Corn and Potato Chowder reviewed by shiltonFrom: Best-Ever Soups (reviewed 30th October 2010)This soup is more milky than creamy, but has a nice flavor. It isn't thick like I want chowder to be, so I might look for a different recipe in the future.... | |
Cured Lemons reviewed by bhnycFrom: Ad Hoc at Home (reviewed 30th October 2010)Hmmm...the jury may still be out on these. I made them two weeks before I wanted to use them. As I checked on them, I have to say that I really didn't... | |
Creamy leek and ginger soup with carrot-puree swirl reviewed by westerFrom: Things Cooks Love: Implements, Ingredients, Recipes (reviewed 30th October 2010)This is a nicely spicy soup.

Spiced Mixed Nuts reviewed by sturlingtonFrom: Ad Hoc at Home (reviewed 30th October 2010)I actually thought this recipe needed more salt, but maybe that was because I was starting with completely unsalted nuts. I don't mess with hazelnuts,... | |

Brown Sugar and Ginger Pumpkin Bread reviewed by sewit12From: High Flavor, Low Labor: Reinventing Weeknight Cooking (reviewed 2nd November 2010)Easy...no mix master required...I added candied ginger...not a spectacular recipe, but very tasty and certainly worth making. | |
Pear, Lemon and Mint reviewed by westerFrom: Thirst (reviewed 3rd November 2010)I think my pears were too large, the mint and lemon got lost. I used only two of them, and they made three glasses instead of one small one. I might try... | |
Spaghetti alla Carbonara reviewed by sturlingtonFrom: The Good Egg: More than 200 Fresh Approaches from Breakfast to Dessert (reviewed 3rd November 2010)I like this recipe because it provides a ratio of eggs to spaghetti that is handy for cutting down the amount to make. | |
Spaghetti alla Carbonara reviewed by sturlingtonFrom: The New Best Recipe: All-New Edition (reviewed 3rd November 2010)I agree with the previous review. This is already a high-calorie dish, but I have made it very successfully just using the rendered bacon fat so I don't... | |
Fennel, Prosciutto and Pomegranate Salad reviewed by aj12754From: Smitten Kitchen (reviewed 4th November 2010)This salad is oddly compelling. My husband and I both cleaned our plates and yet neither of us could really say we loved this. There just seemed to be... | |
Avocado, Mango and Walnut Salad reviewed by The Ducks GutsFrom: Barbecue Cook Book ("Australian Women's Weekly" Home Library) (reviewed 6th November 2010)A cheats review, as this is really one of my sister's recipes, but over the years it has turned up at many a family picnic.

Tangerine and Mango reviewed by westerFrom: Thirst (reviewed 6th November 2010)A great combination, fresh, sweet and bright. | |
Red Lentil Soup reviewed by shiltonFrom: Moosewood Restaurant Cooks at Home: Fast and Easy Recipes for Any Day (reviewed 6th November 2010)I like this soup, but it isn't my favorite - possibly because lentils just don't really captivate me. I have made a note in the margin to use lots of salt... | |
Spanish Potato Onion Soup reviewed by shiltonFrom: Moosewood Restaurant Cooks at Home: Fast and Easy Recipes for Any Day (reviewed 6th November 2010)I've made this soup twice.

Moroccan-spiced Meatballs / Marokkaans gekruide gehaktballetjes reviewed by friederikeFrom: Delicious (NL) (reviewed 7th November 2010)The idea was nice, the execution had faults. My main point of critique is that it tasted slightly dull while most the ingredients (chilli, tumeric, cinnamon,... | |
Warm Peanut Butter and Jelly Bread Pudding reviewed by hipcookFrom: The Food Network (reviewed 8th November 2010)The taste on this was fantastic - peanut butter and jelly plus a glass of warm, vanilla-scented milk, all at once.

Artichoke Tart with Onion / Artisjoktaart met Ui reviewed by friederikeFrom: Foodie (reviewed 9th November 2010)This was so close, so nearly a 4 star rating, because basically the tart was very nice, with a wonderful crisp shortcrust and a very rustic filling - if... | |
Orange and Celery reviewed by westerFrom: Thirst (reviewed 10th November 2010)This was worth trying. A good combination, somewhere halfway between sweet and savoury. Not really a juice to have every day, but when you are in the right... | |
Mushroom Pesto reviewed by sturlingtonFrom: Cook's Illustrated (reviewed 10th November 2010)This was a lot of fussiness for a so-so result, as is sometimes a characteristic of Cooks Illustrated recipes. Probably wouldn't make again. | |

Sweet-and-Sour Meatballs reviewed by zvantFrom: High Flavor, Low Labor: Reinventing Weeknight Cooking (reviewed 10th November 2010)I couldn't find apple jelly, so I substituted apple butter. I would NOT recommend this substitution. The texture of the meatballs was gummy and unappetizing.... | |

