"Oh my goodness - you continue to amaze me! Super duper! My husband made it for my bday last night and it is my new favorite dish - and I have many favorites. He made a few changes: cooked onions until transluscent, added peppers and cooked a little more than written, omitted chicken, and used vegetable stock! The dish was spicy but not overly spic"

"OMG! How fabulous! I followed the recipe exactly. Piping the mousse 1/2 way into a "regular sized" ramekin is way too much because it is so rich! It is also filling because of the fiber in avocado. I ended up piping it on the side with berries on the side with my extra for dipping them into the mouse. This is definitely a make again - even for com"

"Fabulous! I think the smoked almonds added a bit too much to the smoked paprika, but it was still fabulous! My husband doesn't like mint or feta so I made it more "italian" with fresh mozzarella and basil. Fabulous! The white balsamic is a must! The recipe makes alot so save some dressing to add later when you will LOVE IT AGAIN the next day! "

"This is the best homemade pesto recipe I have ever made! I made several batches, put into 1/2 pint containers with some EVOO on top and froze them so that I can always have pesto on-hand. It is the perfect way to use that extra basil in your garden at the end of the summer! Thanks, Giada! You have the freshest ideas!"

"Anne, you continue to allow me to cook like a rock star! Yes, the secret is a slow oven, roast a single layer with space between the leaves, DON'T oversalt (do a quick quality control with a small amount & add more if needed - really) and toss the kale around 1/2 way through cooking to allow the kale to crisp up evenly in the oven. This is SUCH a "

"Absolutely wonderful! I made & agree with the changes made by the 1.10 posting - thanks. I also made the following changes: used 1 1/2 cups of apricot preserves & no dried apricots, used 3/4 t. cinnamon, kosher salt & did not leave a border on the edge of the pan. The kids loved them for breakfast & after school snacks! Gotta love Giada!

"Definately worth all the calories! How does Giada stay so skinny? I made a few changes & it was super yummy! I used medium shrimp, the juice of 1 lemon, and just a couple of big shakes of tabasco sauce. I like spicy food but a couple shakes was plenty of heat. EVERYBODY raved about the dish! It is definately a keeper!

"My friend gave me this super duper recipe since she knows that I am a huge Giada fan! It is perfect for a "ladies luncheon" and while it is sooo easy to make it looks & tastes complex. I made a few changes based on my personal preferces & it tasted fantastic! I charred the vegetables, did not use parsley, used 1 c. minced red onion & used 1/8 c. capers. I didn't use all the vinaigrette. I would highly recommend making & refrigerating the vinaigrette ahead of time to marry the flavors. You HAVE to make this recipe!
