Disappointing Results,

This review is from: Girls Who Dish! Inspirations (Paperback)
As I initially flipped through "Inspirations: the girls who dish", I remember thinking that it was going to be difficult to choose just three recipes to test. Everything sounded delicious! Yet when it came down to testing the actual recipes, there was disappointment looming behind each one. The flavours just weren't there for me. I found each of the three recipes turned out bland and (dare I say it?) boring. And in the end I am left wondering if the authors had any of the dishes tested prior to publication.
