Pasta with Peanut Sauce reviewed by LeekaFrom: The Peaceful Palate: Fine Vegetarian Cuisine (reviewed 1st March 2010)This was a very basic peanut sauce that definitely lacked some zest and zip. I think the spice quotient needs to be bumped up and next time I will also... | |
Best Cocoa Brownies reviewed by trbrionesFrom: Smitten Kitchen (reviewed 5th March 2010)Too sweet for me and not chocolatey enough, but I think some of the fault belongs with my oven. | |
Broccoli smothered in garlic oil (hare gobhi ki sabzi) reviewed by westerFrom: Great Food Without Fuss: Simple Recipes from the Best Cooks (reviewed 5th March 2010)With this title, I had expected more garlic and more oil, but this is pretty subtle. The turmeric turns out to be as important to the taste of this recipe... | |
Spiced Chicken with Brown Butter reviewed by friederikeFrom: Real Fast Food (reviewed 6th March 2010)Slightly disappointed. BF grilled this chicken to perfection in our grill pan (in contrast to the required oven grill method), but the spices just didn’t... | |
Grilled Aubergine with Lemon, Basil and Cracked Coriander reviewed by friederikeFrom: Real Fast Food (reviewed 6th March 2010)Similar to the Spiced Chicken with Brown Butter in that we used a grill pan instead of an oven grill (although I don’t expect that to make any real difference),... | |
Céleri-rave et carrotes remoulade / Celeriac and carrot in mustardy dressing reviewed by westerFrom: The Vegetarian Bistro: 250 Authentic French Regional Recipes (reviewed 6th March 2010)A pretty simple salad but it does pack a punch. | |
Creamy eggplant, cannellini bean & ricotta soup / Romige auberginesoep met cannelinibonen & ricotta reviewed by westerFrom: The Naked Chef (reviewed 9th March 2010)Nice soup.
I preferred cooking for 10 minutes instead of twenty, and not adding the herbs until the end. | |
Chickpea and leek soup / Kikkererwtensoep met prei reviewed by westerFrom: The Naked Chef (reviewed 9th March 2010)I love both leeks and chickpeas, but the combination was just like "erwtensoep", old-fashioned pea soup. Not my thing. | |
Everyday quick basic pasta recipe / Snel pastarecept voor elke dag reviewed by westerFrom: The Naked Chef (reviewed 9th March 2010)This is very nice, but I have not gotten to the stage where I could do it quickly yet. So, not an everyday thing. | |
Farfalle with a quick tomato sauce / Farfalle met een snelle tomatensaus reviewed by westerFrom: The Naked Chef (reviewed 9th March 2010)I already made my tomato sauce like this before I got the book - it's quite basic. But if you don't know yet how to make a good quick sauce from fresh... | |
My perfect roast chicken / Mijn perfect gebraden kip reviewed by westerFrom: The Naked Chef (reviewed 9th March 2010)I don't roast whole chickens that often, but if I do I will probably use this recipe. It's a classic, and rightly so.
I do prefer not to use parsley,... | |