Fruity Rooty reviewed by westerFrom: The Abel & Cole Cookbook: Easy, Seasonal, Organic (reviewed 17th November 2010)I can definitely think of worse ways to get your vitamins in winter than by this drink. Very sweet and still quite fresh. The colour is beautiful too,... | |
Kiss Me Baby (or Maybe Not) reviewed by westerFrom: The Abel & Cole Cookbook: Easy, Seasonal, Organic (reviewed 18th November 2010)A very corny name and a quite pleasant juice. Slightly sweet, slightly creamy, with a hint of garlic (which will stay on your breath, yes). Beautiful pale... | |
Shredded Brussels and Bacon reviewed by westerFrom: The Abel & Cole Cookbook: Easy, Seasonal, Organic (reviewed 18th November 2010)This was quite good, but it probably would have been better if the book wasn't so vague about the amounts. How much is a small bag of sprouts? A pack of... | |
Santa Maria-Style Tri-Tip reviewed by MelMMFrom: Ad Hoc at Home (reviewed 18th November 2010)The flavor of the meat was very good and cooking times and instructions were spot on. My only problem with the dish was that, to me, the tri-tip was a... | |
Slow-cooked onion and cider soup with Gruyère toasts reviewed by friederikeFrom: Delicious (reviewed 18th November 2010)Well... it was okay, but I suspect that that's due to the nature of any onion soup rather than to this specific recipe. First of all, it was pretty sweet... | |
Pan-Roasted Chicken with Sweet Sausage and Peppers reviewed by sturlingtonFrom: Ad Hoc at Home (reviewed 19th November 2010)This was very easy to make, once you have the peperonata done. See that recipe for my specific comments on it. I made this with just the sausage and it... | |
Peperonata Rustica reviewed by sturlingtonFrom: Ad Hoc at Home (reviewed 19th November 2010)I didn't have time to make the 5-hour soffrito called for in the recipe, so I replaced it with a quicker-cooking soffrito from one of my Italian cookbooks.... | |
Soffritto reviewed by sturlingtonFrom: Ad Hoc at Home (reviewed 19th November 2010)I didn't actually follow this recipe as it took too long to make (I didn't have 5 hours before dinner when I started!). I substituted a different soffritto... | |
Spiced Chicken with Brown Butter reviewed by sturlingtonFrom: Real Fast Food (reviewed 19th November 2010)This is a fairly basic chicken recipe. I prefer to pan-roast rather than broil to keep the chicken from drying out as much. The spices could be changed... | |
Baked Stuffed Mushrooms reviewed by sturlingtonFrom: Cook's Illustrated (reviewed 19th November 2010)While these stuffed mushrooms were tasty, I don't think the recipe worked very well as written. It is nearly impossible to "pipe" goat cheese out of a... | |

Roast your sprouts reviewed by westerFrom: Klary Koopmans : Alles over eten (reviewed 21st November 2010)Not bad at all, but the roasting didn't really add that much to sprouts that made it different from other sprouts-with-nuts recipes.

Six-Minute Chocolate Cake reviewed by kaye16From: Moosewood Restaurant Cooks at Home: Fast and Easy Recipes for Any Day (reviewed 22nd November 2010)Well, what do you expect from a cake that you throw together in 6 minutes (excluding oven preheat time)? It's not great but good enough. | |
Chickpea and Swiss Chard Curry reviewed by andrewFrom: Canadian Living (reviewed 23rd November 2010)This was fairly good, but seemed to be missing a flavour note of some sort. For a curry, it had some heat, but not a lot of 'curryness'. Perhaps the spicing... | |
Four-Mushroom Penne with Goat Cheese reviewed by goodfoodhunterFrom: High Flavor, Low Labor: Reinventing Weeknight Cooking (reviewed 24th November 2010)This was very good but I feel like it needed something a little more, maybe textural?

Yokohama Beef Hot Pot reviewed by lisakelseyFrom: Japanese Hot Pots: Comforting One-Pot Meals (reviewed 28th November 2010)The flavor of this dish is quite good but there was very little broth. Next time I make it I think would add some beef broth. | |
Missy's Candied Walnut Gorgonzola Salad reviewed by bhnycFrom: All Recipes (reviewed 28th November 2010)This was good but I don't think it was as good as all the reviewers on All Recipes say it is. I added spices to the candied walnuts instead of making them... | |

Roast Salmon with Mustard Crumbs, Fennel, and Red Peppers reviewed by westerFrom: The Simpler the Better : Sensational One-Dish Meals (reviewed 1st December 2010)Nice.
