This is an excellent vegetarian chili. I'm not a vegetarian, but had a bunch of squash to use up. This came out as rich as my usual meat chili, with a lot of flavor from the squash and greens. Definitely a great addition to my regular rotation! The hardest part is peeling the squash, but if you want to cheat and buy the pre-peeled squash then its really easy to make.

I never had celery root before. This was an excellent introduction. This was easy and really tasty, a little sweet even. No other spices needed - just make it as is!

Having never made collard greens before, I was surprised at the variety of cooking times out there! This recipe seemed like a good mid-level, of about an hour. This came out terrific - we really liked the vinegar with bacon and greens. Will definitely make it again.

When a recipe has 1400+ reviews and 91% of the people say they'd make it again, you can be pretty sure that its going to work. This recipe did not disappoint.
A few notes just from my perspective - yes, it has a lot of sugar. The batter also felt very greasy (not the best for licking the beater;-) but that just leads to a moist cake. It also cooks a surprisingly low temp (300) for a surprisingly long time (1 hour) but all does come out well. I was glad to have all those reviews to reassure me that it would work.
This was a big success for a child's birthday cake, and may become my new standard.

I've never made coleslaw before, and I think I'm set with my recipe going forward! This was a big hit! A little sweet, but with some tanginess.
My only mistake was not shredding the cabbage in the food processor - it was a bit thick in parts.

This was an excellent rugelach recipe. I even got a thumbs up from the Jewish grandmother in attendance at the party where I served them.
I did play around with the filling, and ended up making a few variations. I like the cinnamon and sugar combo (although with pecans, as I'm not a walnut fan) in this recipe. My daughter liked the chocolate (just chopped up some chocolate) and my husband liked the apricot cherry jam version.
A bit of effort, and definitely be sure to allow some time for the dough to chill, but well worth it!
My only complaint with this recipe is that the written instructions are way too detailed! I don't need the conversion to grams, the hints at the end are kind of obvious - its sort of written for a toal beginner cook. I had to edit it before I could print it out so that I didn't go crazy!

I was looking for a simple unpretentious mac and cheese recipe. This hits the spot, using only cheddar and permesean cheese. The panko crumbs give a great crunchy topping.
The first time I made it there was too much liquid. The second time I fortuitously ran out of milk but went ahead anyway, and it was much better. I recommend cutting the amount of milk in half based on my experience.
It is scaled for a huge amount, so plan to cut things in half already if you are not feeding an army. Keep an eye on the instructions too, since some ingredients are not listed on top, and it casn be easy to forget to adjust those ones.

Love this recipe! I wasn't quite sure what to expect from the relatively simple ingredient list, but it is just really tasty.
I used the beet greens (sauteed separately) on top, and some feta cheese, and it was really delicious.

This is such a treat! Foundue + roast pumpkin is just awesome.
Definitely don't skimp on the cooking time, I undercooked mine, and the pumpkin did not scoop out easily. But I'll be making it again soon.

A big success.
As written, it seemed a bit bland. We looked at other comments on Epicurious, and did increase the overall spices - added some salt, pepper, thyme, worcestershire sauce to the meat, as well as garlic to the mashed potatoes.
A great inaugural dish for the newly seasoned cast iron pan.

This is a great recipe to have on hand for improvising based on what you have on hand.
You definitely need to double the eggs and cream/milk, otherwise you don't have enough batter to cover everything.
I'll admit that I always use a frozen crust, so can't comment on that part of the recipe.
I've made it with the ingredients as written, but also substituted different fillings (mushrooms, tomatoes, pancetta) cheeses based on what I have on hand.

Simply the easiest and best recipe! Pecans are awesome in salads, terrific on their own, and are so so easy to make so you have them on hand any time! A family favorite.

Tasty. I made it with chicken sausage, which was fine but I could see that something spicier would make this more interesting. I like the mustard and vinegar vinaigrette.

The recipe is for french toast too, but I just made the compote and served it with my favorite waffle recipe (Joy of Cooking, btw).
As written there is way too much cinnamon, I would halve it next time. But it was wonderful and warm and sweet with the waffles, and with some whipped cream made for an excellent treat.