Cranberry bean, pancetta and rosemary risotto / Risotto met borlottibonen, pancetta en rozemarijn reviewed by westerFrom: The Naked Chef (reviewed 9th March 2010)This was nice, but I had expected more with all Jamie's enthousiasm about the recipe.
Maybe I used the wrong kind of beans, the Dutch translation says... | |
Growing mustard sprouts reviewed by westerFrom: Mustard Cookbook (reviewed 9th March 2010)I am sure these are nice, but method II did not work for me, the sprouts fused with the paper towels and started to get moldy before I thought they were... | |
Pappardelle with sweet leeks and mascarpone / Pappardelle met zoete prei en mascarpone reviewed by westerFrom: The Naked Chef (reviewed 10th March 2010)Okay. Nice, but I know better ways to prepare leeks. | |
Broccoli Raab with Sausage and Grapes reviewed by sturlingtonFrom: How To Cook Everything: Simple Recipes for Great Food (reviewed 25th October 2010)We don't usually like fruit mixed with savory dishes so I followed the advice in the headnote and omitted the grapes. Instead of serving this on pasta,... | |
Lemon Icebox Pie with Gingersnap Crust reviewed by sturlingtonFrom: Fresh Every Day: More Great Recipes from Foster's Market (reviewed 12th March 2010)I made this for a Thanksgiving dessert. It was definitely very easy. | |
Anything Goes Granola reviewed by sturlingtonFrom: Food Matters: A Guide to Conscious Eating with More Than 75 Recipes (reviewed 12th March 2010) My notes: It is easier to incorporate the honey after spreading the granola mixture on the baking sheet. Also, I would bake a shorter time for the next... | |
Spiced potato cakes reviewed by broadbeanFrom: Relax, it's Only Food (reviewed 13th March 2010)I found this quite a lot of hassle to make, but if you like to make potato cakes you're used to that, and the flavours are very interesting. | |
Salade de Lentilles Vertes reviewed by aj12754From: Bistro Cooking (reviewed 13th March 2010)Just finished making this -- easy to pull together but I am underwhelmed by the flavor. Still -- it's a few hours until dinner and I am going to let the... | |
Dolcelatte Gnocchi reviewed by bunyipFrom: Real Fast Food (reviewed 14th March 2010)I used a local equivalent cheese, and regular not double cream. The result was quite rich enough, though the sauce separated a bit as it cooled down. | |
Rigatoni with meat and celery sauce reviewed by westerFrom: Trattoria (reviewed 15th March 2010)Not really anything wrong with this, I just had expected it to taste a bit more like celery. Instead, it's some kind of bolognese. Not bad, but just another... | |
ricotta honey pine nuts reviewed by westerFrom: Bread tomato garlic (reviewed 15th March 2010)Not much of a recipe really, and not one of those combinations that are so brilliant you'll forgive it not really being a recipe. Maybe next time (if there... | |

Lemon Curd reviewed by southerncookerFrom: Peter Reinhart's Artisan Breads Every Day (reviewed 21st March 2010)This was an easy lemon curd to make but we didn't like it quiet as good as we do the lemon curd I usually make. The one I make is Gale Gand's recipe and... | |
Sweetened Cream reviewed by NancyMFrom: Chocolate from the Cake Mix Doctor (reviewed 22nd March 2010)This is a basic recipe for whipped, sweetened cream with a touch of vanilla. It's called for as a filling in The Perfect Chocolate Cake recipe. While very... | |
Pasta with Sherry Vinegar reviewed by NancyMFrom: Leite's Culinaria (reviewed 22nd March 2010)My negative comments concern the writing of the recipe and not the finished dish itself.
In the head note, it is suggested that 2-3 ounces of pasta be... | |
Crash Hot Potatoes reviewed by NancyMFrom: Pioneer Woman Cooks (reviewed 22nd March 2010)This is a fun, different way to prepare small to medium potatoes. Since they need to be boiled first and then also roasted, they take a bit longer than... | |
Smashed sautéd Jerusalem artichokes with pancetta and sage reviewed by westerFrom: Jamie's Dinners (reviewed 13th November 2010)This tasted fine. However, there was nothing in the recipe that called for Jerusalem artichokes in particular. I actually think it would be better with... | |
Spiced Prawn and Coconut Pilaf reviewed by friederikeFrom: BBC Good Food (reviewed 23rd March 2010)Slight disappointment. I had expected something as good as the Vegetable Pilau I hade made a few months ago, but this dish tasted quite disbalanced. DB... | |
Not or Mom's Macaroni and Cheese reviewed by Pong PongFrom: The Curious Cook at Home (reviewed 25th March 2010)Very good but found the ggranchildren were as keen. More for adults | |
Spanish Brown Rice with Spicy Sausage reviewed by AlisonFrom: Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook (reviewed 26th March 2010)This was very tasty - I modified it and added chicken thighs. I would change it quite a bit the next time I make it ( and I will) I would add another pepper,... | |
Molasses cookies reviewed by westerFrom: The Fannie Farmer Cookbook (reviewed 26th March 2010)I made the spiced version. The cookies are nicely crispy/chewy but it is very difficult to see whether they are done yet as they have a very dark color... | |
Anise-flavored beet salad (Remolacha al anís) reviewed by westerFrom: Tapas: The Little Dishes of Spain (reviewed 28th March 2010)The anise complements the beets nicely. I think I'd use a bit more of it next time. | |
Jerusalem artichokes and peas reviewed by westerFrom: More Vegetables, Please: Delicious Vegetable Side Dishes for Everyday Meals (reviewed 29th March 2010)All very nice, good combination, but it somehow totally failed to excite me.

