Asparagus Mimosa reviewed by ZosiaFrom: Plenty: Vibrant Recipes from London's Ottolenghi (reviewed 7th July 2012)Very simple and quite tasty……cooked asparagus topped with olive oil, capers (not even a dressing is required!) and crumbled, cooked egg.
It was a... | |
Cauliflower and yogurt raita reviewed by westerFrom: More Vegetables, Please: Delicious Vegetable Side Dishes for Everyday Meals (reviewed 9th July 2012)Not really my idea of a raita - more a salad than a sauce.
The flavor was nice but somehow lacked depth. | |
Cardamom-baked Figs and Plums with Burnt Honey and Yoghurt Pannacotta reviewed by friederikeFrom: Crazy Water Pickled Lemons: Enchanting Dishes from the Middle East, Mediterranean and North Africa (reviewed 25th July 2012)It was hard to review this dish.

Scallops with Thai-Scented Pea Purée reviewed by kaye16From: Nigella.com (reviewed 10th July 2012)An interesting meal. And fast.
- The recipe makes a huge amount of the pea purée. I'd guess only 400g would be needed, a reduction of 20%.
- Too much... | |
Lemon Blueberry Dump Cake reviewed by Peckish SisterFrom: 30 Delicious Dump Cake Recipes (reviewed 23rd July 2012)This was a simple dump cake with 4 cups of blueberries. I used frozen ones. The cake mix was lemon and no nuts were used, so I did not find this version... | |
Souvlaki lamburgers reviewed by westerFrom: The River Cottage Meat Book (reviewed 15th July 2012)Nice but not brilliant.
The flavour was very good, but the mixture was a bit wet. I found the 2 cm a bit too thick - they took much longer than given... | |
Pasta Salad reviewed by Queezle_SisterFrom: DK Children's Cookbook (reviewed 16th July 2012)This was a decent pasta salad, it was quick and easy. But it didn't really stand out, nothing that special, not that memorable. | |
Caramelized Onion and Zucchini Blossom Frittata reviewed by Queezle_SisterFrom: Melissa Clark Food Writer (reviewed 16th July 2012)Zucchini flowers at the farmers market were irresistable, but I didn't want to fry them. After a bit of looking, I found this recipe - where the flowers... | |
Cauliflower fried in butter reviewed by westerFrom: The Frugal Gourmet on Our Immigrant Ancestors: Recipes You Should Have Gotten from Your Grandmother (reviewed 16th July 2012)Quite tasty.
A winter dish, even though all the ingredients are available year-round. In summer frying in olive oil is better. | |
Prawn Fried Rice reviewed by friederikeFrom: Donna Hay Magazine (reviewed 16th July 2012)3 stars - under the assumption that, dispite its title, it's not supposed to be Chinese food. You see, it was actually quite nice, it just wasn't even... | |
Tuscan Bread reviewed by ZosiaFrom: The Bread Baker's Apprentice: Mastering the Art of Extraordinary Bread (reviewed 17th July 2012)This bread, which is intentionally made without salt, is soft, yet chewy and surprisingly sweet. But it’s clearly meant to be eaten with highly flavoured... | |
Broccoli Egg-Lemon Soup reviewed by kfranzettaFrom: Moosewood Restaurant Cooks at Home: Fast and Easy Recipes for Any Day (reviewed 17th July 2012)The egg forms a creamy, rich broth.

Greek-Style Cannellini and Vegetables reviewed by kfranzettaFrom: Moosewood Restaurant Cooks at Home: Fast and Easy Recipes for Any Day (reviewed 17th July 2012)This recipe made for great lunches during the week. Leftovers reheated beautifully. | |

Ratatouille reviewed by aj12754From: Think Like a Chef (reviewed 24th July 2012)This is just fine as ratatouilles go -- slightly easier and quicker than the version at Smitten Kitchen but with not quite the depth of flavor of Deb's... | |
Eton Mess with Chargrilled Apricots reviewed by friederikeFrom: Donna Hay Magazine (reviewed 24th July 2012)After both the Ginger and Coriander Marinated Fish and the Prawn Fried Rice were such failures, DH actually wanted to never touch this magazine again.... | |
Little Quinoa Patties reviewed by Queezle_SisterFrom: Super Natural Every Day: Well-loved Recipes from My Natural Foods Kitchen (reviewed 29th July 2012)Nice texture with a mild flavor.

