I used store bought tomatoes, and the results didn't seem that amazing. I would only... | |
Butternut squash and tahini spread reviewed by broadbeanFrom: The New Vegetarian - Ottolenghi (Guardian) (reviewed 12th September 2011)This is basically like a hummous, but made from squash rather than chickpeas. It's a good idea, but I found it a little bland, and not worth the hassle... | |
Raw Beet Salad with Carrot and Ginger reviewed by Queezle_SisterFrom: How to Cook Everything Vegetarian: Simple Meatless Recipes for Great Food (reviewed 14th September 2011)Not sure how to rate this, as the beets from my garden tasted more like radishes (too much summer heat?), and I disliked the resulting sharp flavor.
I... | |
Shrimp Bisque reviewed by aj12754From: Saveur Website (reviewed 17th September 2011)Soupereasy and I made this soup for one of our weekly cooking projects. I suppose it is a good way to use up shrimp shells, but we were both underwhelmed... | |
Baked Eggs with Kale and Crusty Bread reviewed by sturlingtonFrom: Urban Pantry: Tips and Recipes for a Thrifty, Sustainable and Seasonal Kitchen (reviewed 20th September 2011)This recipe is fine, but not very creative or original. What bothers me about it is that it appears in this book, which is supposed to be about putting... | |
Plum Cake "Tatin" reviewed by bhnycFrom: Barefoot in Paris: Easy French Food You Can Make at Home (reviewed 25th September 2011)This was just OK. I thought it was way too sweet and then it got mushy fast. I won't be making it again. | |
Roquefort in Chicory Leaves reviewed by friederikeFrom: Finger Food (Le Cordon Bleu) (reviewed 26th September 2011)I didn't like it. It felt like eating pure butter! I guess it might be nice if you change several things, such as using less butter, more Roquefort (or... | |
20-minute seafood pasta reviewed by redjanetFrom: 101 One-pot Dishes: Tried-and-tested Recipes (Good Food 101) (reviewed 4th October 2011)This wasn't so great. It tasted nice enough, but it was kind of a pain in the neck to eat. I thought it was pretty clever breaking up the spaghetti so... | |
Touch-of-Grace Biscuits reviewed by Peckish SisterFrom: The Pie and Pastry Bible (reviewed 16th December 2011)I too had difficulties with these. I did weigh White Lily flour and opted for buttermilk. My dough was like pancake batter. I tried to shape it and it... | |
Sweet Green Tomato Upside-Down Cake reviewed by Queezle_SisterFrom: How to Cook Everything Vegetarian: Simple Meatless Recipes for Great Food (reviewed 15th October 2011)Great concept, but a flawed recipe.
The tomatoes were still crunchy at the end, and the cake's top was over-done while the middle not cooked through.... | |
Soup Au vin reviewed by aj12754From: Anthony Bourdain's Les Halles Cookbook: Strategies, Recipes, and Techniques of Classic Bistro Cooking (reviewed 15th October 2011)This seemed to us like a very wine-y version of French onion soup -- minus the cheese and bread. We were underwhelmed. | |
Ginnie's One-Pot Chocolate Sheet Cake reviewed by CooksbakesbooksFrom: The Family Baker: 150 Never-Let-You-Down Basic Recipes (reviewed 20th October 2011)If it were up to me, I'd give this one zero stars.

