Creamy & Spicy Artichoke Dip With Pita Chips

(5 people found this helpful) Posted by MadzMom  

Made this recipe the night before serving, stored in fridge until baking. The only change I made was to substitute a whole, seeded chipotle chili for the fresh jalapeno. Everything else teh same. It was fantastic! Truly. I served this tonight... — P4 Sep 18, 2003

Chiffonade of Brussels Sprouts with Bacon & Hazelnuts

Posted by P4  

Please don't use bacon bits in this recipe. The small amount of bacon this recipe uses gives the brussel sprouts a nice, smoky flavor. Bacon bits tend to add an odd chemical flavor that accentuates the natural bitterness in brussel sprouts. — P4 Sep 1, 2003

(4 people found this helpful) Posted by Jangomango  

This was excellent, LLBunny! And easy, easy, easy! And versatile! I used a mix of fresh herbs - basil, flat-leaf parsley, marjoram an a bit of rosemary. Everyone loved it as a dip on bruschetta. Then a few days later, I took some of the... — P4 Aug 27, 2003

Roast Beef Sandwich with Spicy Mayo and Avocado

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by ciao  

Wonderful! We had these on a picnic last week, and we loved them. I used some leftover filet that I sliced very thin instead of the roast beef, and used french bread as suggested, with provolone. Loved the mayonnaise spread. We used it on... — P4 Aug 27, 2003

Smoked Turkey, Avocado & Brie Sandwiches

(8 people found this helpful) Posted by Jangomango  

Five stars doesn't begin to do it justice. This is one of the best combinations of flavors and textures I've had in a very long time, but it may be because I love all of the ingredients on this sandwich. First of all - I followed the recipe to... — P4 May 14, 2003

Mesa Grill Bread/Rolls

(4 people found this helpful) Posted by Sharlene~W  

This bread ROCKS! I was a little nervous when I saw how sticky the dough was - nearly a batter! But I just let it rise - beautifully, I might add! - and then formed a loaf, let it rise, slashed the top, and baked. It took about 40 minutes to... — P4 Mar 31, 2003

Simmered Pork with Mustard-Caper Sauce

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by s'kat  

Wonderful, S'kat! I didn't change anything, but I did use salt-cured capers, which I soaked then drained. The other addition I made (just a personal preference) was 2 tbl. heavy cream at the end to the sauce. Otherwise all the same. Very... — P4 Mar 25, 2003

S'kat I know you haven't tried this one yet, so I feel a little bad about this review, but I know if you tried it you you would probably agree with me. I wanted to like this recipe - I love coffee, love catfish - sounded so interesting and... — P4 Mar 25, 2003

Cod Cakes With Dijon Tartar Sauce

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by chia  

Wonderful codcakes! I made a couple of modifications: I used shallot instead of green onion, and I sauteed the shallot and green pepper together until just soft before mixing in with the rest of the ingredients. Otherwise, all the same. They... — P4 Mar 25, 2003

Orange-Scented Cinnamon Rolls

(4 people found this helpful) Posted by s'kat  

These are wonderful! Not too sweet, perfect for breakfast. I had a bit of trouble with the rising times - they took much longer to rise than indicated in the recipe. But still - they did rise, and they baked up well. The only change I made was... — P4 Mar 25, 2003

wild mushroom ragout

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by chia  

I thought this was wonderful. I used some oyster mushrooms in place of the portabellos. It was excellent! I served it over fusilli with a generous scrape of parmesan. I think you could probably use any combination of mushrooms in this. Next... — P4 Mar 25, 2003

Ultimate BBQ Chicken

Posted by P4  

Dolores, the reason the skin was like leather was because you didn't follow the method I laid out, or use the rub that I specified. I'm sorry it didn't work out for you, but browning the skin before grilling it was guaranteed to give you leather... — P4 Mar 6, 2003

Greek Style Pasta

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Just Call Me Martha  

I really liked the flavors in this dish, but ended up adding the chicken broth because I thought the sauce was too thick. I wish I'd added more. Perhaps the problem was in the feta I used, I'm not sure, but this sauce was un-attractively thick,... — P4 Feb 26, 2003
