Page 122-Caprese Salsa Zucchini with Sea Salt

Easy to follow recipe, not expensive and taste was GOOD.  I would recommend letting the tomatoes drain a while before putting in with the rest of the ingredients.  

Page 229- Traditional Hummus

Easy to follow, not expensive and taste was GOOD.  It needed more spice to me but everyone else loved it.

Page 57- Sunflower Granola Breakfast Parfaits

Easy to follow, not expensive and taste was GOOD.  I myself did not like the flax meal in the granola and I would put a little sweetener in the yogurt.

Page 191-Crispy Potato Chips

Easy to follow, not expensive and taste was WOW.  These were delicious.  However the next day they needed crisping in the microwave or oven.


Page 147- Strawberry Jam

Easy to follow, not expensive and taste was VERY GOOD.  This just needs more cooking time than recipe says.


Page 37-Buttermilk Biscuits

Easy to follow, not expensive and taste was VERY GOOD.  This recipe is very adaptable,you can add all kinds of spices.

No pictures at this session of Cookbook Recipe Critiquers 

I used Cooking Light Big Book of Salads

On page 47, Candied Walnut, Pear and Leafy Green Salad
Easy to follow, not expensive and taste was GOOD.   Everyone in our test group loved it.  I felt it needed more zing to the taste.  The candied walnuts were VERY GOOD though.

On page 51, Creamy Buttermilk-Herb Potato Salad
Easy to follow, not expensive and taste was VERY GOOD.  Again everyone in the test group loved it, even me.  It was not that good the next day though.

On page 106, Orzo Salad with Radish and Fennel

Easy to follow, not expensive and taste was GOOD.  Again a hit with the group, not so much with me.  I wanted more zing again. 

Ruby used Dutch Feast

On page 146, Yellow Rice
Easy to follow, not expensive and taste was VERY GOOD.  Every one loved the rice.

On page 159, Fried Plantains
Easy to follow, not expensive and taste was VERY GOOD.  Again everyone loved it.

We recommend both cookbooks.
