"Delicious, the sauce is exceptional! Portions are very filling--lots of servings for your effort. Perfect for a potluck, party, or as a balanced casserole to give to a friend in need. ""

"Great consistency and flavor, a nice brown gumbo. When it comes to the chicken step, MAKE SURE you only add ONE TEASPOON of the seasoning... let's just say that we got over excited and forgot to reference the recipe and dumped a half cup of that seasoning in with the chicken :( "

"Lovely, but next time I would follow the other reviewers and cut the sugar, I feared that it would throw off the balance of things. I am a person who LOVES sweet things, things most people find too sweet to enjoy. I found the bread pudding to be too sugary, and the syrup on top of it made it teeth-coating sugary sweet. I would add some raisins too, during the step where you pour the bread pudding into the baking dish.

"This was perfect for a fancier dinner party of food-loving friends I wanted to impress. I made it with Lucinda Scala Quinn's Caramelized roasted Cauliflower. A very easy dinner party for 5, plates were cleaned.

WARNING: before you commit to it, this is an EXPENSIVE recipe, beef tenderloin I bought at my store was $17.99 per pound, $14.99 on sale. This recipe requires 3.5 pounds, so you are spending close to $70 just on the meat.

Also, I had to call in advance for my butcher to cut this size tenderloin, call your supermarket meat section to verify they have the cut of meat in stock.