Pasta Fagioli reviewed by aj12754From: Cook Like a Rock Star: 125 Recipes, Lessons, and Culinary Secrets (reviewed 21st October 2011)I knew this would be a fairly thick soup from the picture accompanying the recipe. For us it was a bit too thick so I ended up adding almost 2 cups of... | |
Butterscotch Blondies reviewed by joeljkpFrom: Easy Comfort Food: Simple Recipes for Feel-good Favorites (reviewed 23rd October 2011)A bit gooey, yet crumbly. Ok flavor, nothing special. | |
Sao Biscuits reviewed by The Ducks GutsFrom: The Red Cross Recipe Book, 9th Edition (reviewed 29th October 2011)Only fair, but I think that it is the cook more than the recipe. The biscuits needed to be rolled thinner than I managed, and I forgot the salt. Also,... | |
Beef Ragout reviewed by hipcookFrom: Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook (reviewed 2nd November 2011)I was underwhelmed by this stew of beef, zucchini, and tomato. I found it watery and lacking in flavor. Perhaps part of the problem is that it's a spring... | |
Raw Potato Dumplings / Rohe Kartoffelklöße reviewed by friederikeFrom: Essen & Trinken (reviewed 12th November 2011)When I was a kid, hardly anything was made using a packet of instant food; in fact, potato dumplings may have been the only dish at all where this actually... | |
Würziger Kürbis-Brot-Auflauf mit Bergkäse reviewed by friederikeFrom: Meine Landküche (reviewed 15th November 2011)Just not worth the effort. I thought it would be a casserole, but actually it was more of a savoury pumpkin and cheese bread pudding.
My first issue... | |
Broiled Grapefruit with Vanilla Ginger reviewed by aj12754From: Epicurious (reviewed 16th November 2011)This was fine -- just not as good as I expected ... for me, the ginger seemed to compete with the tartness of the grapefruit rather than complement it. | |
Savoy Cabbage with Bacon and Mushroom Sauce / Wirsing mit Speck und Pilzsauce reviewed by friederikeFrom: Stern Gourmet (reviewed 24th November 2011)What an odd dish! The combination of savoy cabbage and parmesan didn't work at all, the sauce was very liquid, and despite all the bacon and mushrooms... | |
Qa'meh (Finely Minced Meat) reviewed by The Ducks GutsFrom: The Art of Persian Cooking (Hippocrene International Cookbook Classics) (reviewed 26th November 2011)Mild in flavour, but it might have been better if I had chosen one of the other additional ingredients, rather then potatoes, such as the sour cherries... | |
Rough Mashed Potatoes with Garlic reviewed by sturlingtonFrom: Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook (reviewed 27th November 2011)It took a lot longer for the potatoes to get tender than I expected. I think it is easier to make the mashed potatoes on the stovetop and keep them warm... | |
Gumbo reviewed by hipcookFrom: Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook (reviewed 28th November 2011)This is a pretty good chicken and rice soup. It is, unfortunately, a lackluster gumbo. With a dash of hot sauce and a sprinkle of file powder at the table,... | |
Hokkaido Pumpkin and Cinnamon Gratin / Gratin de potimarron et canelle reviewed by friederikeFrom: Ripailles (reviewed 28th November 2011)I have no idea why this is listed as a gratin. Let me tell you, it's not a gratin. It's a mash. A rather too creamy, nearly slightly liquidy mash. But... | |
Hilbeh (Fenugreek and Coriander Paste) reviewed by The Ducks GutsFrom: The Complete Middle East Cookbook (reviewed 30th November 2011)Nice, but we both agreed that it was "missing something". Strange, considering the ingredients. We had it on falafels, which were a bit spicy, but not... | |
Touch-of-Grace Biscuits reviewed by southerncookerFrom: The Pie and Pastry Bible (reviewed 30th November 2011)These were fun to make but I discovered we don't like sugar in our biscuits. I already knew we didn't care for sugar in our cornbread. Of course I do... | |
Japanse roereieren met tofoe (Japanese scrambled eggs with tofu) reviewed by westerFrom: Veelzijdige eiergerechten (reviewed 1st December 2011)I didn't care for this at all - it was very salty and didn't taste of much else. Also, the instructions didn't work well, the egg stayed liquid in the... | |
Cauliflower Soup with Stilton Cheese reviewed by aj12754From: Epicurious (reviewed 2nd December 2011)This was just ok -- and it could I think have been so much better with just a few changes. I did make a few changes based on some of the recipe reviews... | |
Hummus reviewed by sturlingtonFrom: How to Cook Everything (Completely Revised 10th Anniversary Edition): 2,000 Simple Recipes for Great Food (reviewed 3rd December 2011)I wasn't terribly impressed with this. It came out chalky and dry, almost bitter. This is such a common recipe that there surely must be better versions... | |
Inspiration Soup reviewed by kfranzettaFrom: The New Enchanted Broccoli Forest (Mollie Katzen's Classic Cooking) (reviewed 12th December 2011)This soup was weird. The marinated artichoke hearts added a vinegary taste to the soup that was sort of strange. My husband called this soup "pickle soup."... | |
Sweet redpepper jam reviewed by aj12754From: The New Portuguese Table: Exciting Flavors from Europe's Western Coast (reviewed 15th December 2011)I made this red pepper jam to go with the mini salt cod sandwiches.
The jam is really a snap to make though for my taste it is too sweet. The author suggests... | |
Yeasted Country Bread with Cornmeal reviewed by VermontnurseFrom: New York Times - Recipes (reviewed 18th December 2011)Like the other reviewer my loaf did not rise well befoe baking. First two rises fine. Ok bread, nice crust but not worth making again. I bake lots of bread... | |
Baked Eggs with Herbs and Vegetables (Kuku Sabzi) reviewed by The Ducks GutsFrom: Taste of the Middle East (Creative Cooking Library) (reviewed 23rd December 2011)The other half liked it, but I found it a little bland, and even a bit odd. Think crunchy lettuce baked custard. The saffron didn't come through at all,... | |
Plain pancakes reviewed by lemonadesandwichFrom: Breakfast Book (reviewed 31st December 2011)I've had lots of good recipes from this cookbook, but this basic pancake recipe is not one. They always come out flat. Try Joy of Cooking instead. | |
Hollandaise Sauce reviewed by The Ducks GutsFrom: Delia Online (reviewed 1st January 2012)The instructions were good, and the method simple, but the sauce didn't thicken. I think the problem was the cook, as I was nervous about pouring hot liquids... | |
Focaccia reviewed by skdouglassFrom: More Bread Machine Magic : More Than 140 New Recipes From the Authors of Bread Machine Magic for Use in All Types of Sizes of Bread Machines (reviewed 1st January 2012)Following the instructions gave me a focaccia on the thin/crisp end of the spectrum.

