Beer Rye Sourdough Bread reviewed by jenncc

From: Bojon Gourmet (reviewed 12th September 2015)

Ravioli with Winter Squash and Sage reviewed by kaye16

From: The Sunset Cookbook: Over 1,000 Fresh, Flavorful Recipes for the Way You Cook Today (reviewed 2nd September 2015)

3.5 perhaps. The squash I used (Hokkaido Vert) was pretty bland, then so was the dish. A tastier squash would help. But something's wrong with the recipe. -...

Chard and Sweet Corn Gratin reviewed by Queezle_Sister

From: Cooking (reviewed 1st September 2015)

White Beans and Cabbage with Chorizo reviewed by friederike

From: Pure Simple Cooking: Effortless Meals Every Day (reviewed 18th August 2015)

Creamy Macaroni & Cheese Ham Bake reviewed by tignor

From: Biggest Book of Casseroles (Better Homes & Gardens) (reviewed 5th December 2015)

From: Isa Does It: Amazingly Easy, Wildly Delicious Vegan Recipes for Every Day of the Week (reviewed 22nd December 2015)

From: The Lee Bros. Simple Fresh Southern: Knockout Dishes with Down-Home Flavor (reviewed 2nd January 2016)

Trout Pate reviewed by hipcook

From: Mastering The Art of French Cooking, Volume One (1) (Vol 1) (reviewed 4th April 2016)
