this is the second "staff fav" I've made that I wasn't thrilled with.  These are okay.. a little too dense; and i don't think it's b/c I overmixed.  Won't make again..

Not usually a crbacake fan but i liked these.  Make sure to FINELY crush the crackers.  Mine had a few chunks which my husband thought should have been finer.  I used Jumbo Crab meat from whole foods but broke apart some pieces.  Also used RedFat Mayo (what I had on hand) and they were fine.

I must not have beaten enough because most of them stayed as mounds and did not spread.  I'd try it again.. but not my first choice

A bit bland... served with some egg noodles that I used the sauce with) and sauteed carrots, mushrooms, snap peas and zucchini.  the chicken was cooked well, nice and moist.  has potential

not sure if my lemon was just super lemony but the dressing just didn't seem to be that great...too tart..not "asian" The salad would benefit from some chopped red bell pepper and mushrooms...would make the salad but perhaps use a maple-dijon vinaigrete

I marinated the whole tenderloin for a few hours in this marinade and then butterflied before cooking... It was quite spicy.  However, given it is butterflied I found the cooking time to be way too long.. mine came out to dry.  I cooked it on a Weber gas grill. Served with grilled sweet potatoes and broccolini

Based on other review I spiked mine with about an ounce of Creme De Menthe..the mint from the market wasn't that strong and it tastes a bit off when just using that alone. I added the liquor when I started churning it.  During the last few minutes of churning I also added some melted bittersweet chocolate (2 oz melted with 1tsp canola oil).. it came out really good..but of the three ice creams in this article (i've made them all), the pistachio turned out the best

I messed up and it was still very good, tho not a huge fan of dark meat.  I sauteed the tomatoes first by accident and then added the pepper/garlic etc.. thought it would be too spicy but wasn't..great flavor with the corn.. i did add 1tsp cornstarch/1 tsp water mixture at end (took out chicken first) to thicken sauce but this may have been b/c of my mistake..

My husband who says "I really don't like fish" really liked this recipe (tho he doesn't eat tomatoes).  Many times he commented that it was very good..which speaks volumes.  I halved the tomatoes & cilantro and added some blanched haricot verts and a few sliced pre-boiled yukon gold potatoes.  As it was super hot, i seared on stove then grilled the fish.  Served with grilled cauliflower.

very easy but kind of bland. maybe my onion and garlic were too old.  my husband liked it though

The fish was a bit bland.  Next time I'd add a bit more garlic.  Served with plain mashed yukon gold potatoes and started with a salad

Not sure why it was a staff favorite.  Good but prob. won't make again.  I overcooked the crust & it tasted burnt.  My fault but i let it go way past 8 minutes b/c the edges never looked dry.  my goof.. Also, this is the 2nd F&W recipe calling for a 4 1/2 fluted tartlet pan with removable bottoms.. I've looked everywhere and haven't found these!  I used a 4 1/2 springform. Served with fresh whipped cream.. 

again okay but won't make again.
