Hot Brick Toddy

Posted by twissis  

I'm not actually going to give a star rating, because maybe it was me, but I found this undrinkable. The butter on top was not a particularly nice addition to my palate. Sorry. — Rachel Savage Feb 10, 2009

Light Rye Bread

Posted by spreadnjoy  

I made this with treacle because it's easier to find than molasses in Britain. I also used a bit more rye flour (3 cups rather than 2) and less wheat flour (2-1/2 to 2 cups) than called for. I'm not sure what difference these changes made, but I... — Rachel Savage Jan 13, 2009

Lemon Poppy Seed Loaf

Posted by Nancy Alexander  

Exactly what I was looking for. Only problem was that loaf took much longer to bake than 55 minutes. After 1 hour the cake was still very liquidy in the middle. It took closer to 1-1/2 hours to cook. Husband commented that, unlike most "lemon"... — Rachel Savage Jun 30, 2007

Grilled Chicken Breasts in Spiced Yogurt

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by ms_bold  

Yum. Husband has requested I make this again and I'm not disagreeing. Relying on previous ratings, I didn't make the salad and just stirred a bit of dried mint into the yoghurt sauce. I think I'd make it again in the same way. The sauce is... — Rachel Savage Mar 19, 2007

Roasted Eggplant with Orange Miso Glaze

Posted by Tebo  

My husband is not a big vegetable fan. When I put half an eggplant on his plate cooked according to this recipe he said there was no way he'd eat it all. But surprise, surprise there were no leftovers. He said it's the most vegetable he's ever... — Rachel Savage Mar 19, 2007

Chocolate Spritz Cookies

Posted by Tonkcats  

Wow! I finally got round to dusting off my cookie press yesterday to make a treat for colleagues who are actually in the office this week. I've had lots of people stopping by my desk to munch and chat and all have loved the cookies. They are... — Rachel Savage Dec 27, 2006

Have a Good Leek 'n Wine

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Bergy  

I made this last night, possibly using less leek than was called for (used 5 medium rather than 8 small leeks) and found that there wasn't enough sauce, despite doubling the amount of wine used. The leeks were well cooked but the sauce was just... — Rachel Savage Jan 1, 2005

Poinsettia (cocktail)

Posted by EdsGirlAngie  

Absolutely gorgeous! I used a bit less cranberry juice than called for because I didn't have enough in the house and it was still lovely and sweet. — Rachel Savage Jan 1, 2005

Pineapple Upside Down Cake

(4 people found this helpful) Posted by Honeybeee  

This recipe made a lovely, impressive cake. The only problem that I had was that it took longer to cook than the recipe called for — about 25 minutes extra! This might be just my oven which is a tad tempermental but I highly reccommend... — Rachel Savage Jan 1, 2005

Fresh Peach Cobbler

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by MizzNezz  

After having this recipe in "my cookbook" for about 2 years I finally got around to making it last weekend...and have made it twice again since. Very easy and delicious. Now I want to try it again adding a bit of brandy or similar to the peaches... — Rachel Savage Aug 1, 2004

Turkey breasts with brandy sauce

Posted by Pets'R'us  

Made this without the peppers (my stomach can't take them) and a bit of onion added. Yum! Sauce was rich and creamy and v. tasy. I served with wild rice and boiled peas. Will be making again (including a veggie version with mushrooms) for a... — Rachel Savage Jul 23, 2004

Best New England Corn Chowda (Chowder)

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Jennifer Michele  

This has become a staple food in my house. It's excellent and quick. I've tried adding some pre cooked chicken at the end of step 8 which makes it a bit heartier. I don't eat regular bacon; I had to add a bit of corn oil (step 4) since turkey... — Rachel Savage Dec 5, 2003

Peas Amandine

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

I concur with the other reviews. This was a huge hit! I cut the recipe in half, but the two of us still managed to polish off everything with no leftovers. If I were cooking for 4 and this was the main veggie side dish, I would definitely make... — Rachel Savage Oct 27, 2003

Chicken and Apples in Cream

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Miss Erin  

I made this last night and it tasted good. The sauce looked a bit strange — very beige and a bit lumpy. Everyone seemed to enjoy it though and there were no leftovers even though there were only three of us dining. I was serving leeks as a... — Rachel Savage Oct 26, 2003

Caipirinha

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by CarolAnn  

Delicious, STRONG and fun to drink. I will definitely make again. Found out in a magazine that this was "last year's" fashionable drink, but I don't care — the recipe is too good to put aside for the sake of trendiness. — Rachel Savage Jul 22, 2003

Mexican Flan (Baked caramel Custard)

(8 people found this helpful) Posted by Bergy  

A big winner for my dinner party. It looks so professional! I probably cooked it a bit too long in the oven because it looked so wobbly that I was sure it couldn't be done. Eventually I just took it out and it was fine after it set. The extra... — Rachel Savage Jul 22, 2003

Spanish Potato Omelet (Tortilla a la Espanola)

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by kenk  

I have tried this twice and I can't seem to get the potatoes to cook at the same rate, so there's always some crunchy ones — yuck! My husband has actually asked me not to make this again (which is something he alsmost never does). I will be... — Rachel Savage Jul 14, 2003

Caramelized Garlic Chicken

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Dancer^  

I used this recipe to make 2 servings but kept the amount of ingredients other than chicken the same and added the vodka recommended in one of the other reviews. The garlic got very brown very quickly in the pan and burnt a bit when the dish was... — Rachel Savage Jan 2, 2003

Quick and Easy Apple Tarts

Very quick and easy to make, not to mention yummy. I wound up using less almonds (didn't fit on the tarts) but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. My guests had no complaints either. — Rachel Savage Jan 2, 2003
