"I've never had a clunker whenever I made a recipe by Susan Feniger and Sue Millikin. With this one, the amount of cilantro not only made the meatballs inedible, the meatballs broke up in the soup, the cilantro spoiling everything. AND I LOVE CILANTRO!!! Sorry. This one's pretty gruesome.

"Not so good. Use U-Bet Chocolate Syrup for the best egg cream. "

"AB, I love you to pieces but weighing each meatball? Still, derned good recipe, pretty close to my Grandmother's."

"This is a great recipe for corning beef, so unlike the mass produced corned beef you find in supermarkets. It had an excellent flavor and texture. But Alton, darling, where in the world did you get the idea that a 5-pound brisket could feed 7 hungry men? I made two and there were no leftovers.
"

"OMG! OMG! This was utterly scrumpshus even without the goulash. I added a smidge more grated onion and served it with homemade applesauce. IT was roll your eyes back into your head absolutely delicious."

"The broth and dumplings had very little flavor. Simmering a smallish chicken for so long made the flesh dry and inedible and turned the veggies into mush. Sorry, Michael. This is not up to your usual standard of excellence.
"

"Oh, my gosh! I died and went to heaven. Use lasagna pans instead of baking dishes.
"

"OH YUM!!! We call this Simon and Garfunkel chicken. I added a few sage leaves to the herbs. "
