About me: I love cooking, I love eating, I love discovering new recipes. I have so many cookbooks I sometimes lose track of which recipe is where - though this site helps a bit. I have gone low-carb in 2010, so that's different recipes to explore again. This also means I may not agree with my own reviews anymore if they were written in 2009 or before. ------------------ I have a lovely husband and ten-year old twins who also love eating. ----------------- You can also find me on LibraryThing, BookMooch and EatYourBooks, using the same handle.

Favorite cookbook: The Complete Meze Table by Rosamond Man

Favorite recipe: Melissa Clark's Roasted Broccoli with Shrimp

Daond Pasha (Meatballs with Pine Nuts and Tomatoes) from The Complete Meze Table

The meatballs were very tasty, but I did not really like putting all the pine nuts together - it made for fussy cooking and I think I would prefer finding a pine nut here and there instead of finding them... read more >

EBURY PRESS - 2003

Nice, but not that special.

I think I somehow missed the point of this recipe. The sage didn't stick too the birds at all, and I think I cooked them too long (how long is "almost overcooked" anyway?). A second batch that I cooked for a bit shorter time was better, but still unspectacular.

I liked this, but my 7 year old daughter hated it, so I am going to wait a year or so to make it again.

It needed 10 mins longer in the oven than the recipe said, even though I had halved the recipe.

This looked spectacular, just like the picture in the book. It smelled very nice as well. However, the pumpkin didn't get really soft even after an hour in the oven, and after that it was a bit dry - I don't know if it was overcooked, undercooked or something else.
