  1. Nice and different. I could think of few things to add, maybe some cardamom, currants, etc???
     
  2. Delicious rice. Went well with a roast pork loin. None of the spices or citrus are overpowering, but blend well. The pistachios are a nice touch and add some texture. Will be making this one again!
     
  3. This is a real 5 star winner. I didn't have fresh oranges for the zest so I gave it an added dose of oj. I could have doubled the cinnamon but I'm a "bark-head" and DH enjoyed it made as ask. The spicing is quite mild and should be loved by the kids as well as the adults in the family. It's so easy to get it started and then you can just forget it while to tend to the rest of the meal. I can't believe that I'm the first to review this one. I shouldn't be the last because this recipe deserves a following.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I love cooking for family and friends. I especially enjoy baking...it is like combining art and science to create something extraordinary. I am most known for making desserts like Recipe #336060. My pet peeve: when people sign-up to bring dessert to a pot-luck or dinner party and they bring something pre-made from the store. My friends and family now know to always let me bring the dessert. :) I enjoy traveling and believe that one of the best ways to experience a culture is through food. I have lived in Germany, Spain and Switzerland, and currently live in the US. My rating system: 5 stars - Excellent! Delicious! Could not be better...will make often. 4 stars - Very good! May tweak slightly. 3 stars - Good base recipe. Will need to tweak. 2 stars - Ok. Will keep looking.
