  1. Did not go over with us at all. The combination of the lemon juice and white wine was way to much. Such a disappointment ??, such a waste of crabmeat. I don't know if the recipe is wrong ... But anyone making this does not need that much lemon juice. So much acid. I got sick to my stomach within moments after dinner. ?? Please revise the lemon juice, white wine combination.
     
  2. Quick, economical, low fat and calorie~~over all, pretty good. I really liked the lemon and unfortunately only had 1/3 cup and no zest. Added a squirt of bottled lime and some lemon pepper to compensate. Used sliced small sweet peppers, yummy! Served over quinoa. Will make again for sure.
     
  3. This is one of my favorite recipes I've gotten off this site. I usually serve it over cous cous and love it every time. I respect the others opinions, but want the chef to know that this is a unique dish that might not be for everyone, but I sure appreciate it!
     
  4. 12/4/08 This was ok. Only one 1 out of 4 in this family REALLY liked it. I am not a big fan of crab real or imitation, but was hoping to find a recipe that would change my mind. I found it rather bland and I was not that keen on the texture. It was really fast to make, but I doubt I will make it again.
     
  5. So sorry but this did not go over well with us. We found it to be overly acid, if I make it again I will either cut way back on the lemon juice or leave it out entirely. I'm not sure weather it was the combination of the wine and lemon juice or 1/2 cup of lemon juice was just too much. It did look pretty!

I am a teacher who is near the end of my career. I have many craft interests and have just added cooking to my list. Since I like to keep a check on what DH eats I usually try to follow the WW diet and just love their cookbooks. Recipezaar has become the answer to my many cookbooks and recipes I gather and just can't seem to get organized. MMMMM maybe in retirement. <img src="http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e347/Saturn6666/KiwiDutch/3chefstag1.jpg">