Artichoke Hearts and Peas (Alcachofas y guisantes) reviewed by friederikeFrom: World Food Spain (World Food Series) (reviewed 29th July 2012)Not too bad. It was a bit of a shame that what you tasted most were the artichokes, or rather: the fact that they came from a tin. Pity. For this dish... | |
Sherry Rice (Arroz al Jerez) reviewed by friederikeFrom: World Food Spain (World Food Series) (reviewed 29th July 2012)Basically, this was a kind of risotto. It was nice, but it wasn't as special as I had hoped it would be. The author's worries, stock from a cube would... | |
Lemon and Oregano Chicken reviewed by friederikeFrom: Falling Cloudberries: A World of Family Recipes (reviewed 29th July 2012)We had the idea that the recipe was slightly vague/confusing; mainly due to introduction. The chicken was nicely flavoured, but this could easily have... | |

I used both zucchini and yellow summer squash. | |
Mixed Vegetable Stew (Pisto) reviewed by friederikeFrom: World Food Spain (World Food Series) (reviewed 1st August 2012)It was nice, but it wasn't anything special and it involved a lot of work. Unfortunately, preparing several different kinds of vegetables will always involve... | |
Potato Tortilla reviewed by friederikeFrom: Spanish Food and Cooking (Food & Drink) (reviewed 1st August 2012)Nice, but pretty simple tastewise. I didn't really get why they would make us fry the raw potatoes - even after a total 30 minutes cooking time, not all... | |
Swiss Green Beans reviewed by lklodaFrom: The Enchanted Broccoli Forest (reviewed 2nd August 2012) | |
Shrimp with "Gazpacho" Sauce reviewed by aj12754From: The Union Square Cafe Cookbook: 160 Favorite Recipes from New York's Acclaimed Restaurant (reviewed 3rd August 2012)This was a pleasant change of pace with very nice summery flavors.

Mixed Rolls reviewed by friederikeFrom: 100 Great Breads (reviewed 10th August 2012)Unfortunately, the dough didn't rise properly - only when we placed the rolls in the warm oven at the very end. Try to prepare them early just in case... | |
Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Brownies reviewed by Queezle_SisterFrom: joy the baker (reviewed 11th August 2012)These were good, but not amazing, especially given the amount of butter and chocolate that went into them!
This is a rich chocolate brownie batter, with... | |
Lentil Soup reviewed by The Ducks GutsFrom: A Month in Marrakesh (reviewed 12th August 2012)A good plain soup which made a large potful. I made it with water, not stock, and it still worked, which is always a good sign. | |
Savory Garlic Shrimp with Chiles, Tamarind, and Sesame Seeds reviewed by tignorFrom: 660 Curries (reviewed 12th August 2012)The recipe says "A quick glance at the ingredients here might make you wonder if the chilies and garlic are overpowering. However, a mouthful of this curry... | |
John's Cure reviewed by hipcookFrom: Cooking from the Heart: 100 Great American Chefs Share Recipes They Cherish (reviewed 13th August 2012)Reasonably good cure. I used it on ribs and found it a bit too salty for my taste, but my family thought it was fine. Nothing revelatory here, but for... | |
Roasted Potatoes on the Grill reviewed by southerncookerFrom: Leite's Culinaria (reviewed 14th August 2012)These were very good but I didn't enjoy them enough to make them again. Nothing wrong with the recipe or the taste I just find it easier to make them in... | |
Medea Walker's spinach with yoghurt (burani-ey-esfinay) reviewed by westerFrom: Eat Your Greens (Network Books) (reviewed 15th August 2012)A bit like zaziki, but with spinach instead of cucumber. Nice but not spectacular. I used natural yogurt instead of Greek, and I already found it a bit... | |
Nilla Wafer Banana Pudding reviewed by southerncookerFrom: Leite's Culinaria (reviewed 17th August 2012)Although this was good my family prefers banana pudding with whole wafers and not crushed. We also don't care for whipped cream on our banana pudding.... | |
Cockeyed Cake reviewed by kalamansiFrom: The I Hate to Cook Book (reviewed 19th August 2012)I wouldn't say this is an amazing cake, but it's good; it tastes simple rather than decadent. The taste payoff does exceed the simple ingredient list,... | |
Baked Coffee Cake French Toast reviewed by southerncookerFrom: Joy the Baker Cookbook: 100 Simple and Comforting Recipes (reviewed 19th August 2012)This was good but hubby didn't care for it and son said just ok.

Fudge Brownies reviewed by BethNHFrom: King Arthur Flour (reviewed 21st August 2012)Good but not great. Definitely won't end my search for the perfect brownie.

Braised Spare Ribs with Black Beans / Geschmorte Rippchen mit fermentierten schwarzen Bohnen (豆豉排骨, dòuchǐ páigǔ) reviewed by friederikeFrom: Die chinesische Küche (reviewed 21st August 2012)Quite nice, but just as with the Eggplant with Spicy Garlic Sauce we served tonight, it wasn't as exciting as the recipes we're used to. Furthermore, the... | |
Green Bean Salad with Pickled Red Onions and Fried Almonds reviewed by westerFrom: Smitten Kitchen (reviewed 22nd August 2012)This was slightly disappointing. I can see these flavors could be brilliant together, but somehow it didn't work. It does still feel like it could be brilliant... | |
Hawaian Strawberry Dump Cake reviewed by Peckish SisterFrom: 30 Delicious Dump Cake Recipes (reviewed 25th August 2012)This was another well received pot luck dessert. I used a 20 ounce can of crushed pineapple instead of the 15 oz can called for and just did not use all... | |

Chicken-flavoured Bok Choi (雞油菜心, jīyóu càixīn) reviewed by friederikeFrom: Chinese Cuisine: Szechwan Style (reviewed 26th August 2012)Slightly boring. I didn't taste any chicken at all. We only had half the bok choi needed, which isn't a problem as we we're planning to have the other... | |
Corn Chowder in Winter reviewed by kfranzettaFrom: Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker: 200 Recipes for Healthy and Hearty One-Pot Meals That Are Ready When You Are (reviewed 26th August 2012)A very simple corn chowder recipe.

