"This is a real winner. We make this year-round, it's so good. We usually follow the directions pretty faithfully, just adjusting jalape?os and adding Rotel tomatoes for extra kick. However, since we usually make a big pot of this, we usually cook orzo separately and spoon it into the broth; this way, the orzo doesn't end up overlooked and gluey..."

"I've never made soda bread before, but do have a good reputation for making bread, so when my friends asked me to make soda bread for a St. Patrick's Day feast, I chose this one. Lucky for all of us, I chose this recipe. It was easy to put together although the batter took longer to come together than I anticipated. I used a tiny bit less than ..."

"I would give this 10 stars if I could. Evelyn, you never disappoint - this was an absolutely fabulous stew. We used lamb, added about a cup of carrots, and a wee bit more wine (actually, we used both red and white, but otherwise made exactly as directed, and served with a dollop of mashed potatoes. The aromas and flavors of the stew are divine..."

"This was delicious! We used some leftover chicken breast, along with chicken thighs, and loaded up the stew with kale and lots of additional chicken broth. We also added red pepper flakes to add "sparkle" to the dish. We accompanied it with toasted, sliced french bread topped with European butter and a good red wine - it was perfect for a cold,..."

"I could've sworn that I'd reviewed this before, but I guess not, so here goes. This is THE BEST meatloaf I've ever had. I made it exactly as written, and it was excellent, and I've also made some changes/tweaks over time. I use super lean beef (~90 to 95% lean, multi-grain bread (with sunflower seeds, flax seeds, and walnuts in it, lean cente..."

"I paired this with FT's smoked salmon and peppered creme fraiche as appetizers to precede Ina Garten's Boeuf Bourguignon for a french-themed dinner. My guests were surprised at how tasty such a simple dish could be. I served organic radishes with just a bit of the stem left on, offered guests the choice of fresh unsalted butter from Maine or uns..."

"I love, love, lovve this recipe. The tiny crystallized ginger in the loaf is what elevates this recipe from a 4 to a 5-star. I used whole wheat flour and a bit more honey than called for, and it was just excellent. I served it as dessert with Kerrygold Irish butter and french raspberry preserves. It was a perfect dessert choice to follow a boe..."

"This was delicious! I featured this app, your french radishes, and your pain d'epices (for dessert at a french-themed dinner party. I wanted light appetizers, since Ina Garten's Boeuf Bourguignon was my main dish. Guests loved the flavors, and really liked the contrast between the creme fraiche and the smoky salmon; the cool crunch of cucumber..."

"I took this to a Fourth of July cookout last night, and it was definitely a hit! I made it exactly as directed. However, I made the dressing the night before, to let the flavors marry; I adjusted the seasonings by adding more anchovy paste, a bit more dijon mustard, and as other reviewers suggested, worcestershire sauce and a touch of white wine..."

"We just had this tonight at a friend's for dinner, and it was fantastic. She did use some of the suggested changes - lowfat cream cheese and lowfat sweetened condensed milk. She didn't make the meringue, and used key lime juice instead of lemon, and it was absolutely to die for. It tasted rich and wonderful, and needed nothing else to make it sp..."
