Maccheroni alla Chitarra con Tartufo dei Poveri reviewed by kaye16

From: Geometry of Pasta (reviewed 14th November 2014)

Spiced Quinces reviewed by friederike

From: Good Old-fashioned Jams, Preserves and Chutneys (reviewed 15th November 2014)

Just some preliminary notes, as I'm not supposed to open these jars for a month or two: a few things weren't entirely clear from the recipe, or I suspect...

From: Flavours of India (reviewed 16th November 2014)

Baked Quinces with Pecan Brittle / Gebackene Quitten mit Pekannuss-Krokant reviewed by friederike

From: Essen & Trinken (reviewed 24th November 2014)

Chewy Salted Oatmeal Cookies reviewed by jenncc

From: Food & Wine (reviewed 8th December 2014)

Brussels Sprouts with Lemon-Mustard Sauce reviewed by hipcook

From: Jane Brody's Good Food Book (reviewed 25th December 2014)

My other recipe for this sauce uses more butter, but this lighter version trades richness for a very pleasant acidity.

Mango Ice Cream Sandwich with Macadamia Nut Cookies and Tropical Fruit Compote reviewed by kaye16

From: Dinners for Two, Menus and Music: Vol IV (reviewed 26th December 2014)

The result of the recipe is better than 3, but the instructions and proportions are wrong, so I've down-graded based on that. Too bad. I made the mango...

Naan reviewed by kateq

From: Saveur Website (reviewed 27th December 2014)

The dough is way too soft. Portioning and shaping has to happen on a board and with hands that are constantly kept floured. It may just be that uping...

Jelly Doughnuts reviewed by Queezle_Sister

From: Smitten Kitchen (reviewed 2nd January 2015)

Carrot Slaw reviewed by Queezle_Sister

From: The Forest Feast: Simple Vegetarian Recipes from My Cabin in the Woods (reviewed 3rd January 2015)

Chile-Lime Veggie Noodles reviewed by kaye16

From: Eating Well (reviewed 3rd January 2015)

We liked this ok. It's easy and relatively fast. The recipe says it serves 5 with 8oz spaghetti. That seemed skimpy to me. For two I used 6oz spaghetti,...

Crispy Parma pork reviewed by redjanet

From: Jamie's 15-Minute Meals (reviewed 14th January 2015)

Potato Leek Soup reviewed by hipcook

From: Alton Brown's Gear For Your Kitchen (reviewed 18th January 2015)

dreamy winter vegetable chowder w/ mustard, lemon + crispy cabbage reviewed by kfranzetta

From: The First Mess (reviewed 26th January 2015)

Raspberry Cream Soup reviewed by vanessaveg

From: The Complete Book of Raw Food: Healthy, Delicious Vegetarian Cuisine Made with Living Foods (reviewed 1st March 2015)
