Whole Wheat Spaghetti With Cauliflower and Feta

Posted by MechanicalJen  

Very good. I realised too late that I didn't have any wholemeal spaghetti, so I opted for brown rice instead - and it was great! Tasty, simple and well worth making, And I've got leftovers for tomorrow! — Syrinx Oct 15, 2007

Tasty Tortilla Crisps

Posted by Geema  

Brilliant! I made these on a whim at short notice, using wholemeal tortillas. I didn't have any Parmesan, so I omitted that, and added a sprinkle of freshly ground sea salt and freshly ground black pepper instead (after brushing with oil and... — Syrinx Oct 12, 2007

Cheese & Spinach Stuffed Meatloaf

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Little Italian Princess  

Excellent. I am not sure I would describe it as "simple to make", though - rolling it up and transferring it to a baking tray was traumatic, and my meatloaf split and had to be patched. A couple of cracks opened up during cooking, and oozed a... — Syrinx Oct 9, 2007

Chanfana Lamb -

Posted by Catherine Robson  

I had high hopes of this recipe, because it is an extremely expensive dish (at least, in the UK) and I very much wanted it to be worthwhile. The smell as it cooked all afternoon was divine. With great anticipation, we served it up (with green... — Syrinx Oct 7, 2007

Spicy Brown Rice Salad

Posted by Mz. Cat  

I loved this salad. Very good combination of herb flavours, and just the right amount of dressing to flavour the rice without drowning it or making it soggy. I would call it "herby" rather than "spicy", though. This salad would be fabulous with... — Syrinx Oct 6, 2007

Chatni Gashneez (coriander Chutney)

Posted by Laura Rymel  

Refreshing, palate cleansing and fresh-tasting. I made a half-quantity but forgot to half the quantity of lemon juice - even so, it was delicious. With the correct proportion of lemon juice, this would be a good accompaniment to many things,... — Syrinx Oct 6, 2007

Dad's Crock Pot Spaghetti Sauce

Posted by Dave Dallas  

A good basic spaghetti sauce, which is easy to prepare. I hadn't tried putting parmesan actually into the spaghetti sauce before (rather than on top), and it smelt gorgeous while it was cooking This is a good basic recipe, which I am sure I... — Syrinx Oct 5, 2007

Very Tasty Chickpea Salad

Posted by Nelly Egypt  

Delicious salad, with quite a sharp dressing. I served it for lunch, on a bed of shredded lettuce, and it was lovely. There was a lot of dressing left in the serving bowl, so I'm going to re-use it tomorrow with a fresh batch of chickpeas (and... — Syrinx Oct 5, 2007

Lemon Chicken (Oamc)

Posted by David and Kat  

Superb. Deeply, intensely lemony. I used cut up pieces of chicken breast fillets. Very easy to prepare, and very easy to cook. I feel inspired to stock up the freezer! Reviewed for Pick A Chef, Fall 2007. — Syrinx Oct 3, 2007

Inspired Vegetable Stew

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by angelina ballerina  

Excellent. I couldn't quite manage the overnight wait, but I made it in the morning to eat in the evening. The flavours noticeably mellowed and mingled over the course of the day, and the stew was much better on reheating. I ran into slight... — Syrinx Oct 3, 2007

Perfect Pilaf Rice

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by angelina ballerina  

Very good. Nice, dry, subtly flavoured rice. Next time, I will half the amount of turmeric, because the rice was a rather lurid colour! I will use this method again (I especially like the relaxed timing at the end). We found that this quantity... — Syrinx Oct 3, 2007

Botanical Sandwich

Posted by NOOBchef  

Fabulous combination! I had to use white bread because that was all that was left at the baker's shop and I was in a hurry, and I doubled the amount of chicken (25g per sandwich didn't seem to be enough). Otherwise, I followed the instructions... — Syrinx Oct 2, 2007

Simple Avocado Salsa

Posted by NOOBchef  

Fresh, pure, appetising and healthy. What more can I say? My only reservation is that this quantity would easily serve 4 to 8, instead of the 2 indicated. Reviewed for Pick A Chef, Fall 2007. — Syrinx Oct 2, 2007

Gingerbread

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Asimakopoulou  

Much lighter and more cake-like than my usual gingerbread recipes, but very good. This gingerbread has an excellent balance of flavours. There is a slight problem in the recipe, in that the eggs (listed in the ingredients) aren't mentioned in... — Syrinx Oct 2, 2007

The Best Ever Red Pepper Curry Coconut Soup

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by angelina ballerina  

Warming and spicy. We liked it a lot, although I think a stronger red pepper might have been nice - next time, I will try it with more peppers (or with larger ones). I used a hand blender to blend the soup in the pan. Reviewed for Pick A Chef,... — Syrinx Oct 1, 2007

Vietnamese Style Crispy Pork Salad

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by dagac4  

Very tasty, and quite spicy. We served it in lettuce leaf boats, so didn't need all the liquid - if serving it this way again, I would half the amounts of soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice and vinegar, just to avoid having to pour the leftover... — Syrinx Oct 1, 2007

Cottage Cheese Walnut Dip

Posted by NOOBchef  

After reading the previous review, and checking with NOOBchef, I cut the amount of parsley to 10g (assuming 100g to be a typo). The result was a think and chunky salad - not really a dip, but nice on lettuce leaves or crackers. I don't know... — Syrinx Oct 1, 2007

Vegetarian Cassoulet (Cassoulet De Legumes)

Posted by lynnski / LA  

A tasty, wintry bean dish - and lethally garlicky! The method is a bit fiddly, in terms of preparing things separately then combining them, but the end result is worth it, and it was simpler than it looked in the recipe. Right up until serving... — Syrinx Sep 30, 2007

My Eggless Carrot Cake

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by mamanags  

Very quick and easy to put together. The recipe didn't indicate which size of cake tin to use, so I chose a 9-inch square brownie tin. The mixture didn't rise very much and stayed rather sticky, even after extra cooking time - in fact, it was... — Syrinx Sep 29, 2007

Lemon Risotto With Bacon & Mushroom

Very good. We used vegetable stock, and the juice of two lemons (slightly under the volume indicated), and a tsp of olive oil for frying, and double the quantity of mushrooms — and it was lovely (although a little too lemony for some in the... — Syrinx Sep 28, 2007
