"Update.....I've started making this with no wine at all. I've got some friends who are recovering alcoholics, so I had to make the adjustment. The flavor obviously is a bit different, but it's still the best beef stew ever by far.

I made this recipe for the first time a couple of years ago. WOW! It was awesome! Normally, I don't like stew, but "

"I must say that, so far, this recipe is a bust. First of all, the recipe is different from the video and the show. For the batter, it calls for 1 cup of sugar in the show and 1 cup of brown sugar in the recipe. The cookie crumb crust is 2 cups in the show and 1 1/2 cup in the recipe. The show calls for 1 habanero, the recipe calls for 1/2.

"This was awesome! I made it twice this weekend for 2 different picnics and everyone loved it. I have often made the whipped cream with marscapone cheese instead of cream cheese, but I found that we all liked the cream cheese much better. This is such a wonderful, basic recipe that I can see changing it up a bit for what ever fruits are in season. "

"These tasted great! My only problem was keeping them together, but that was easily fixed with some toothpicks. I also left the cheese out so it would be nice and soft to work with. When they were finished I refridgerated them so they would set. I also had a hard time peeling the peppers, but that was my fault. I didn't blacken the peppers enough. "

"I made this last night for a dinner party. It was amazing. We had a large group, so I had to triple it. I was a bit concerned with some of the reviews stating that the honey overpowered it and not to make it if you don't love honey. That is completely wrong. You can't taste the honey at all. Just a lightly sweet creamy custard.

"Another wonderful recipe from Giada. I made 2 huge trays of this for the first time for a church function. I had to triple the recipe. It was a huge hit. Again I'm a rock star. Maybe one day I will tell my "secret" to the group.

I'm not sure what people are talking about when they say no flavor, too dry, or too hard/time consuming to make. Agai"

"I've been making this quiche recipe for several years now. I just use the basic recipe then change up the fillings as the mood strikes. It always turns out awesome. One word of warning though. I used super fresh (that morning fresh) farm eggs. The quiche rose so high that it blew off the outter crust. LOL Tasted awesome though."

"I made this recipe with the pork, but instead of wild rice I used couscous. I added the dried cherries to the stock and brought it to a boil. Then added in the couscous and removed from the heat. After about 5 minutes I tossed with the nuts and parsley. It was perfect and super fast.""
