Spicy Carrot Puree

This was a very tasty cold soup and so colorful. I do not have a regular blender so I used an immersion blender instead, after having chopped all the vegetables first. I used the beef broth however next time I am going to use a vegetable broth... — Chez Desirée Oct 23, 2006

Sweet and Spicy Bacon

This was wonderful! The flavour was so nice and added such a great punch to my BLT. I fryed the bacon rather than baking it because my oven was on the fritz but next time will try baking it. The only thing I would change is adding a little... — Chez Desirée Aug 24, 2006

Herbed Crepes With Ricotta, Green Peppers and Tomato Sauce

This tasted great when it was finally done however, I would likely only make it for special occassions and not for a weekday meal (unless I had stuff pre done) as it took a while to prepare. I found the directions a little hard to follow and I had... — Chez Desirée Jun 27, 2006

This was really quick and tasty. I added some mozza cheese as suggested by Malee and also a little tomato relish. I think this is a great basis for so many other combonations too, like feta and small pieces of red pepper. Thanks! — Chez Desirée Jun 15, 2006
