Grandma Max's Layered Jello Salad

Posted by Davalyn_rain  

I wasn't sure if this recipe would work as I had to make some minor changes. I couldn't find crushed pineapple so I put some pineapple rings in the blender and then drained them well. I also used raspberry jelly as I didn't have any cherry. Well,... — Perfectionist cook Oct 18, 2009

Soft Pumpkin Yummy Cake

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Lalaloula  

This was indeed a very soft cake, with a texture which was almost uncooked because of the amount of grated pumpkin. I followed the recipe to the letter but found it needed extra baking time ( I have a cool oven) and it was a bit heavy. It had a... — Perfectionist cook Oct 11, 2009

Pear Upside-Down Muffins

Posted by daisygrl64  

These were lovely but I did find them a bit time-consuming, maybe because I tried to arrange the pear slices in an attractive fashion. I found a quick way to cut the circles of baking paper though. I folded a piece of baking paper several times... — Perfectionist cook Oct 11, 2009

Sausages With Oregano Mushrooms and Olives

Posted by Pink Penguin  

This was very nice and very quick to make. I used very fatty and spicy sausages so I left out the added oil and used water instead of beef stock. I served it with some plain boiled rice. — Perfectionist cook Oct 10, 2009

Sarasota's Five Minute Microwaved Mashed Potatoes

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by SarasotaCook  

Thank you for this recipe. I adore mashed potatoes but find them very time-consuming to make normally. This worked very well although but I did need to microwave the potatoes for 10 minutes to get them soft enough to mash. I made them with chicken... — Perfectionist cook Sep 27, 2009

Home Brewed Vanilla Extract - Homemade - Copycat- Clone

Posted by Fauve  

This is excellent stuff. It has a great intense flavour and is far superior to the imitation essence. It only requires patience as it really needs to sit for the two months to get the aroma of the vanilla bean into the vodka. I made 1 cup of vodka... — Perfectionist cook Sep 22, 2009

Sweet Hawaiian Yeast Bread (bread Machine)

Posted by Chris from Kansas  

I made this recipe as written but substituted fresh milk instead of dried. It worked perfectly but I will note that I used an expensive bread flour which was 'ideal' for sweet breads. It really worked because my husband and my picky MIL went nuts... — Perfectionist cook Sep 10, 2009

Why-I-Joined-Zaar Carrot Cake

Posted by Lennie  

All I can say is WOW! I couldn't stop myself from eating this delectable cake. I made it as written but did add a little freshly-grated nutmeg and I grated the carrot quite finely which I think improves the texture. The cream cheese frosting was... — Perfectionist cook Sep 7, 2009

Blue Ribbon Peanut Butter Cookies

Posted by Pastryismybiz  

These were very nice cookies but I also got about 24 medium sized cookies rather than 36. I also added chocolate chips to half of the dough and they were much nicer as peanut butter choc chip cookies. Surprisingly my hubby enjoyed them more than... — Perfectionist cook Sep 3, 2009

Muffoletta Sandwich

Posted by Tastings by CeCe  

This was a great way to make a picnic lunch, much faster than individual sandwiches! I liked the fact you made it from the previous day and it looked great when you sliced it into quarters. The only change I made was to use an olive paste from the... — Perfectionist cook Aug 18, 2009

Japanese Mum's Chicken

Posted by JustJanS  

This was very nice. I found that it did take a while for the sauce to boil down but the resulting flavour was worth it. Certainly an easy and convenient recipe to make. Thanks for posting. — Perfectionist cook Aug 3, 2009

Lee Lee's Famous Chocolate Sauce for Ice Cream

Posted by Bev  

This actually lived up to its reputation. It was a delicious sauce with the butter giving it a rich flavour. I even tweaked it a little by adding 25g of couverture at the end to make it a bit thicker. Highly recommended. — Perfectionist cook Jul 16, 2009

Cocoa Cottage Cheesecake

Posted by PumpKIM  

Oh dear, something went wrong with this recipe. Although I followed it exactly there was far too much gelatin resulting in a rubbery texture and overpowering gelatin flavour. I used 1 ounce= 30grams which worked out to be 2 and a half sachets but... — Perfectionist cook Jul 3, 2009

Zucchini a Scapece (Marinated Zucchini)

Posted by tigerduck  

This was nice but I found it a little heavy with the frying making the zucchini a bit heavy. It did taste like something you buy from an Italian delicatessen but I was expecting something more intense as a flavour. — Perfectionist cook Jul 2, 2009

Jaffa Muffins

Posted by Fairy Nuff  

Really yummy! It is the first time I have made muffins with the rub in butter method, usually I mix wet and dry ingredients, so I was pleased to see such good results. I made 6 normal and 24 mini-muffins and I took some to a staff meeting. They... — Perfectionist cook Jun 17, 2009

Moist and delicious, this is a great meatloaf recipe and very simple to make. Enjoyed by the whole family for lunch, I served it with coleslaw and slices of garden-fresh cucumber. Thanks for a keeper. — Perfectionist cook Jun 14, 2009

Australian Coleslaw

Posted by *Bellinda*  

This was excellent! It really did taste authentically Aussie and reminded me of childhood barbecues with grilled sausages and coleslaw. I reduced the sugar slightly and used cider vinegar and it was delicious. Thanks for posting. — Perfectionist cook Jun 14, 2009

Homemade Oreos

Posted by lizbits  

These were lovely cookies, not identical to the Oreo taste but probably much healthier. I actually skipped making the filling and used vanilla ice-cream instead to make ice-cream cookie sandwiches. Yum! — Perfectionist cook Jun 13, 2009

Strawberries With Balsamic Vinegar

Posted by Pot Scrubber  

Very nice and simple recipe. For those who haven't tried this before, you really can't tell that there is vinegar in the recipe. My husband tasted the strawberries, called them delicious then recoiled when I said they had balsamic vinegar in them!... — Perfectionist cook Jun 7, 2009

Easy Caramelized Bananas

Posted by Maito  

I thought these were delicious but very sweet. I overcrowded the pan and had trouble flipping them in time. Next time I will make two batches. I had them for breakfast on some chocolate bread. Yum! — Perfectionist cook Jun 7, 2009
