Potato purée with parsley reviewed by westerFrom: Roast Chicken and Other Stories (Ebury Paperback Cookery) (reviewed 24th September 2009)The taste of this stuff is pretty good, but it resembled a soup rather than a mash and the recipe does not really allow for control on that. Disappointing. | |
Grandma's potato, red pepper and zucchini gratin reviewed by westerFrom: The Best of Food & Wine: Vegetables, Salads & Grains (ILLUSTRATED) (reviewed 28th September 2009)Okay, I guess. Just slightly too many ingredients with no particular synergy. | |
Crécy soup reviewed by westerFrom: Jane Grigson's Vegetable Book (reviewed 22nd October 2009)A bit bland. Probably good baby food. | |
Bourbon Pecan Pie reviewed by janepriceestradaFrom: River Road Recipes II (reviewed 2nd November 2009)I screwed up something on the conversion and the pie never gelled. A little too bourbon-y for me. | |
Pork Chops reviewed by janepriceestradaFrom: How To Cook Everything: Simple Recipes for Great Food (reviewed 2nd November 2009)I made the Pork Chops with Mustard. It was very good but still a little dry. I think it needed a little bit more liquid. | |
Veal Stew / Gestowtes Kalbsfleisch reviewed by friederikeFrom: Culinaria Germany (reviewed 2nd November 2009)The veal was expensive, and the result did not match the cost. I suspect the fault rather lies with me than with them, though I couldn’t put my finger... | |
Butter Cookies / Buttergebäck reviewed by friederikeFrom: Ich helf dir kochen: das erfolgreiche Universalkochbuch mit großem Backteil (reviewed 17th November 2009)These taste fine, but they’re not very special. The dough tears easily, the finished cookies break easily – I wouldn’t do them again. | |
Carrot, Mango and Apple Slaw reviewed by aj12754From: Summer on a Plate: More than 120 delicious, no-fuss recipes for memorable meals from Loaves and Fishes (reviewed 22nd November 2009)I wanted to like this more than I did. Somehow the flavors never really came together in a harmonious way for me. As with almost every recipe in this... | |
Pumpkin, Prosciutto, Parmesan Lasagna reviewed by aj12754From: Cold-Weather Cooking (reviewed 22nd November 2009)Something of a disappointment as the pumpkin layer seemed somewhat under-seasoned. Easy to make but not a recipe I would make a second time. | |
Onion Soup Au Gratin reviewed by aj12754From: The New Basics Cookbook (reviewed 1st December 2009)I found this recipe for onion soup to be too sweet. The recipe calls for a quarter cup of sugar to be added to the carmelizing onions and this was way... | |
Beef and Vegetable Lasagna reviewed by aj12754From: The New Basics Cookbook (reviewed 1st December 2009)I was underwhelmed by this lasagna. Just average. | |
Red Bean Pesto reviewed by aj12754From: The New Basics Cookbook (reviewed 1st December 2009)Easy -- especially if using canned beans -- with good flavor but not really memorable enough that I have made twice. | |
Sesame Chicken and Asparagus Pasta reviewed by aj12754From: The New Basics Cookbook (reviewed 1st December 2009)In spite of a list of ingredients that promises lots of flavor, the dish is underwhelming. But it's the kind of dish you can play around with to try and... | |
Texas Italian Cream Cake reviewed by bookwomanFrom: Moosewood Restaurant Book of Desserts (Moosewood Collection) (reviewed 1st December 2009)Should be clear here - there isn't anything wrong with this recipe. It reliably makes this cake - which is neither Italian or especially creamy. It is... | |
Orecchiette with Brussels Sprouts and Bacon reviewed by aj12754From: Weir Cooking in the City: More than 125 Recipes and Inspiring Ideas for Relaxed Entertaining (reviewed 3rd December 2009)Tried this as a week-night main dish in fall/winter. My family didn't love the hazelnuts called for in the recipe and not much is lost by omitting them.... | |
Mini black-and-white cookies reviewed by sgogoFrom: Gourmet (reviewed 8th December 2009)I really wanted to love this cookie. So much that it's the second Christmas that I've attempted it. Last year I found that the cookies ended up unevenly... | |
Insalata di peperoni gialli (salad of yellow peppers) reviewed by westerFrom: Italian Food (Penguin Cookery Library) (reviewed 11th December 2009)Mishmash of unrelated flavors. I won't be making this again. | |
Bouillabaisse reviewed by friederikeFrom: The Essential Seafood Cookbook (reviewed 19th December 2009)BF prepared this a couple of months ago; I mention this because he usually is something of a ‘free spirit’ when it comes to cooking, largely ignoring... | |
Baked Mac and Cheeze reviewed by LeekaFrom: Vegan Yum Yum: Decadent (But Doable) Animal-Free Recipes for Entertaining and Everyday (reviewed 20th December 2009)I wasn't so keen on this dish because it didn't taste anything like mac and cheese to me but my husband really liked it. The sauce was too thick and... | |
Chili Salmon reviewed by BeckyLFrom: Sam the Cooking Guy: Just a Bunch of Recipes (reviewed 21st December 2009)I'm not so great at cooking fish and, even though I followed directions to the T, this did not turn out as well as I'd hoped. | |
Fennel, Mushroom, and Parmesan Salad reviewed by BeckyLFrom: Make It Italian : The Taste and Technique of Italian Home Cooking (reviewed 21st December 2009)I was not particularly fond of this salad, I think it was the fennel that did it for me. It was a hit with others, however, and was very easy to make. | |
A Consistently Good Gravy reviewed by BeckyLFrom: Jamie's Food Revolution: Rediscover How to Cook Simple, Delicious, Affordable Meals (reviewed 21st December 2009)We eat a lot of gravy in the south. I think that had I not been in a hurry at the time, this could have come out better. However, it was bland for my taste... | |
Cherry Vanilla Oatmeal reviewed by BeckyLFrom: The Food You Crave: Luscious Recipes for a Healthy Life (reviewed 21st December 2009)I am terrible at healthy. I found this recipe to be incredibly bland and negated almost all of the nutritional info by adding walnuts (for texture) and... | |
Buttermilk Bread reviewed by cgrunerFrom: Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day: The Discovery That Revolutionizes Home Baking (reviewed 24th December 2009)This one is just OK. It only needs to be baked 30 minutes, not 45 - that was way too long. The final product is not nearly as good as the master boule... | |
Honey and Five-Spice Beef with Broccolino reviewed by friederikeFrom: Stir-fry: Chop, Wok, Toss ("Australian Women's Weekly") (reviewed 29th December 2009)I used half the amount of five-spice powder and meat, pork instead of beef, and broccoli instead of broccolino. The dish smelled strongly of anise so be... | |
Tomato Lentil Soup reviewed by aj12754From: The New Basics Cookbook (reviewed 1st January 2010)This site (and my sister-in-law) led me back to this cookbook after a number of years apart following my earlier love affair with it in the early 90s.... | |
Turkey Tortilla Soup reviewed by aj12754From: Fine Cooking (reviewed 2nd January 2010)A recipe for using up left-over Thanksgiving turkey. Flavor was just ok. I didn't think the broth mellowed enough in the 20-30 minute cooking time so... | |