Oven-"Fried" Chicken reviewed by sturlingtonFrom: How to Cook Everything (Completely Revised 10th Anniversary Edition): 2,000 Simple Recipes for Great Food (reviewed 27th August 2012)An easy recipe, perfectly serviceable, but lacking flavor and panache. The chicken gets a little dry and needs a sauce or something to punch it up. | |
Crispy chicken fingers reviewed by redjanetFrom: The Food You Crave: Luscious Recipes for a Healthy Life (reviewed 27th August 2012)This was just okay. I was looking to find a way to use up a box of cornflakes I recently bought for another recipe and the idea of using them crushed as... | |
Grilled Marinated Chicken Breast with Yogurt and Asian Spices reviewed by aj12754From: The Union Square Cafe Cookbook: 160 Favorite Recipes from New York's Acclaimed Restaurant (reviewed 28th August 2012)I would describe the seasoning here as more Indian (in a slightly spicy without a lot of heat way) than Asian.

Mixed Mushrooms in Cream Sauce / Gemischte Pilze in Rahmsauce reviewed by friederikeFrom: Saucen & Dips (reviewed 28th August 2012)Nice, but far too complicated for what it was. Forget frying all mushrooms individually, or boiling the onion in broth! The only thing that really makes... | |
Zucchini with Five Seeds reviewed by westerFrom: Easy Indian Cooking (reviewed 28th August 2012)This was pretty nice and tasted quite Indian. I think next time I'll add more tomatoes and just a bit more spices. | |

Chardenoux's Salmon Cooked with Its Skin reviewed by sturlingtonFrom: Bistro Cooking (reviewed 29th August 2012)I have made this a few times, but I am not as enamored with it as I think I should be. Probably I like a more complex preparation for salmon. It tastes... | |

Flash-Roasted Cherry Tomatoes reviewed by friederikeFrom: Essentials of Roasting: Recipes and Techniques for Delicious Oven-Cooked Meals (Williams-Sonoma Essentials) (reviewed 4th September 2012)Not my type of food.

Merluza a la Sidra / Hake with Cider reviewed by friederikeFrom: Culinaria Spain (reviewed 5th September 2012)So-so. While DH definitely wasn't enthousiast, I did see it's shortcomings, but I could also imagine that if I were served this in a cheap little restaurant... | |
Pan-Roasted Green Beans with Five Spices reviewed by kaye16From: Indian Regional Classics: Fast, Fresh, and Healthy Home Cooking (reviewed 5th September 2012)Good, but I think I prefer the similar-ish recipe in Madhur Jaffrey's Spice Kitchen, Tangy green beans with ajwain and ginger.

Green Pea Pilaf (Matar Pulao) reviewed by kaye16From: Indian Regional Classics: Fast, Fresh, and Healthy Home Cooking (reviewed 5th September 2012)A fairly standard pilaf with peas.

Green Bean Salad with Pickled Red Onions and Fried Almonds reviewed by kfranzettaFrom: Smitten Kitchen (reviewed 6th September 2012)I made this recipe to use up a batch of pickled onions I had made for another recipe. The salad was fine, but not special. I don't know if I would make... | |
Crème Fraîche Ice Cream reviewed by ZosiaFrom: The Perfect Scoop: Ice Creams, Sorbets, Granitas, and Sweet Accessories (reviewed 7th September 2012)This ice cream reminded me of eating cheesecake; like a good cheesecake, it was smooth, creamy, lightly sweetened and just a little tangy.

Individual Apple Pies / Appeltaart in een bakje reviewed by friederikeFrom: Appeltaart (reviewed 7th September 2012)So-so, for 3 reasons:

Lentil Soup with Chipotle Yogurt reviewed by kfranzettaFrom: Sprouted Kitchen (reviewed 8th September 2012)This is a nice twist on a simple lentil soup. I like the addition of fennel, and I might even add a bit more the next time around. The recipe says that... | |

Miso Tahini Dressing reviewed by Queezle_SisterFrom: The Kitchn (reviewed 12th September 2012)It grows on you. When I first tasted it, I thought it was a 1-star recipe for sure. Then when I dipped some cucumber pieces into it, I thought, well,... | |
Warm Lentil Salad with Goat Cheese reviewed by kaye16From: The Very Best Of Recipes for Health: 250 Recipes and More from the Popular Feature on NYTimes.com (reviewed 19th September 2012)A bit disappointing. A good idea, but didn't work as well as I expected.
