"This was quick, easy and darn near foolproof. Plus, it had enough complex flavor to serve to guests. It was exceptional."
-LordNeuf
"This is a great and decadent scalloped potatoes recipe! My mother and I decided to make this recipe one night, and we doubled it to make a larger batch. It came out so rich that it tasted like it was made with cream, not low-fat milk."
-DanielleLyn
"Excellent! One trick: Try melting the butter in olive oil when painting the filo sheets. It gives the dish a much better taste and texture."
-ironchefmarcya
"It was my first time trying this technique to cook ham and it was fantastic! It was super moist from the first slice until the last one."
-cmj07cook
"Asparagus takes on a whole new significance when you roast it like this. I put the asparagus in a zip bag with the oil and salt and shake, shake, shake, then turn it out onto the baking sheet. This helps it get covered with the oil and not my fingers!"
-Geema
"I have been desperately looking for a bread recipe that would produce results similar to the recipe that my grandmother brought over from Greece. This was the first time that I had attempted to make bread in years and it came out perfectly on the first try."
-Mary C.
"These potatoes were absolutely delicious, and the leftovers make the best home fries I've ever had for breakfast."
-Marie729
"Delicious! Used baby carrots right out of the bag and added a sprinkle of red and black pepper. Not a carrot left on anyone's plate."
-Candy C
"Excellent recipe, I didn't change a thing. I have made these a couple of times now and they are wonderful. Just the right amount of spices and fruit. After trying a few different recipes for Hot Cross Buns, this is now my go-to recipe."
-cbvsad
"This was really good and very simple. I won't bother to buy a glaze at the store ever again."
-omadarlin
"Such a fun and easy recipe to make for Easter. It's a great way to get involved!"
-Jonathan Melendez
"This dish was rich and creamy. I felt as though I was whisked back into my mother's kitchen again. She made this exact recipe as a child which I had long forgotten. It is the best side dish that we've had in a long time."
-Suzy9725
"Bye-bye bakery carrot cake, hello homemade! This recipe is amazing as written and we are so happy to have found it!"
-gardeningRI
"The cherry merlot sauce is fantastic, and the glaze provides a nice dark crust to the meat. It was unbelievable!"
-sillyjodes
"Absolutely marvelous. The best recipe yet I've found for roasted asparagus. I prepared this exactly as stated, and can't wait to get more asparagus and enjoy this again!"
-Gagoo
"This is a simple recipe if you're short on time and ingredients. One tip: If you plan on adding wine or vinegar, it's better to pour that on the fish first, then add the garlic mixture or you'll end up washing the mixture off."
-gonzonyc
"The breading came out crunchy, and the chicken was moist. I used basil-and-tomato-flavored feta, which worked perfectly. I baked it on parchment paper, which saved me the cleanup."
-manrat
"This is great tilapia. Per another reviewer, I added olive oil to the crumbs to moisten them and they stuck well. The seasonings were just right, and the Parmesan cheese added delicious flavor."
-jean
"I took some advice from other reviews and added mushrooms and chicken to make it a meal. I loved this because it was like having Alfredo sauce, but better for you."
-ACBL17
"The flavors burst in your mouth. Loved the sauce, loved the patties — I wouldn't change a thing."
-The_Swedish_Chef
"This was so delicious; I had a hard time keeping the spoon out of the raw dough—the citrus and cardamon work beautifully together."
-duonyte
"This was a change from the usual way I make chicken. I really was hoping for a very light lemon flavor, and that is what I got. We all loved it."
-Nikki Kate
"Fabulous! Didn't change anything except to use a pre-made pie crust. I will definitely be making this again."
-2hot2handle
"I've made this using both bone-in and boneless leg of lamb, and it's fabulous. It made the perfect Easter dinner."
-Marion in Savannah
"We adored this recipe! I made sure to keep glazing the ham to ensure the flavors were well in there and it turned out beautifully."
-anniesnomsblog
"Perfect Easter ham! The glaze made a delicious coating for the meat, and we loved the flavors from the spices."
-Maine E Ack!
"This is the ham salad of my childhood. I pulsed the celery, onion and ham in my food processor. I substituted cornichons for the hot pickles, which added a nice spice element."
-Artetc
"This is an excellent pasta dinner. Sauteing the mushrooms really brought out their flavor."
-MizzNezz
"This was delicious! It was very juicy, and I loved the mixture of the red pepper and lemon."
-Sal from Maine
"Let me tell you, these are the best carrots you will ever eat. Simplicity at its best. The result was carmelized goodness, tender outside, with a slight bite on the inside."
-shimmerchk
"I love this salad because you can put in whatever kind of veggies you have on hand. Adding the tomatoes as you eat each batch helps the salad keep longer."
-KatMcC
"I've never been able to cook a pork tenderloin that was moist, but this was juicy and delicious. Plus, once you make it, the recipe sticks in your head because it's so easy."
-melis1377
"This recipe was easy to make and had a fantastic taste. It was a huge hit at our Easter dinner."
-alma.sove
"This is the best copycat of HoneyBaked ham I have ever tried. It was so moist! The key for me was placing the cut end down and basting often."
-Shabby Sign Shoppe
"This risotto was so delicious. The asparagus was perfectly cooked — nice and crisp. This would be great to serve to guests."
-Derf
"There wasn't a flake of salmon left on any of my family members' plates. The marinade was not overpowering, and the lemon gives it a little extra tang that is just right."
-OzzieKath
"These were delicious. The chops were so tender and the sauce was great over rice. It made for an excellent meal."
-Donna
"This was my first experience with ratatouille and it was amazing. The prep is a bit of work, but it's worth all the dicing and mincing."
-riah1984@yahoo.com
"I am completely suprised! I would never have thought about roasting green beans, but they turned out great! Crispy and kind of sweet when they were done. Even the dog ate the one that fell on the floor."
-Bippie
"This absolutely rocks. I am making it for the second time today and adding anchovy fillets into the incisions with the garlic. Should be a winner."
