Did you ever get a recipe review like this?
" Hi I tried your recipe and it was OK. I didn't have any 'whatever' so I
used 'theirs' I used less water because I like it a little thicker and I left out the wine. Nobody here likes hot peppers so I substituted green bells. I cooked it for 30 minutes instead of an hour because I was in a hurry. All in all, not a bad recipe." |

The few people who have ever asked me for a recipe have got detailed description of any unusual ingredients and instructions -- sometimes a demo -- for any essential techniques. And a discussion of possible variations. After all that, no one has reported back the way you describe for fear of getting all the verbiage again, in spades. - aem |

People post recipes and members can review them. It amazed me how many times they alter it and then give it poor review. My ex sister-in-law was chastised for volunteering to bring the family traditional thanksgiving salad, and making it with yogurt instead of mayo. It was not good, and it was thanksgiving! Who counts calories that day?? I always follow the recipe exactly the first run, and then make any changes on later attempts. Oh well, people are people! DP |

One of my pet peeves is when someone totally changes a recipe then complains about it. I mean, do it right. Then if it STILL doesn't suit you, you can just chalk it up to differing tastes. Kris |

AFAICS, the Food Network and Epicurious reviewers do the same thing. Usually it's slight - an ingredient added or subtracted that doesn't amount to much, but occasionally it's convoluted the recipe clear out of recognition. I had a friend do something similar when she begged me for my strawberry souffle recipe. By the time she finished adding this, changing that and replacing something else, she had something that more closely resembled raspberry cake.

There are just some family traditions that are a must for the day, even if we just eat a few bites of it. > >> I always follow the recipe exactly the first run, and then make any >> changes >> on later attempts. > > I seldom follow the recipe, even the first time. Then again, I don't > criticize a recipe that I didn't follow. I do end up making a lot of changes to a recipe if I see potential for it. On of the ones I love now is a balsamic chicken that stresses serving promptly. I found it is much better when held for an hour or two. I did that out of convenience for serving a dinner party. The taste was much better and the chicken was melt in your mouth. DP > > -- > Dan Abel > Petaluma, California USA > |

I don't count calories ever, but the traditional Thanksgiving dinner just isn't my cup of tea, either. I dislike turkey and turkey gravy, tolerate mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce, and am not a huge dessert person. Still, it's my favorite holiday, because it's about gratitude and food, my two favorite things. Serene -- 42 Magazine, celebrating life with meaning.

A good dill dip for vegies consists mostly of mayo and sour cream. It's very good. Leaving those out, and using yogurt instead is still good. -- Dan Abel Petaluma, California USA |

My grandmother "improved" nearly every recipe by adding one of these: miniature marshmallows, pineapple, or crushed corn flakes or Wheaties. Surprisingly, most of them were quite tasty.
