Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Papaya–macadamia nut bread

    • Hawaii on November 15, 2022

      This was a solid C. The texture and taste of the quick bread were fine, but I was disappointed because there was hardly any taste of papaya, if at all. I used a perfectly ripe and sweet papaya, so that wasn't the issue. Other than the papaya bread not having any papaya flavor, it was ok. My dad likes it toasted with guava jelly.

  • Brandy-glazed zucchini bread

    • TrishaCP on August 24, 2017

      I'm not going to rate this because I didn't make the glaze, just the bread. Everyone enjoyed this and it was a fairly standard zucchini bread preparation, but I didn't think it was better than other zucchini breads I make that use less sugar, eggs, and fat. The bread itself held up fairly well, but is best eaten straight from the oven, or 24 hours later. Cooled the same day it had a bit of an oily aftertaste that wasn't desirable.

  • Swedish pancakes

  • Lemon buttermilk waffles

    • ccav on March 09, 2019

      Used soy milk mixed with yogurt instead of buttermilk. Great served with cottage cheese and bilberry/blueberry preserves. Very light waffles.

  • Fresh cranberry–walnut scones

    • PatFB on December 28, 2021

      Made these with 1 cup whole wheat flour and 2 cups white, and a little extra buttermilk. Grated the butter. Pops of tartness (ha!) and not too rich.

  • Peach cobbler

    • Nancith on August 18, 2014

      Nice flavor, but my husband thought it was a bit dry--perhaps the peaches didn't make enough juice. The author suggests eating it with ice cream or heavy cream which would add some moisture. The biscuits were tender, although a bit bland.
