-Catfuzz
April 3: Mousse au Chocolat
"I had never had chocolate mousse before, probably because I thought it would taste like pudding. Well, I was incredibly wrong. This is a light, airy cream with a deep, rich dark chocolate flavor. I love, love, love this!"

-Muffin Goddess
April 18: Chicken & Mushroom Risotto

-michelleengemann
April 24: Beer-Battered Fish and Chips
"Great batter but don't forget the mushy peas and a large pickled onion on the side. That's what makes it real English fish and chips."
-deejohnson131
April 25: Biryani

-Jonathan Melendez
