Persimmon Bundt Cake

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by evelyn/athens  

This was my first-ever cooking experience with persimmons...a positive one, I'm glad to add! Delicious cake. Other reviews were correct - the persimmon flavor isn't strong, but then persimmons don't HAVE a strong flavor! Nice, moist cake... — Maven in the Making Nov 12, 2009

Sooo good!!! We both loved this! Just cooking for the two of us and had a package of 1/2 pound of Dover Sole so I reduced the amounts for the topping to: 3 Tbsp. fresh parmesan, 1 Tbsp. butter, Dash cayenne, 1 Tbsp. mayonnaise, 1 Tbsp. sliced... — Maven in the Making Nov 10, 2009

Easy Farmstand Fresh Cream of Tomato Soup

Posted by Muffin Goddess  

This was very good. I'm embarrassed to say that I was too lazy to "seed" the tomatoes (although I did skin them). I thought that the stick blender would take care of them, but I was wrong! It was just a textural thing, but I think it would help... — Maven in the Making Nov 2, 2009

I just found Scotch Oats at Costco and made this recipe! Really nice. I forgot to put in the cinnamon but it was really good, even without it! (I'll try to remember next time!) Thanks! — Maven in the Making Oct 31, 2009

Poached Pears in Ginger-Lemon Sauce

Posted by Tonkcats  

Fabulous! Made this just as directed and really impressed my dinner guests! The syrup was so good - great trick using the poaching liquid (boiled down) for a beautiful amber glaze. (Hint: the liquid gets kind of foamy and darker in color when... — Maven in the Making Oct 24, 2009

Gingerbread Cake With Brown Sugar Sauce

Posted by Swan Valley Tammi  

This Brown Sugar Sauce was such a great find! I've recently needed to find dairy-free, fat-free recipes for a relative and this sure is a nice way to top off a nice gingerbread or other kind of cake. Everyone liked it. — Maven in the Making Oct 14, 2009

Pear Upside-Down Gingerbread Cake

Posted by *Kathy*  

This is SO good! Loved the pears, lemon and ginger on the top and the sugar-dusted pan made such an awesome texture! Really fabulous recipe! (I have to say I was nervous about the 1/4 tsp. of dry mustard, but I made it as the recipe said and it... — Maven in the Making Oct 14, 2009

Southern Buttermilk Biscuits

Posted by P4  

Yep, they're all right! These are delicious! (I must confess though, I didn't read the recipe all the way through and made them the traditional way - cutting in the butter with a pastry blender. Still they turned out fabulously!) Next time... — Maven in the Making Oct 13, 2009

Low-Fat Banana Bread

Posted by SJG3483  

Great Banana Bread - low fat or not! I did reduce the sugar to 3/4 C. as several cooks had suggested. It was just fine. I also added 3 T. wheat germ as another reviewer had suggested - nice healthy addition. I like my bread a little taller so... — Maven in the Making Oct 5, 2009

Easy! Oven-Baked Cod

Posted by Not So Good Cook  

This was such an easy great recipe! I made it with Pacific Northwest Ling Cod...mmmm! Loved the lemon zest in the bread crumb mixture. Because I was cooking for someone on a NO-fat diet (recuperating from surgery), I followed Chef #1186955's... — Maven in the Making Sep 25, 2009

Hot Fudge & Caramel Ice Cream Pie

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by BakinBaby  

Very good dessert (although, to serve twelve they would be terribly small pieces). I think it would be more accurate to say 6-8 servings. Thanks for posting. Easy and exactly what I was looking for. — Maven in the Making Aug 10, 2009

Garlic-Lemon Rotisserie Chicken With Moroccan Spices

Great flavor! I used a 6 1/2 pound chicken so it took more like 1 3/4 hours to cook but it was worth the wait. Everyone loved it. A perfect summer evening meal. Thanks. — Maven in the Making Jun 14, 2009

Scalloped Potatoes

Posted by GrandmaIsCooking  

This is a great recipe to have "up your sleeve"! I loved that it was so fast to put together. I didn't peel the potatoes (there's vitamins in those skins!), just scrubbed them well and put them through the slicer blade of my food processor.... — Maven in the Making Jun 14, 2009

Rhubarb Sauce With Zest

Very nice. I loved the addition of the orange zest. Actually, what I used was the zest of a mandarin orange but it still was wonderful. Thank you so much! — Maven in the Making Jun 14, 2009

Country Pork Ribs

Posted by Skeeter  

Love this marinade/barbecue sauce! Fruity, spicy, and interesting! (Well, actually, I left out the horseradish because I'm not fond of it - and it was even good without it!) Grilled them on the barbecue just as you suggested...mmmmm! Thanks. — Maven in the Making Jun 10, 2009

Old-fashioned Banana Cream Pie

Posted by Lennie  

Went over very well! (I had a smaller 7 inch crust leftover from pastry I'd made for another pie, so I reduced all the ingredients by a third — using 2 C. milk, 1/2 C. sugar, 3 1/2 Tbsp flour, dash salt, 2 egg yolks, still the 1 tsp. vanilla and... — Maven in the Making May 4, 2009

rockin' rice pudding

Fabulous and Fast! I used leftover rice from the dinner the night previous when I WAY overestimated how much rice was needed! Loved the addition of the lemon zest. I almost didn't put it in but it adds such a nice depth of flavor with the... — Maven in the Making Apr 29, 2009