Root Beer Bundt Cake reviewed by kmngynFrom: Baked: New Frontiers in Baking (reviewed 29th March 2010)Although I enjoyed the flavour of this cake, it is not particularly outstanding. The root beer provides a fairly mild differentiation from a classic chocolate... | |
White Sangria with Agave Nectar and Drunken Peaches reviewed by cjrossFrom: Super Natural Cooking: Five Delicious Ways to Incorporate Whole and Natural Foods into Your Cooking (reviewed 29th March 2010)Good enough but not that inspiring.

Mrs. Callaghan's Soda Bread reviewed by slafayeFrom: Bon Appetit (reviewed 30th March 2010)Easy to do, but I recommend kneading the dough at least 20 times instead of recommended 10. | |

While... | |
Stir-Fried Coconut Noodles reviewed by mandeliciousFrom: The Minimalist Cooks Dinner (reviewed 30th March 2010)Good, though a bit on the bland side, maybe because I used ground turkey rather than pork or chicken. Adding lime juice at the end improved the dish. I... | |

Sweet Corn and Egg Soup reviewed by kyaralaoFrom: Madhur Jaffrey's World-of-the-East Vegetarian Cooking (reviewed 30th March 2010)Came out with a very mild, but pleasant flavor. I added a lot of crushed chili flakes and salt. The next time I made it I also added a head of blanched,... | |
Bean Curd with a Deliciously Spicy Sauce reviewed by kyaralaoFrom: Madhur Jaffrey's World-of-the-East Vegetarian Cooking (reviewed 30th March 2010)Very pleasant, but not especially spicy (or exciting). I made it just as written. | |
Everyday Cocoa Cake reviewed by silverlightcaFrom: Epicurious (reviewed 30th March 2010)Easy and tasty - not amazing, but a respectable cake for when you have a late-night yen for something chocolate since you probably already have all the... | |
Bittersweet Chocolate and Pear Cake reviewed by silverlightcaFrom: Smitten Kitchen (reviewed 30th March 2010)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... | |
Bolly Cauli (Aloo Gobhi) reviewed by kathleen440From: 660 Curries (reviewed 30th March 2010)Very coarse texture - I mashed it up a bit. The flavor was fine but not as vibrant as I'd hoped. | |
Fresh Dill - Basmati Rice with Chard and Chickpeas reviewed by roguenFrom: Veganomicon: The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook (reviewed 31st March 2010)I'm a bit hesitant about recommending this dish. For me, it was an odd medley of flavors that, reluctantly, came together at the end. The dill, lemon,... | |
Spaghetti alla Carbonara reviewed by portugoFrom: The New Best Recipe: All-New Edition (reviewed 31st March 2010)I'm not wild about this recipe; the olive oil seems excessive and takes away from the creaminess of the egg and cheese. It still tastes fine, (it's hard... | |
Carbonnade a la Flammande reviewed by portugoFrom: The New Best Recipe: All-New Edition (reviewed 31st March 2010)I was hoping this would be like the amazing carbonnade I had in Belgium, but without the red currant jelly, it's really just beef stew. (But still good... | |
Luxe Pound Cake reviewed by anemolihpFrom: The Cake Book (reviewed 31st March 2010)Very rich pound cake, thus the name I guess, but I find it's too heavy with the almond extract. | |
Spring Rolls reviewed by craftymo2002From: Chinese Cooking Class Cookbook (reviewed 31st March 2010)Seems like a very straightforward recipe for egg rolls, but was very labor-intensive. Because I wasn't comfortable working with raw shrimp and raw pork... | |

Pecan Shortbread Cookies reviewed by kellymccFrom: The Craft of Baking: Cakes, Cookies, and Other Sweets with Ideas for Inventing Your Own (reviewed 3rd April 2010)Not as spectacular as some of the other recipes in this book.
