"Maybe I just don't have the knack for cooking w/ fresh artichokes, but the effort to taste ratio just wasn't there for me. "

"It was ok, but nothing particularly special about this veggie soup."

"Not very flavorful, especially the inside of the chicken"

"One of my favs, w/ a few modifications:
1) Eliminated pancetta (it's already a heavy dish b/c of the beefiness of the short rib) and chocolate (more due to personal preference)
2) Used 4x as many carrots (makes the sauce a little thicker)
3) Increased garlic and red wine (~1 cup instead of 3/4 cup)"

"Followed recipe pretty closely, except using dried herbs instead of fresh, increasing carrots (1 lb for 4 lb chicken), and substituting green bell peppers instead of celery. Also added a few squeezes of lemon at the end. Very tasty, but next time I will make half portion extra of the herb paste."

"time-consuming, but so yummy. very flavorful. note: i made the following modifications:
- replaced brandy w/ marsala wine (per recommendation of others)
- added carrots (1 lb for 2 lbs of chicken, and increased mushrooms (1 lb for 2 lb chicken)
- omitted celery
- served w/ egg noodles instead of potatos
- used bone-in chicken thigh instead of c"

"tasty, easy, and super quick to prepare. note: I reduced lemon by half, and added a bit more white wine to give me extra sauce to serve over pasta. also reduced butter by half"

"tasty sauce, easy to make"
