We really liked this cake. I used frozen cranberries and chopped them in my blender for about 2 seconds. They didn't sink to the bottom. The cake was done in 55 minutes. Next time I will add a bit more cranberries.
-
The chicken was nice and tender but something missing in the sauce. I would brown some pancetta and add cream next time.

This is a quick weekday meal. I used Italian hot sausage but otherwise followed recipe. It was ready in specified time.

I used red and orange peppers instead of cauliflower and walnuts instead of pine nuts. Don't miss the lemon. This was delicious and a repeat.

The salmon burgers were delicious but I must confess I added about a third of a cup of panko crumbs. That really kept the burger together. Very nicely seasoned.
-
Delicious. Potatoes were shredded in cuisinart with French fry disc. Instead of creme fraiche I used sour cream. Another delicious recipe for smoked salmon from Ina
-
The filling is very rich but light. I served it with whipped cream because I didn't have any stabilizer. I almost feel that you can serve the filling as a dessert topped with whipping cream. There are raw eggs in it but you can use pasteurized.
-
Apple pie filling. The cornstarch left an aftertaste.
-
The cookies are made in a food processor. Made a nice crisp almond flavored cookie. I used a 2 teaspoon scoop and cookies turned out a nice size. Baking time was 16 minutes.

This made a very nice flaky dough. I made the single pie crust recipe and after rolling it out refrigerated for half hour. It didn't shrink and held it's crimp after baking.

This was delicious. Quick to make. I put it under the broiler for 4 minutes.

Made the cake only. Used half cup dutch processed coco, quarter cup black. Grapeseed oil instead of veg oil. Baked in 8" cake pans. Very nice moist cake.

This recipe worked using grapeseed oil and I also used 1/4 cup dutch cocoa and 1/4 cup black chocolate. The loaf turned out nice and moist, intense chocolate flavour and not too sweet
-
This was delicious. I used cream cheese and sour cream for the sauce. A few stuck to the pan and the broiling was uneven. I used fresh ravioli, so quick to make

Nice quick soup made in instant pot 25 minutes. I added cherry tomatoes, sprig of rosemary and rind of parmesan cheese. Served with cream and croutons. Repeat
-
This was a very nice moist textured cake. I substituted 1/4 cup with black cocoa. Baked in 2 8"pans but 3 6" pans would have made it higher. Swiss buttercream frosting from Icing on the Cake by same author

Made with store bought puff pastry. Simple ingredients but takes time. A repeat

Combined shrimp and bay scallops for this dish. The sauce is very good, a tangy/ sweet taste. Served with rice and a side of bok choy. Took no more than 15 minutes. A repeat.
