Reviewed Pumpkin Bars
"These bars were just "good" the first time I made them. Very moist and not overly frosted. However, I felt as if they needed stronger pumpkin and cinnamon flavors. The 2nd time I made them, I used a larger can of pumpkin and added 1/2 a cup more pumpkin puree. I also increased the cinnamon by a 1/2 tsp. My family and I felt this elevated the ""
Reviewed Porchetta with Roasted Fingerlings
"I made this dish for my family and guests who are VERY picky eaters. This dish was AMAZING! Even the people who didn't like brussels sprouts were fighting over them. The only thing each guest pointed out was the lack of distinct pepper flake flavor. They would have preferred I either add more or leave it out all together. Also, I added more car""

Reviewed Goat Cheese with Fresh Dill
"You MUST be joking! This was an actual recipe? Please! I really don't want to sound snobby, but out where I live in California, goat cheese with dill would be considered appetizer 101! It's an okay spread, but my family prefers goat cheese mixed with freshly chopped sage or sun dried tomatoes.""
Reviewed Pan-fried Asparagus with Shallots
"This recipe is not only AMAZING, but so simple to make. I've been cooking for 30 years and am embarrassed to admit that I NEVER thought to cut up asparagas the way this recipe calls for. The weirdest thing...guests and family members eat more asparagas now that I'm cutting up the pieces rather than serving them long. To change this recipe up, I usually give a few squeezes of lemon right before I finish cooking the asparagas. It helps brighten up the flavor of the vegetable. But, if I don't have lemon on hand, this recipe stands on its own.
Reviewed Potato Gratin "Boome-style"
"There are very few recipes that I change after I've made them the first time. However, THIS recipe is one that my family loved exactly as Danny made it. VERY, VERY yummy. I read some of the review stating there was too much cream, but I don't find that to be a problem at all. Great cheese-to-potato ratio. So easy to make. Very company worthy and I've served them several times to the rave reviews of our friends and family. Since I don't want to take the time to make tin rings, I just use my cupcake pans. Also...is it just me or does it feel like Danny doesn't get recognized as much as some of the other FN chef's? I really do like this guy's recipes.
Reviewed Orange and Chocolate Zeppole
"I've made these zeppole's countless times, but am giving the recipe 3 stars because on its own, its only "fair." I knew this recipe had potential, so I tweaked it a bit until I came up with something my family raved over. I double the orange zest in both the batter and sugar. To help the sugar "stick," I put the sugar and orange zest in my mini-chopper and pulse it a few times. That helps break down the sugar and infuse it with the oils from the orange. I put the sugar mixture in a brown paper bag and as soon as I remove the zeppole's from the oil, I dump them in the bag and shake them. Lastly omit the cream in the chocolate. Instead, I melt semi-sweet chocolate with enough unsalted butter to make the chocolate "dippable." I also add a 1/4 teaspoon of instant coffee. The coffee brings out the flavor of the chocolate. I know this all sounds labor intensive, but I really think it's worth it for these yummy little desserts.
Reviewed Herb Roasted Chicken
"Like all of Anne's recipes...this one was another winner! Followed the instructions exactly the first time and my family went nuts over this dish. My dad, who is a traditional gravy man, thought he would hate the "au jus" gravy, but confessed he never needs traditional gravy again. Made it a 2nd time, but doubled the herb rub per chicken, tripled the carrots and doubled the celery. Also cooked it at the 450 degrees 20 minutes longer than called for. The chicken had even more flavor and was even more moist than before. My hubby said he didn't believe this dish could have been improved, but he and my entire family agreed it was even BETTER with the added changes.
