Very Good.

Rebecca Blood http://vvv The Best Recipe (1999 ed), page 286.]]> The flavor is very good, but in general this is not what I want in a chili. It is a Southwest-spiced beef stew featuring 4.5 pounds of meat for 6 portions. I added a cup of fried pinto beans (3 cups cooked) for a ludicrously meager addition of starch. Today I'm cooking 2 more cups of dried beans to add to the dish in hopes of making this chili more to my liking. I'll use the spicings for a base to make another chili, with much less beef and no bacon (since I can't taste it at all). Either ground chuck, or chuck cut to a small square - maybe 1/2 inch across), or even shredded chuck, with lots of beans. tag:www.rebeccablood.net,2011:/domestic/recipes/reviews//4.2082 2011-10-01T22:10:52Z 2011-11-08T23:17:25Z

Outstanding

Rebecca Blood http://vvv The Silver Palate Good Times Cookbook, page 67.]]> Perfect Macaroni and Cheese, which remains my go-to version of this dish. It should be noted that my husband and guests were unwilling to choose between the two versions, so it's worth your time to try both.]]> tag:www.rebeccablood.net,2011:/domestic/recipes/reviews//4.2074 2011-08-01T03:02:09Z 2011-08-01T03:05:58Z

Good.

Rebecca Blood http://vvv The Silver Palate Cookbook, page 96.]]> This is tasty, but needs work. It's too dry for starters (probably not a problem when cooked inside a bird) so I would recommend moistening it with stock before baking. Additionally, while the mix of breads (1/3 white, 1/3 whole wheat, 1/3 cornbread) is very nice, it's not really what is promised in the name of the dish. I may bring it up to 2/3 cornbread and 1/3 wheat the next time I make it. Very substantial, a nice dish. I served it as a main course. tag:www.rebeccablood.net,2011:/domestic/recipes/reviews//4.2073 2011-08-01T02:59:00Z 2011-08-01T03:00:58Z

Very Good.

Rebecca Blood http://vvv Passionate Vegetarian, page 689.]]> This really is quite good, and I think the cayenne, though not essential, really adds a nice note. tag:www.rebeccablood.net,2011:/domestic/recipes/reviews//4.2070 2011-06-07T19:40:27Z 2011-08-01T03:01:30Z

Very good.

Rebecca Blood http://vvv The French Chef Cookbook, page 15.]]> Another good solid vinaigrette dressing, this time using mustard powder instead of commercial mustard. tag:www.rebeccablood.net,2011:/domestic/recipes/reviews//4.2066 2011-05-31T19:47:13Z 2011-06-07T19:49:03Z

Outstanding.

Rebecca Blood http://vvv The Silver Palate Cookbook (1982 ed.), page 180.]]> Truly delicious, but egg-heavy for my taste. Next time round, I'll cut the egg in half and add half-again as many potatoes. Highly recommended as a go-to traditional American potato salad. tag:www.rebeccablood.net,2011:/domestic/recipes/reviews//4.2058 2011-05-03T03:01:30Z 2011-05-03T03:07:25Z

Very good.

Rebecca Blood http://vvv Whole Grain Baking, page 167.]]> I was afraid these would be too sweet and too clove-and-cinnamon-y (the raw dough was almost impossible to resist) but the baked cracker is not too sweet and the spices add just a note instead of dominating. Easy and delicious - I will make these again. tag:www.rebeccablood.net,2011:/domestic/recipes/reviews//4.2057 2011-05-03T02:57:08Z 2011-05-03T03:00:58Z

Good.

Rebecca Blood http://vvv World Vegetarian, page 18.]]> This dish benefits from a little more chile than I'm currently using, but either way, it's quite good - and relies on staples, so it's an easy fix when you haven't been able to get to the store. tag:www.rebeccablood.net,2011:/domestic/recipes/reviews//4.2047 2011-04-18T20:31:02Z 2011-04-20T20:36:21Z

Good.

Rebecca Blood http://vvv World Vegetarian, page 57.]]> This is tasty and simple, using only staples (if curry powder is a staple in your spice cupboard). I will make this again. tag:www.rebeccablood.net,2011:/domestic/recipes/reviews//4.2022 2011-02-23T03:34:27Z 2011-02-23T22:33:04Z

Good.

Rebecca Blood http://vvv World Vegetarian, page 151.]]> A very nice change from the standard sweet and sour profile of most red cabbage dishes. The predominant flavor in this dish served hot is curry - I couldn't taste the cranberry or ginger at all. tag:www.rebeccablood.net,2011:/domestic/recipes/reviews//4.2046 2011-02-19T21:22:59Z 2011-04-20T20:29:48Z

Good.

Rebecca Blood http://vvv The Joy of Cooking (1997 ed.), page 306.]]> The meatballs were problematic, but that may just be my inexperience in making them. Mixed in with the sauce, there was too much meat to liquid, so add another can of tomatoes if this happens to you. Nicely flavored, but nothing to write home about. tag:www.rebeccablood.net,2011:/domestic/recipes/reviews//4.2025 2011-02-16T22:45:21Z 2011-02-23T22:52:57Z

Outstanding.

Rebecca Blood http://vvv marthastewart.com, Perfect Macaroni and cheese.]]> Just as good as they say it is. Grownup mac and cheese that my baby loves. This will be my go-to recipe from now on. tag:www.rebeccablood.net,2011:/domestic/recipes/reviews//4.2023 2011-02-02T22:33:36Z 2011-02-23T22:40:14Z

Very Good.

Rebecca Blood http://vvv Local Flavors, page 105]]> You must like the flavor of cabbage to like this dish, but it really is very tasty. tag:www.rebeccablood.net,2010:/domestic/recipes/reviews//4.2001 2010-09-19T03:14:49Z 2010-09-19T03:19:54Z

V. good.

Rebecca Blood http://vvv The Joy of Cooking (1997 ed.), page 808.]]> Good! A rich version of an old favorite. tag:www.rebeccablood.net,2010:/domestic/recipes/reviews//4.2000 2010-09-17T22:12:03Z 2010-09-18T15:13:19Z

V. good

Rebecca Blood http://vvv The Joy of Cooking (1997 ed.), page 744.]]> A quick, crusty bread with good flavor. In my oven, a little overdone at the recommended time. I think I'll reduce the baking time in the future, in the hopes of creating a shatteringly crisp crust instead of a thick, crispy one.