Lemon Buttermilk Loaf reviewed by southerncookerFrom: Weight watchers take out tonight (reviewed 3rd January 2010)This was pretty good but probably not something I'd make again. It wasn't hard to make just not extra special. | |
Red Roasted Chicken reviewed by southerncookerFrom: Weight watchers take out tonight (reviewed 3rd January 2010)This was good but we thought it needed a bit more salt and maybe some cayenne for some heat. | |

Also I wonder about the mix of herbs used (basil, tarragon and chives).... | |
Hashed Brussels Sprouts with Poppy Seeds and Lemon reviewed by aj12754From: The Union Square Cafe Cookbook: 160 Favorite Recipes from New York's Acclaimed Restaurant (reviewed 6th January 2010)A nice work out for my knife skills "hashing" the sprouts, although that work-out makes this a bit more time-consuming than my "go-to" recipe for sprouts... | |
Pineapple Upside Down French Toast reviewed by southerncookerFrom: Cooking Healthy with the Kids in Mind (reviewed 8th January 2010)Didn't really care for the taste of this one but it was easy to make. Not something I'd make again for us. | |

Pumpkin and Bell Pepper Curry / Kürbis-Paprika-Curry reviewed by friederikeFrom: Kürbis (reviewed 11th January 2010)Okay, though definitely too sweet; why add honey when pumpkin, bell pepper and coconut milk are already way too sweet on their own? Try omitting the honey,... | |
corn and sweet potato chowder reviewed by weaponxgirlFrom: 125 Best Vegan Recipes (reviewed 25th January 2010)Quite a nice recipe apart from the addition of dry mash potato flakes. Why you would use this in a soup recipe is a mystery to me as you hardley need... | |

Peach Pineapple Smoothie reviewed by southerncookerFrom: Healthy Exchanges Sensational Smoothies (reviewed 29th January 2010)This one has the addition of vanilla ice cream. Kinda like a peach pineapple milk shake. OK but not a favorite here. | |

Pumpkin Cookies with Brown Butter Icing reviewed by CooksbakesbooksFrom: Martha Stewart's Cookies: The Very Best Treats to Bake and to Share (Martha Stewart Living Magazine) (reviewed 6th February 2010)These are very delicate cookies.

Baked Cabbage Scented with Garlic and Juniper reviewed by westerFrom: Masterchef 1996 (reviewed 15th February 2010)This had a really weird perfumey smell that did not go well with the cabbage at all. On top of that, the cabbage was still half raw. Not enjoyable. | |

Garlic soba with broccoli reviewed by broadbeanFrom: Asian Noodles: Deliciously Simple Dishes To Twirl, Slurp, And Savor (reviewed 23rd February 2010)Garlicky and easy to cook. But too salty - if I made it again I would reduce the amount of soy sauce. | |
