Left out the peppers and added a pinch of pepper flakes. Added a rib of celery. Used a whole fennel - no need to remove heart. It is tender and sweet. If you hav ..."

"My wife loved this. She normally cannot eat Jambalaya because of the hot pepper, which I left out.
Modified recipe by addding just the tinyest pinch of red pepper flakes,4 small tomatillos for the green pepper as I was out of them. Instead of pre-cooked rice I used 1/2 cup of raw brown rice. Since I left out the cayenne pepper, I used 2 tsp. orege ..."

"Very tasty and easy to make. Nice soft mashed potato texture. Served in a melted butter sauce. The finely chopped porcini mushrooms made a nice color contrast. Make sure after hydrating that you chop finely as large chunks would make it difficult for the rolls to stay together.

"This is the wrong photo for the monkfish dish. This was a steamed whole sea bass cooked first in a steamer and finished in the wok. It was the first dish cooked for the show. The recipe for this dish is not given - only the photo.

Roasted the tomatoes and used one cup semolina, 1 cup all-pupose flour, 1 egg, 1 Tbsp olive oil, and a little salt to make pasta. Let rest an hour in plastic wrap.
Used a contou ..."

"This is a wonderful simple yet elegant finish to any meal. Used a couple of tiny key limes and the juice from half of one of them for a little more "bite". I also grated in about 1/4 to 1/3 tsp of fresh ginger into the dessert.
I served this with a small scoop of high end vanilla ice cream. Wow! What a wonderful taste!
One warning! Make t ..."

One bunch of fresh spinach run through the food processor with a little of th ..."

"Maybe it is a regional thing, but if you live in So Calif you are looking for Jamaica or Hibiscus flowers. They are available everywhere under that name. Have live here for 60 years and NEVER heard it called sorrel. There are bulk bins at Mexican Market since we have no Spanish markets in Calif that I have ever seen. I think on the show that Bobby ..."