Baked Egg souffle reviewed by southerncookerFrom: The New Southwest Cookbook: Recipes from Outstanding Restaurants and Resorts in New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and Colorado (reviewed 1st January 2012)Hubby nor I liked this enough to make again.

Lazy Mary's Lemon Tart reviewed by skdouglassFrom: food52 (reviewed 3rd January 2012)Your lemons have better things to do than to end up in this tart.
I'm giving it a 2 instead of the 1 it actually deserved because it's LEMON. Lemon lemon... | |
Stir-fried Clams in Black Beans and Chilli Sauce reviewed by friederikeFrom: Cook Like a Master Chef - Tips for Kitchen Novice (reviewed 7th January 2012)A dish with potential, but boy it was salty!
We'll probably try again on Monday (if the clams survive the weekend), not use the stock cube and the salt,... | |

It wasn't bad just not great and I would have preferred something... | |
Mini Meatloaves reviewed by Milk_MaidFrom: All Recipes (reviewed 11th January 2012)These mini-meatloaves were cute and perfectly edible, but they reminded me of school lunch meatloaf - not something any of us really hopes to be reminded... | |
Orginial Durkee Green Bean Casserole reviewed by Peckish SisterFrom: cooks.com (reviewed 12th January 2012)My kids beg for this for holidays. The canned green beans and cream of mushroom soup are too much soup and too little vegetable. With the fried onions... | |
Apple Sharlotke reviewed by BarbaraFrom: Smitten Kitchen (reviewed 19th January 2012)A first for a Smitten recipe--this recipe seemed so light and easy but it didn't work for me. I left the cake in for the full 60 minutes, but the center... | |
Cherry Almond Crumble / Kersen-amandelcrumble reviewed by friederikeFrom: Delicious (NL) (reviewed 19th January 2012)There were so many things that went wrong with this dish! The corn starch agglutinated and did not dissolve, never mind how much I stirred; it was too... | |
Roxy's Grated Coleslaw reviewed by southerncookerFrom: Sara Foster's Southern Kitchen (reviewed 20th January 2012)Whew this slaw is tart. It wasn't too bad with the pork chops from page 162 but don't think I want to make this one again. | |
Cinnamon Chocolate Chip Cookies reviewed by veganpiecrustFrom: Welcoming Kitchen: 200 Delicious Allergen- & Gluten-Free Vegan Recipes (reviewed 22nd January 2012)I wasn't super impressed with these.

