"The flavor of this stew was terrific and completely different than a beef burgundy. While I adore that winey flavored gravy, the cocoa lent this one a real earthy, deep flavor. Completely different, but just as wonderful. Will definitely make this one again.""

"Excellent salad for summer veggies! And the dressing is now my go-to dressing. No more bottled supermarket dressings for me. A good balsamic and fresh lemon juice are the key to really make this dressing sing."

"Well, it was quick and chocolaty. I might try this again with a couple changes. Like subbing some of the milk with coffee to bring out more of the chocolate flavor and maybe use natural cocoa instead of dutch process and butter instead of oil. Worth fussing with the ingredients for a weeknight, but not special enough for company."

"Quite good for quick week-night one dish meal. Even though I tasted the Spinach Ricotta dip and it was tasty and the prosciutto and asparagus was tasty, when added to the pasta it was altogether a little bland. Added some Romano and a bit of black pepper to the final product and moved it up to tasty. Would make again and might even add some peas to the asparagus mixture. The crisy prosciutto was awesome."

"A delicious week night alternative to a long cooking risotto. This was sone while the pork chops finished in the oven. I agree with the comments regarding the use of one lemon's juice. Any more and it would have been too lemony. I also used half and half instead of cream. Definitely a keeper and will be a tasty addition to Easter dinner."

"I've been baking chocolate chip cookies of one kind or another for nearly 30 years. Combos of white sugar, brown sugar, shortning, butter, oil, and all different kinds of chocolate chips and chunks. I've been on a search for the perfect cookie for me - crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. This is it. Some recipes require chilling and waiting and don't yield a result equal to the effort expended. The taste of these is exceptional and the recipe is easy. I didn't see the throwdown episode that this came from, but it sure was worth Bobby's trouble if this is the result! Thanks, Bobby for sharing."

"This has all the flavor I remember from chicken divan 'back in the day'. Rachel sure has a knack for deconstructing a recipe and then reconstructing it for the better. That said, I made a LOT of pans dirty making this so beware, its not a 'one pot meal'. Hubby loves it, however, and it gets some veggies into him as well. I did add some of the cheese to the sauce and lessened up on the topping. A terrific casserole with great flavor."

"this lasagna is quite tasty. However the instructions are not quite right. If you put one third of the squash mixture on the first layer of noodles, you can't make THREE MORE exact layers as 12 noodles would indicate. If the last layer is just sauce and cheese - as it would be in most tradtional red sauce lasagnes - that's ok, but the instructions don't say that. And in the video, Giada only makes three layers total. That's nine noodles. That's the only reason for the 4 stars - the taste is terrific.
