Baby Spinach and Goat Cheese Salad reviewed by chefaileenFrom: The Complete Canadian Living Cookbook: 350 Inspired Recipes from Elizabeth Baird and the Kitchen Canadians Trust Most (reviewed 16th February 2009)Very yummy, but not being a radish person I left these out.

Lemon Meringue Pie reviewed by jane warrenFrom: Betty Crocker's New Cookbook: Everything You Need to Know to Cook (8th Ed.) (reviewed 14th February 2009)I won't give many 5's.
