Cookbook: Super Natural Cooking: Five Delicious Ways to Incorporate Whole and Natural Foods into Your Cooking
Rating: 3/5

Decent. Definitely filling, just not that creative of a recipe. I could come up with this myself - add some onion and mushrooms to quinoa... it tasted fine, but it didn't rock my w...

Cookbook: The Top One Hundred Pasta Sauces
Rating: 5/5

This is the kind of recipe you can make with what's in your pantry. I don't know if I've ever experienced this before, but hot tuna... it smells pretty strong. Don't let it put you...

Oatmeal Date Bread

Cookbook: Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day: 100 New Recipes Featuring Whole Grains, Fruits, Vegetables, and Gluten-Free Ingredients
Rating: 5/5

An excellent, sweeter bread. I'm not kidding myself that it's incredibly healthy, but it does include some whole grain flour & oats.

Cookbook: Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day: 100 New Recipes Featuring Whole Grains, Fruits, Vegetables, and Gluten-Free Ingredients
Rating: 2/5

I feel that a recipe like this was included in the book because the authors got multiple requests for a pumpernickel recipe. My own belief is that it's VERY difficult to make the p...

Cookbook: The Classic Italian Cook Book:The art of Italian cooking and the Italian art of eating
Rating: 2/5

If you look around the web some people seem to think this is the greatest sauce recipe ever. I really disagree. I found the flavors unbalanced. It tasted very strongly onion-y desp...

Rating: 5/5

This recipe uses peanut butter for sauce flavor but it's not overwhelming. The combination of flavors with the scallion, PB, mushrooms etc was very good; I never would have thought...

This turned out really well. I didn't have jarred roasted peppers so I used some fire roasted tomatoes and they went with the dish really well. The standout flavors are the goat ch...

Arborio Rice Pudding

Cookbook: Baking: From My Home to Yours
Rating: 3/5

*There is a confirmed error in this recipe; the pudding, to thicken, should cook in the final stage for 55 minutes, not 30! Other than the (huge) error made here, the pudding is...

Light Fruit Cake

Jan 3, 2010
Cookbook: The Fannie Farmer Cookbook
Rating: 4/5

I didn't follow this one to the letter; to be honest, all that candied fruit has about the same appeal to me as cold medicine. The only candied fruit I used was a smattering of pin...

Broiled Shrimp

Jan 3, 2010
Cookbook: The Fannie Farmer Cookbook
Rating: 4/5

Easy recipe; nice way to use up shrimp. I served it with orzo for a light meal. One extra thing I would do is squeeze some more lemon over the finished product for a little acid.
