    Amazing! I thought this puree was simply mouth-watering! We served it alongside an herbed pork tenderloin and it was perfect. I just peppered it to taste, but the lemon was fine. Many people have commented that it was too lemony, but I just tasted as we went and I thought it was great.

    This recipe was amazing and I will for sure make it again. Instead of chicken stock I used vegetable stock. I also added butter. I left out the lemon juice and didnt use as much pepper. Amazing recipe!

    felt that a tablespoon of pepper just overwhelmed the puree and made it inedible, perhaps it should have been a teaspoon???

    This is my one of my most favorite recipes of all time. I love sweet potato, but this has a savory spin on it with the lemon juice and chicken broth that gives it such a great flavor. I can eat this by itself or with the cod and brussel sprouts it is intended to go with.

    I made this for Thanksgiving dinner with my husband, 3 kids and inlaws. Nobody really liked it very much. It is very lemony and peppery, and the almond extract just gives it a weird taste. I liked it more than anyone, but I will definitely go back to my old recipe next Thanksgiving. I had to add a lot more cream and butter than the recipe called for to get the consistency just right. Otherwise, it would have been too lumpy. Sorry, Aaron, but this one isn't a winner. I love your show and your recipes normally, and I will continue to try more.

    I find that a whole tablespoon of pepper was just a bit much for my family all in all it was good but the pepper was just a bit too much

    I just threw out the entire puree. Too salty. Too much lemon juice. This was absolutely terrible.

    After reading some of the reviews on this recipe I was a bit concerned about the ingredient list but decided that he is the TV cook and not me and so I should trust him. I made this dish as he designed it and I loved as did my guests! I served it with Robert Irvine's roasted pork loin and some garlic french beans. I enjoyed the flavor and creaminess of the puree.

    As a southerner, I have been eating sweet potatoes all my life, but have never had them flavored this way. This recipe was good, but I would be careful of the salt. The recipe calls for two tablespoons of sea salt. I found that to be too much, especially since my chicken broth also contained salt. If I make again, I'll cut back to one tablespoon of salt and if I need more, add just before I puree the potatoes.

    I liked the lemon added to the potatoes, but you can adjust that flavor up or down too, I suppose. Give this recipe a try!
