Puzzled by food network...
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I am puzzled that the food network keeps airing certain recipes that the majority of the reviewers says is not "fair" but... "awful"! Some of these reviews go back to 2006. This means they have aired it over and over , yet the consensus is the same. If you read carefully the "excellent" reviews, most changed the recipe! I agree with many other reviewers who have said time and again that if you change the recipe, and then give it 5 stars, you are only rating your recipe, not the one on the show! Does food Network not value the viewers who really try their recipes if they do not like them? Or do they think their "gourmets" are flawless? And the low reviews for the salmon quesadillas and the prosciutto biscuits in this episode are not mean, just truthful. Personally, I have questioned many of Ms Lee's recipes and often there are reviewers that feel the same way. so I don't write another bad review just to be spiteful. But I have never seen as many negative reviews of a recipe seemingly be ignored by FN..Read more

DELICIOUS!!!!!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My husband and I loved this recipe. I made my own Boursin--too expensive!--with cream cheese, heavy cream, dried parsley and... garlic and it was wonderful. Read more

Use canned salmon instead of smoked
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made these for an impromptu girls' lunch but didn't have smoked salmon on hand so substituted a can of canned salmon packed... in water. Used less Jack b/c I didn't have much. They were really tasty and I still get comments about them a year later.Read more

smoked salmon and cheese?
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

smoked salmon and monterrey jack absolutely do not go together. cream cheese, yes. boursin, maybe. anything stronger than... that, it fights the flavor of the salmon.Read more
