I love these crabcakes they are awesome. I whipped them up during the show. We could not get enough of them and the ingredients are things we keep in our house or are easily available at the corner store. The recipe goes a long way and make for a great meal for company.

These crab cakes are truly delicious. There are a lot of ingredients, but this is worth every minute of prep. I've made these several times for dinner parties - always to rave reviews. I have found that a tablespoon of butter for flavor is all I need to saute the raw vegetables in a non-stick pan. The mix is drier then - a good thing. And I don't saute the crab cakes themselves in a lot of oil. I use a non-stick griddle and spray it with vegetable or olive oil. I cook full-sized crab cakes all at once - about 4-5 minutes per side. The recipe yeilds eight, full-size cakes and they make a fabulous dinner, especially with Ina's curried coucous. I adore Ina - she does have the best recipes!

This was my 1st attempt at crab cakes, and I think they came out very well. I used a few extra salted seasonings ( i think I added a little bit of Lawry's or garlic salt to the recipe, and it came out over salty, I think, so even if you like things really salty, I would suggest keeping the recipe as is. It definitely does stretch out a little bit of crab a long way...without LOOKING like its filled with a whole bunch of bread or other junk that you really dont want a crab cake to taste like. My first recipe from Paula, and it just might not be my last ;-.

We loved them.
Drain the veggies VERY WELL BEFORE you add them to the crab mixture.

I followed the recipe to the letter and all I got was a gloppy mess...way too mushy, and they wouldn't set in the pan. Good flavors, though. All of the other reviews had 5 stars so I guess I'll try again. Usually never have a problem with any of Ina's excellent recipes.

When Ina Garten decided to copy right this recipe, she did the right thing, because this is a recipe that you'll what to steal! These cakes are amazing.

Excellent!! A few things I did to make them even better...doubled the amount of crab meat and coated them in bread crumbs before frying. Everyone always wants me to make them for a party. A good short cut is to use a food processer to cut all the vegetables (on pulse.

This recipe is the best recipe for Crab Cakes ever! I think sauteeing the vegetables is the key to the wonderful flavor. You can easily modify if you dont like them too spicy (i.e. leave out the Tobasco. Great recipe, Ina. You have inspired me to try more seafood recipes!
