"Happened to watch this party episode at a time when I had a box of fresh mandarin oranges on the counter. Needed a great drink idea for Chinese New Year's today, and this was just the thing! So pretty and refreshing! This would probably be just as good with regular orange juice as a refreshing summer cocktail. ""

"This is one of only a few Ina Garten recipes that I won't make again. It was good, yes, but not worth the afternoon of preparation and $25-$30 for ingredients! Also, the flambe portion was a little unnerving. I'm not sure if the smoke alarms were set off, or if it was just the sound of my own screaming. Hint: don't stir the pot during the flaming! This only made things worse! For the wine, I used a Malbec instead of the recommended pinot noir, and this may not have been a good substitution, particularly when the whole bottle is poured in. Wine became a dominant flavor. I also thought perhaps there was a little too much salt, and too many little onions. Half the bag probably would be enough. The garlic rubbed toast at the bottom of the bowl was wonderful, and is an idea I will use again. "

"Tried this with our Thanksgiving turkey today, and while it was good, perhaps we've become accustomed to expect traditional flavors in a stuffing, rather than depending on simply italian sausage. I think it would be excellent served with a pork dish.

"A couple of years ago, I gave away my asparagus cooker when I realized how much better and easier it was to roast asparagus this way, as opposed to steaming it.

"Excellent! As Ina says, using a GOOD red wine vinegar is the secret to making this dressing outstanding. My personal preference is to have this salad served at room temperature.

"Hands down, the best popovers ever to come out of my oven! And so much easier than other recipes where the oven temps change. This is just simple and so good. The pans must be well buttered and very hot. If so, the popovers will just come out of the pan effortlessly! I tried using Pam, but they are just better with butter, in my opinion. I take out the eggs and milk a few hours ahead, as having these ingredients at room temperature seemed to make a noticable difference in the end result.
