This cake was okay. I would give it another shot with a Kitchenaid since the eggs require extensive beating and, frankly, my arm got tired after 10 minutes of mixing, but otherwise it's going into the annals of "tried and didn't work out terribly well."

This cake turned out dark and aromatic with a lovely velvety texture. A nice heavy winter cake that needs little accompaniment apart from some whipped cream.

This pasta is wonderful and makes a LOT: I usually halve the recipe and get at least 4 servings out of it. I imagine it would freeze well (the sauce itself without the pasta) but I haven't tried yet. Hearty and great for cold rainy days.

This is the best quiche I have ever eaten, let alone made. The sour cream made the egg filling rich and creamy (although the heavy cream helped with that too, but I could definitely taste the tang of the sour cream), and the caramelized leeks and onions were sublime. I may be going a bit over the top here, but it really is delicious.
I did have one issue: I made the quiche in an 8" springform pan and it took 70 minutes to cook through, unlike the 30 minutes stated in the recipe (although in her defense it does say that it will take longer in a smaller pan - I just wasn't expecting twice as long). Otherwise, the quiche is wonderful and I will be making it again.

I literally cannot get enough of this curry. I make it every 4-6 weeks, especially in the winter. It is healthy, easy, inexpensive and delicious.

Delicious - works well as either a salad or as a sandwich, and quick to whip up.

Easy to whip together, but make sure the butter is at room temperature or the dough will be very crumbly and a pain to work with. These are pretty spectacular with Skor bits thrown in the mix for that melted crunchy toffee factor, but all-chocolate is beyond fantastic as well. Decadent!