Bacalhoada reviewed by BarbaraFrom: Simply Recipes (reviewed 5th February 2012)This recipe for this Portugese salt code casserole/stew was just too plain. The kalamata olives were a good compliment, but it really lacked punch. If... | |
Blood Orange Port Marmalade reviewed by megaelimFrom: The Complete Book of Year-Round Small-Batch Preserving: Over 300 Delicious Recipes (reviewed 5th February 2012)I ended up with caramel, and I was watching this pretty closely as it cooked. I think it's too small a batch to easily pull off. | |

New Old-Fashioned Coffee Cake reviewed by ZosiaFrom: Flour: Spectacular Recipes from Boston's Flour Bakery + Cafe (reviewed 10th February 2012)This cake was somewhat of a disappointment.

Blood Orange and Rosemary Jelly reviewed by friederikeFrom: A Year in my Kitchen (reviewed 10th February 2012)Uh. We were having guests last night, and as the recipe advises to prepare the jellies the day they are being served as they could become too hard otherwise,... | |
Salmon Tartare on Green Olive Crostini reviewed by soupereasyFrom: Mario Batali Simple Italian Food: Recipes from My Two Villages (reviewed 17th February 2012)I give this a 2 because the Green Olive Pesto is rather nice.

Scrambled Eggs with Asparagus, Prosciutto, and Parmesan reviewed by sturlingtonFrom: The Cook's Illustrated Cookbook: 2,000 Recipes from 20 Years of America's Most Trusted Cooking Magazine (reviewed 26th February 2012)A good idea on paper, lacking something in execution.

Nutty Eggplant and Potato Curry reviewed by kaye16From: The Spice of Vegetarian Cooking: Ethnic Recipes from India, China, Mexico, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Europe (reviewed 2nd March 2012)A pretty boring rendition of an eggplant and potato curry.

Poached Pears with Prunes reviewed by ZosiaFrom: The Food Of Morocco (reviewed 3rd March 2012)It seemed like a good, basic recipe, with bay leaves and prunes adding a twist. Unfortunately, it also called for half a navel orange, peel and all. Cinnamon,... | |

Black Bean and Rice Salad reviewed by TwinkleFrom: Gluten-free, Sugar-free Cooking: Over 200 Delicious Recipes to Help You Live a Healthier, Allergy-Free Life (reviewed 6th March 2012)While easy and quick to make, the dressing is not a good combination of flavors. I did not care for the orange juice and balsamic vinegar mixed together. | |
Orange, Romaine, and Walnut Salad reviewed by ZosiaFrom: The Food Of Morocco (reviewed 7th March 2012)Crunchy and refreshing, but between the orange segments, and the orange juice and orange flower water in the dressing, the flavour was overwhelmingly orange.... | |
The Simplest Bean Burgers reviewed by sturlingtonFrom: How to Cook Everything (Completely Revised 10th Anniversary Edition): 2,000 Simple Recipes for Great Food (reviewed 11th March 2012)I would love to find a good bean burger recipe.

Apple Oatmeal Bread reviewed by havfaithFrom: The Bread Machine Cookbook II (Nitty Gritty Cookbooks) (reviewed 11th March 2012)The flavor is okay, but the loaf is super dry. Upping the applesauce by at least half a cup would help a lot, but as is, it's pretty inedible even with... | |

Quick Salmon Tikka With Cucumber Yogurt reviewed by btingFrom: Jamie's Food Revolution: Rediscover How to Cook Simple, Delicious, Affordable Meals (reviewed 19th March 2012)This was an interesting flavour combination for salmon-- a little bit Indian and a little bit Greek.

Chicken and Leek Stroganoff reviewed by btingFrom: Jamie's Food Revolution: Rediscover How to Cook Simple, Delicious, Affordable Meals (reviewed 19th March 2012)These were "pleasing" flavours, but I probably would not make this again.

Baked Creamy Leeks reviewed by btingFrom: Jamie's Food Revolution: Rediscover How to Cook Simple, Delicious, Affordable Meals (reviewed 19th March 2012)Maybe I don't love leeks enough to eat this much of them on their own.

Quick Steamed Microwave Pudding Cake reviewed by btingFrom: Jamie's Food Revolution: Rediscover How to Cook Simple, Delicious, Affordable Meals (reviewed 19th March 2012)Sure it's quick, but it's not that good.
