  1. This dish was comforting and tasty. It was definitely subtle, but the apples gave it a nice flavor, and the curry and cumin were a nice change from the types of spices my family and I usually use. I did reduce the curry to 1 tsp because my father doesn't like curry very much, but after eating it I think I might try to sneak in another tsp next time!
     
  2. I used all chicken breasts and thought the apples gave the chicken a wonderful flavour. We enjoyed this tremendously and will definitely be making again. Made for ZWT4.
     
  3. My husband said this is "awesome!" I used cut-up chicken thighs and only butter because all this ZWT4 cooking has run me out of olive oil! I didn't drain the pan after browning the chicken (or add more butter) and just cooked the veggies in the fat remaining. Thanks!
     
  4. I prefer my curries to have a bit more kick but I'm adding an extra star because even my kids loved this one! My family doesn't like bell peppers so I cooked it with big chunks and removed them before serving it. This was easy and smelled awesome as it cooked! Will definitely use this again.

  5. I made this for dinner tonight, DH, children and I enjoyed it. Served it over rice, also forgot to add the celery, but the flavor of the sauce was great. Next time will add more curry. Thank you. Made for ZWT4 The Mamma Mias!

I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages! I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure. So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call. What did I do wrong? Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths. I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time. That's all for now.
