Why-I-Joined-Zaar Carrot Cake

Posted by Lennie  

Extremely delicious and surprisingly easy for something that tastes so good. I've made this several times, to rave reviews. I scaled the recipe to make 8, and reduced the sugar in the cake to 1 cup and in the frosting to less than 1 cup. When... — Syin Aug 14, 2009

Sure, the recipe was delicious. But or 686 rave reviews, I was expecting something ridiculously amazing and awe-inspiring. Sorry! — Syin Aug 8, 2009

Palak Paneer (Indian Fresh Spinach with Paneer Cheese)

Posted by Sue L  

One of my favourite dishes in authentic Indian restaurants. This is fast and simple, and tastes great. I modified it according to what I had - like using milk instead of cream, and chili powder instead of paprika. I also added more spinach as per... — Syin Dec 1, 2008

Hummus

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Charishma Ramchandani  

Brilliant! I love hummus, but never knew it was this easy to make. It turned out delicious. I used a pestle and mortar - and since everything is going to be smashed up I just used whole cumin and garlic. Most importantly, I sustituted four... — Syin Aug 9, 2008

Raspberry Jam

(4 people found this helpful) Posted by Pam in B.C.  

Excellent jam, very easy, and it works with frozen raspberries too. I just took them out of the freezer and left them at room temperature for 90 minutes. For a first time jam-maker like me, it is worth noting that while it may not seem so "thick"... — Syin Jun 4, 2008

Black-Bottom Banana Bars

Posted by Debster  

Extremely delicious and indeed moist. I used seven small bananas that I defrosted and blended to form a nice, smooth paste. I also added in 1/4 cup chocolate chips (definitely recommended!), and chose to use brown sugar since it goes better with... — Syin May 28, 2008

Kittencal's Easy Cinnamon Flop (Cinnamon Brunch Cake)

Posted by KITTENCAL  

I did add the egg, vanilla essence and sprinkled on some chopped walnuts. Ridiculously easy to mix, but I would recommend mixing the dry ingredients together, then the wet, then both together to prevent overmixing. The taste, however, wasn't as... — Syin May 1, 2008

Banana Banana Bread

Posted by Shelley Albeluhn  

Very moist and delicious. I split it into two 9 x 5 cakes - and I'm glad I did, because each took 60 minutes to bake through. I took note of other comments and covered the cake with foil half way through. I ended up using 9 small bananas (!), and... — Syin Apr 19, 2008

Low-Fat Oatmeal Muffins

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by spatchcock  

This is awesome! They taste amazing - moist and delicious - and I can't believe there is no butter or oil! I made my own applesauce using Applesauce, so I halved the brown sugar. Like many reviewers, I threw in some raisins (which I soaked in... — Syin Mar 30, 2008

British Scones

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Mille® ™  

This was really amazing, one of the best scones I've tasted. I substituted 2 tsp baking powder for the cream of tartar and baking soda. Next time, I'll brush them with buttery milk to make them look better. I also added 3 tablespoons milk and... — Syin Dec 9, 2007

Thai Grilled Chicken Thighs

Posted by barb63  

How easy! I simply tossed all the marinating ingredients into the blender and pulsed briefly instead of chopping. I also added a good amount (say two tablespoons) of Thai chili sauce. The smell was amazing. I grilled in my micro on high for 20... — Syin Oct 13, 2007

Now don't go "EEEWWW!!" before you try this!

Posted by ThatBobbieGirl  

I would have never thought of putting a combination like this together - but it tastes great! I pan-toast my bread AND the tomatoes in some olive oil first, and I always, always use a light sprinkling of salt. — Syin Oct 11, 2007

Baked French Doughnuts

Posted by Dreamgoddess  

Absolutely ace! I loved the doughnut-like flavour this gave to my muffins (I didn't have a doughnut pan). I'm definitely picking up a doughnut pan so I can make these again. Next time, I'll increase the nutmeg to give it a better taste. I thought... — Syin Jul 2, 2007

Lemon Cake Squares

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by MaeEast  

I followed the recipe exactly except for the topping, where I used 1/3 cup lemon juice concentrate (made from real lemons though), lemon zest and 1/3 cup sugar. It turned out just lemony enough for me, but too lemony for my sister, so I guess it's... — Syin Jul 2, 2007

Chocolate Cream Pie

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Young Living in Texas  

This recipe was easy to make, but it turned up a pie that was too rich. I guess it's more suited if you're bringing it along to a party, then for a small family. It doesn't keep well, either. The flavour starts to go even after a day in the... — Syin Jul 2, 2007

" Whatever Floats Your Boat" Brownies!

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Karen=^..^=  

At first, when I tasted the batter, I was afraid it wouldn't turn out nice. But once I had added in my WFYB (one cup of Hawaiian macadamia-pineapple brittle and dark chocolate buttons, with a huge spoonful of peanut butter), it was all I could do... — Syin Dec 29, 2006

Pasta With Garlic and Oil (Aglio E Olio)

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by KITTENCAL  

I served this plain. This was not bad as far as taste goes, but the fact that it's so high in fat and carbs makes it a huge turn-off for me. I wouldn't make this version again. — Syin Nov 25, 2006

Oven Fried Eggplant (Aubergine)

Libby's Famous Pumpkin Pie

Posted by KatieMom84  

My first attempt at a pie, and it was really good! I made my own crust, and used fresh pumpkin. I also didn't have evaporated milk, so I substituted milk which I thickened a little on the stovetop. It turned out a little too gooey, but the fridge... — Syin Nov 22, 2006
