Cranberry Panna Cotta reviewed by Queezle_SisterFrom: Food & Wine (reviewed 11th January 2015)This seemed like such a good idea - panna cotta without heavy cream (just butter milk) and cranberries for fruit. As written, there isn't enough sugar... | |

Baby Leek Gratin with Smoked Gubbeen reviewed by hipcookFrom: Kevin Dundon (reviewed 17th January 2016)I'm not quite getting the point of this dish. It's leeks in a cheese sauce - a fair side dish, but not terribly interesting. | |

Kartoffelcremesuppe mit Räucherlachs reviewed by friederikeFrom: Express-Abendessen (reviewed 24th March 2017)Nope, not enjoyable. It's not even the flavour (bland), it's mainly the slightly slimey texture that makes this soup unappealing. I forgot to add the cream,... | |
Persian-Inspired Eggs with Dates & Chili reviewed by southerncookerFrom: Simple (reviewed 4th April 2017)I found out I don't care for dates in my eggs. But I can say I tried before I decided that. I've heard people say they didn't like so and so only to tell... | |
Sweet and Hot Apricot Condiment reviewed by kaye16From: The Thrill of the Grill: Techniques, Recipes, & Down-Home Barbecue (reviewed 15th June 2017)We didn't like this much at all. Disappointing, since most of the condiment things in this book (salsa, chutneys, etc.) have been outstanding. | |

Creamy Peanut Slaw reviewed by CindyedgeFrom: Thug Kitchen: The Official Cookbook: Eat Like You Give a F*ck (reviewed 14th January 2018)As written, this recipe boring, flat, not at all compelling. I was able to rescue the recipe by adding some honey (I am not vegan but if you are, agave... | |
Cauliflower Soup reviewed by aj12754From: Taste of Home Recipes (reviewed 17th January 2018)Although I am sure this will be better on day two, I found it a little bland, even after the addition of the hot sauce included in the recipe. Uncharacteristically,... | |
Gebrannte Mandeln (German Candied Almonds) reviewed by kateqFrom: The Daring Gourmet (reviewed 29th January 2018)This is a lot of work to accomplish an okay candied nut. The mixing is truly arduous and the nuts at the end are encased in a delightful candy shell and... | |
