"The filling was OK but as an Italian American the name bugged me. I suppose you can put anything your heart desires in a cannoli, but to actually call it Cannoli filling for most Italians it has to have ricotta and chocolate chips in it, in New York it tends to have a mild taste of cinnamon as well. Extras are citron or candied orange peel. In are..."

"This was pretty good, but admitedly I altered the recipe to suit my tastes. I like wine for drinking, but have never cared for it's flavor in food so I left it out. I know it's supposed to end up a "Pilaf" but I followed the recipe as is except for the wine, and after it was cooked I substituted 1/3 cup of white wine vinegar for the wine I left ou..."

"They say necessity is the mother of invention. I was craving a New York style crumb cake and Tracy K recommended this one to me. To my dismay I discovered I only had olive oil and no milk and did not feel like going shopping. The olive oil would have been too strong a flavored substitue for the canola oil. That forced me to make a few minor change..."

"This cake was deliscious and the coconut syrup really brought out the flavor of the coconut. Nice and moist too. I filled it with my warm weather cream horn filling and use that as a frosting too. It worked out very well. This is definately a keeper :"

"This recipe was pretty good, but I had to remove 1 star because you didn't say to cook them first. I refuse to eat anything raw! I got around this by sauteing in a little butter or margerine first. This gave them a nice crunch. Deep frying is not reccomended as they fry too quickly and burn. I also suggest that you make some diped in white chocola..."

"This was absolutely delicious. I had only had catfish fried before so was quite suprized at how good it was in a stew. The cooking times were right on target too. The fish cooked to perfection, just enough to flake without falling apart. I made two minor substitues for convience sake. The supermarket did not have fresh turnips in stock, but they d..."

"This was perfect despite a few changes I was forced to make due to locally available ingredients. I asked Sue about the type of curry paste to use and she said she normally uses Thai red curry paste. Locally only green Thai curry paste was available, but they did have Red Thai curry sauce. I decided to use the sauce and doubled the amount as paste..."

"This was excellent. Unfortunately I did not have tomatoes on hand so I had to leave them out this time around but It was still good and I didn't miss them. Instead of purchacing all the other vegetables called for seperately, I found a frozen Chinese stir fry that had all the required veggies (except the tomatoes including the carrots and celery ..."

"Just a note since Tristanny mentioned in her review that she had problems locating sesame seeds. you can usually get them in bulk in a health food store, but in a grocery store I almost always can find a small amount in the spice section either in a jar or a small tin. You would find poppy seeds their too as both are also used as toping for breads..."

"Loved it! Sue warned me not to skimp on fresh parsley and use the dry "fish food" as she called it. So I went and bought fresh! Stupid me I had the parsley so much on my mind that I bought it and forgot to buy the mushrooms! Did not want to delay my meal another day, so made it without the mushrooms and it was still delicious. Next time I will add..."
