Jamaican Lentil Stew With Coconut

Posted by rsarahl  

Ok, not great, not terrible. Crusty bread was a great idea. Tasted kinda potato-ish, sweet potato soup. We cubed the sweet potato, the directions were unclear. Here's some conversions for non-Americans and from-scratchers: 1inch ginger=1tbls, 4oz... — i and s May 24, 2009

Chicken Breast Stuffed With Feta Cheese, Sun-Dried Tomato

Posted by Terrence Maguire  

This recipe has become a common occurrence in our house. The suggested baking time cooks the chicken perfectly. We wrapped the chicken with bacon and then in foil to prevent drying out, and finished it off on the grill. Delicious! — i and s Aug 14, 2008

Creole Black Beans and Rice

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Tonkcats  

Unfortunately we had to use chorizo instead of a nice Andouille smoked sausage but it still turned out OK. We used a can of diced tomatoes instead of sauce, which we enjoyed. We'll be making it again, especially if we can find the right sausage...... — i and s Aug 14, 2008

White Bean Puree

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Trinkets  

This was very tasty. We found it light and refreshing without being too filling. Needed quite a bit of salt and pepper though, and we even added a pinch of citric acid crystals to brighten it up a bit without adding actual lemon flavor. We thought... — i and s Aug 14, 2008

Trinidadian Black-Eyed Pea Soup

Posted by ratherbeswimmin'  

This was really great! We were worried that it wouldn't have a strong flavor but we were wrong... we savored every bite. This went great with jerk chicken, which we shredded and added to the leftover soup for an extra kick. We also used dried... — i and s Aug 14, 2008

Gyro Loaf With Tsatziki Sauce

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Mercy  

Texture was perfect; flavor was close, but not quite gyro... I used lamb breast cuts and 'ground' them in the food processor. The flavor improved by aging in the fridge for a few days, and by grilling the slices. Ground beef gave it a distinct... — i and s Jun 19, 2008

Corn Tortillas

(4 people found this helpful) Posted by Roosie  

This is pretty much the recipe from the Masaca bag, but less water. I like it a bit dry because it's easier to roll and peel. I like to roll on a masa dusted silicon baking mat and use half a zip-top bag on the top (Mexico style). I roll... — i and s Jun 15, 2008

Mom's Chocolate Cupcakes

Posted by kmdipaolo  

Made a half batch, but then couldn't find my cupcake pan so I used a small springform. Best homemade cake I've ever made! Unlike 742492, mine didn't taste like vinegar. Frosted with a improvised mix of butter, table sugar ground in a morter,... — i and s Jun 14, 2008

King Arthur Flour: the Best Fudge Brownie Ever

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by dmac085  

These are the BEST brownies, period. They beat brownies from a box, from the store, and my old standby, #235379. I've made more than a dozen batches of these now, and they've always been perfect! I don't have King Arthur Flour — I used a nice... — i and s May 25, 2008

Pancakes

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by MaeEast  

Halved the recipe (used the extra egg half in an omelet) with great results. This is the second time I've made this recipe, and I like it a lot more than my old recipe (#25690) in terms of easy of prep and consistency of results. — i and s May 25, 2008

Sesame Chicken

Posted by Jenny White  

The flavor that some commenters say they're missing in this recipe is the vinegar. We tried the original sauce and it just didn't have that "kick" that is oh-so-important to this dish. We wanted to try this recipe because it isn't fried like the... — i and s May 7, 2008

Pressure Cooker Beef Stew

Posted by MizzNezz  

Maybe it's just my particular cooker, but I found the beef needed about twice as long as recommended before it was good and tender, consequently the veggies were pretty overdone. Next time I'll cut out the sugar, since I found it to be pretty... — i and s Jan 21, 2008

Jamaican Jerk Chicken for Two

Posted by Sue L  

This was really great - the marinade became sticky and sweet with grilling, and slashing the skin exposed parts of the meat that then became SUPER flavorful. Yum. — i and s Dec 2, 2007

Jamaican Rice and Peas

Really good! Our turned out a bit more purple than the picture, but they were seasoned just right - no salt or pepper required. The steamed scotch bonnet pepper gave it a lovely aroma with a manageable kick. — i and s Dec 2, 2007

Dulces De Calabasas (Mexican Pumpkin Candy)

I 'loved it', but I must have done something wrong. I didn't get the Dulce de Calabaza from the little Mexican grocery store of my youth. I turned a medium sized pumpkin into a handful of pumpkin raisins. They were delicious pumpkin raisins,... — i and s Nov 23, 2007

Buddah's Breakfast Sausage

Posted by Laudee  

Exactly the flavor we were looking for. We added a bit of marjoram and 10 small hot peppers. We left out the salt and added salt directly to the meat at the end (about .5 teaspoons per pound). We needed far more spice than called for here:... — i and s Nov 18, 2007

Meatloaf: Yes, Virginia There is a Great Meatloaf!

I was excited to make this recipe (especially the sauce) based on the quantity and quality of comments. The meatloaf recipe itself is exactly what I usually do, but with thicker dairy. I was quite disappointed with the sauce. No variation of... — i and s Oct 17, 2007

Authentic Kfc Coleslaw: the Real Thing

Posted by UnknownChef86  

Perfect! KFC doesn't sell slaw in my country (or MAC & Cheese, or potatoes & gravy) so I made this recipe. To my surprise I was actually able to find tarragon vinegar. The flavor was really good and tasted spot-on 24 hours later. — i and s Oct 11, 2007
