"This was my first time attempting eclairs. I thought the pastry cream was very easy to make and tasted fabulous, not chalky as one poster stated. In fact, this may be my new go to recipe for pastry cream! Making the shell was easy as well. I did need that 4th egg. I ended up splitting the shells in half and sandwiching the cream in between.

"Made for our holiday party at work. Turned out fabulous. I used Lindt chocolate and Lindt Creamy White Chocolate bars. Turned out beautifully. Followed directions without deviations. No separation of the layers. Just made again for my husbands birthday. This time I couldn't find the creamy white bars so just used classic white instead. I a"

"So easy and so good! Only took a few minutes of prep work. I did roast my own peppers since my father's garden was overflowing with them. I also used vegetable broth since my husband is a vegetarian. My father didn't think he would enjoy pepper soup. He took one taste and said he was bringing me more peppers to make another batch of soup just ""

"So easy and so delicious! I did substitute store bought seasoned croutons from the bakery dept. at the supermarket in place of the homemade. Other than that, I followed exactly. I was quite surprised by how tasty the reduced balsamic vinegar was. Loved it! I was never a huge fan of cucumbers, but mixed in with the baby heirlooms and the wonde""

"Very simple to make. A bit heavy with the salt measurements. Next time I'll cut back. Still worth 5 stars though. Ina never fails.""
