think Mayan, but also very tasty.

Banana Banana Bread

Reviewed: May 20, 2008

I finaly made this recipe after looking at it for years. It is a good base recipe to which you can add ingredients to make it your own. I added a mixture of cinnamon, coconut, granola, and walnuts that I chopped in the food proccessor to a large crumb.

Thick-Style Lebanese Garlic Sauce

Reviewed: Jan. 23, 2008

This is a simple and tasty recipe. The quality of the olive oil can really make a difference - buy the slightly more expensive bottle.

Birthday Bones

Reviewed: Dec. 4, 2007

These keep well. I have been testing to see how long they will last (I am planning on giving them to doggie friends during the holidays), and so far they are still good at three weeks - crunchy, no signs of mold, and the dog is still eating these. I did leave them in the oven a little longer than stated in the recipe. My dog is a chewer, and I thought she might like the resistence of a harder cookie.

Pisco Sour

Reviewed: Feb. 2, 2007

Very yummy, but I am glad I did not know there was an egg white in it before I drank it. It might have given me pause.

Baked Apples in Butter Brandy Sauce

Reviewed: Oct. 25, 2006

This is delicious, and very easy to make. The hardest part is coring the apples. We used pears and apples. I liked the pears a little more.

Choco-coconut Bars

Reviewed: May 9, 2006

This is incredible - these taste amazingly like a mounds bar. I scaled this down to 4 servings, and it made 15 good size pieces. Very easy to make. I did make one change: instead of pressing into a pan and cutting the chilled slab into bars, I rolled the coconut mixture into a log, and then cut into pieces. When dipping, I turned the bar over to coat completely, and this made a beautiful swirl over the top of each candy. Note: I did use my hands to mix in the coconut. I amy have used a bit more confectioners' sugar than called for. The mixture was very stiff, and this may have made it easier to dip the pieces in chocolate.

Yummy. It is a bit mushy, but I served it over rice which absorbed the liquid.

Ferg's Ulster Fry-up

Reviewed: Mar. 9, 2006

This has something for every one. I had a modified breakfast of eggs, farl and tomato, and skipped the meat. I was well satisfied, and really did not need to eat again until dinner. Farls are new to me, and I loved both types.

Moroccan Lentil Soup

Reviewed: Feb. 25, 2006

Excellent family fair -- the 10 year old and the two year old both devoured this soup. We did not find it bland, but I did buy my spices today (cheaper and fresher to buy the amont I need from the spice store).
