"I was a bit disappointed in this recipe after the two great reviews it received. The part I felt needed improvement was the filling. It reminded me of filling for cabbage rolls, only it didn't have much taste. The filling was rather bland and needed extra spices or something. The part I did like, was the yogurt sauce topping. The yogurt gave the r..."

"I'm not sure exactly where to start with my comments. First, I didn't find this recipe easy to make like one poster commented. I decided to follow the recipe exactly until it became too frustrating. The instructions would benefit from being rewritten. To begin with, Step 2 preheats the oven to 400 degrees. Step 6 says to set aside the pear mixture..."

"I thought this was an average soup. If you like leeks and onions, you'll like this because this has a definite "Leeky" taste. I did like the texture of the soup from the potatoes. And I did like the little flecks of mushroom pieces after pureeing the mushroom. I would like to have this taste a bit less strong in the leek area though, but I think c..."

"First I need to mention that I don't like beets. But I wanted to see if I could find a beet recipe that would "disguise" the beet flavor enough so I would eat them. I decided to try this recipe because of the good reviews. I was able to eat half a beet slice, so I could tell that this was a pretty decent recipe for someone who probably liked beets..."

"I liked this recipe and will make it again. I used garlic powder instead of garlic salt since it says to add salt later and the dish turned out fine. The one thing I would change, would be to add the sugar after the beans are added. When the sugar was added with the other herb and spice, it hardened into little balls so no spice was on the beans w..."

"This recipe seemed pretty much like the other split pea soup recipes I've tried, except less salty. I cut this recipe in half. I also pureed some of the soup to make a creamier soup which I liked. If I make this recipe again I will add more meat and not bother to fry bacon. The bacon didn't seem to give it much of a different taste and just took t..."

"I tried a couple different ways of making this recipe. First, I made it as the recipe suggested but for 2 people. It took much longer than 10 minutes to de-stem one batch of watercress for two people, so I can imagine it would take double that for 4 people even though the recipe states 10 minutes for two batches. That was one of the main reasons I..."

"Interesting recipe. I needed a recipe to use the abundant crop of eggplants I have growing right now. I happen to love eggplant but my husband doesn't. Surprise! He actually ate this stew. He said it's not his favorite, but he would eat it again. Anyway I made some changes to the recipe. First I used 28 oz of home grown cherry tomatoes instead of ..."

"This looked like a nice, quick recipe so I gave it a try. I made one significant change. I don't like ginger, so I cut the ginger amount in half to 1 teaspoon. I would like to try making this recipe again with some "tweeking" to match my tastes. Even cutting the ginger in half left too much of a ginger taste for me. I will eliminate it the next ti..."

"We made this recipe this past weekend out on the barbeque. I thought with the high ratings that this would be an unusual and good recipe. Unfortunately, I found it to be rather bland. It was like not using any marinade at all. I used steaks instead of fillets, and I actually marinaded it longer than stated. I marinated the steaks for 2 hours, an h..."
