I've made this a few times for my vegetarian friends and it's always good. It's simply and good comfort food.

Simple, easy and fairly healthy.

Need to spray some nonstick to the glass pan because the crust stuck to it. It was still really tasty and a simple dish to make. We used more than 3/4th cup of whipped cream.

I love the earthy flavors of the mushrooms with the nuttiness of the pistachios. We left out the red onion because of an allergy and it still tasted great.

This was disappointing.  I didn't taste the white chocolate in it at all and even with 2 vanilla beans, the vanilla flavor was very subtle. Perhaps it needs a bit more sugar.

This is a tasty and easy dish to make.  It's a good weeknight meal.

This is a really yummy dish.  The flavors came together really well.  The sweetness from the caramel with the curry and lemongrass had a great balance.  I let it marinate for about 6-7 hours.

I may not have made this properly because it came out more like creamed spinach with croutons on top than a souffle.  I may have to alter my proportions next time

this is a simple dish that I've made many times.  It always comes out great and is really easy to prepare.  I love the taste combination of the brie and pancetta.  It is a great midweek meal.

The lamb was very tender but the braising liquid was very mild.  It had the earthy flavor of the Syrah but I was let down with this recipe.

This is so easy to make and incredibly delicious for chocolate lovers.  You have to be really careful with the time.  In my oven, it takes less than 12 minutes.  Extra time will overcook it.

This is a great winter dish.  It is very hearty and rich.  We've made it many times.  Be careful with the lemon zest because it can easily become overpowering.

This was very easy to make but we didn't like it very much.  There are a lot of strong flavors from the fish sauce to the lime but the flavors just did not come together very well.  The acid and the base didn't seem well balanced.  I would not make this again.

This was a very healthy and flavorful dish.  I used chili-garlic sauce and it added a nice kick.  I would definitely make this again.

This dish was decent.  If you're looking for a healthy, nutritious meal, this is great.  I wanted something light and hearty for a cold night and this satisfied me.  It doesn't have the strongest flavors but is great to make once in awhile.

my husband hates cauliflower but he tolerates it in this dish.  It's very rich but a nice indulgence once in awhile.

I love this noodle soup.  It's healthy and light with good flavors.  If you like noodle soups from chinese or vietnamese restaurants, you will like this.

I agree with the other reviewer.  This is a great, quick midweek meal.  The meatballs were really nicely flavored and combined withe the barley, it is so satisfying.

This is a great, quick lunch.  I really enjoyed the strong flavors of the salami with the green olive spread.

This was a decent dish but it's not quite as intense and spicy as a true Dan Dan Noodle from a Szechuan restaurant

This dish was pretty good.  It has lots of flavors but my husband and I both thought that it needed something more to balance out the flavors.  I will put a little more parmigiano and milk next time.  The flavor of the gorgonzola gets lost in the dish but overall, I thought it was an interesting, innovative take on gnocchi.

We loved this dish!  The soppressata is the most overwhelming flavor of the dish.  You don't taste the ham as much but we love the strong flavors and this is so easy to make.  I didn't have pepperoncini and added some jalepeno instead.

I've made this numerous times and it is very yummy.  It's one of my husband's favorites.  The flavors come together really well.  Make sure you have the proper proportion between the bread and the other ingredients. Too much bread takes away from the other flavors.

this is a really quick and flavorful meal.  I used chorizo and that really enhanced the flavor.  We've made this many times and it's not very healthy, but a nice indulgence once in awhile.

this dish was fairly average.  The marinade is quick to make but I didn't think the flavors were too strong.

This was a really flavorful dish that is easy to make.  I let the chicken marinate in the sauce for a few hours before cooking.

I've made this several times now and it's become a staple.  It's a really simple but satisfying recipe. The dressing with the feta adds great flavor to the tostada.  We omitted the tomato because of an allergy

These meatballs are really flavorful.  It's already really good without the chili sauce.  It depends on how sweet you would like it.  It's a a great hors d'ouvre.  The flavors really come together so well in this dish.

I made these awhile ago and they are just absolutely delightful.  I don't eat too much deep fried food but it's great as a hors d'vouvre for a party.

The pork was very tender but the lemon really overpowered all the flavors.  I would reduce the amount of lemon juice in this dish

it's a fairly simple dish but the flavors were really bland.
