We hung the duck indoors with a fan on low in front of it, and it took about 6 1/2 hours for the skin to dry (next time we will turn up the fan. It cooked very nicely and I ..."

"Flawless! I followed the directions exactly (kneading by hand and made 20 perfectly-sized pancakes that were very authentic in taste and texture! In step #6 I made the dough into a 10-inch long cylinder so I could cut 10 1-inch pieces to make sure they were even. I served the pancakes with Peking Duck (Recipe #38023. Thanks Bergy!"

"Very nice way to dress up grilled chicken! I added 1/4 cup of fresh chopped basil and mixed it in with the tomatoes, oil, parsley, and spices. (Didn't want the herbs to burn. Then I topped it with the fresh parmesan and, since I already had the grater out, I added some fresh grated mozarella (a few swipes, 1/4 cup or less. Served over grilled c..."

"This was an excellent alternative to fried catfish. I followed the instructions and sprayed the fish with cooking spray before baking but the thyme and basil both burned and the flavor was a little off.

"I made this last night and my fiance was still talking about it this morning! I used 2 tsp crushed red pepper (we like it really spicy and added a julienned red bell pepper when cooking the onions.

"My fiance is from Hawaii and he grew up eating Spam Musubi all the time. I've never eaten Spam before but I love sushi, so I thought I would give it a shot. It was so YUMMY!
