Three stars. I have made Cranberry Apple Red Cabbage, it was a bit too acidy, too much Apple cider vinegar, although to be fair I did double the white wine by accident. Next I would like to try the Buffet Meatballs. Then possibly the Family - Pleasing Turkey Chili, definitely the Over the Rainbow Minestrone, Black Bean Soup, Cubed Beef & Barley Soup, North African Chicken & Rice. Maybe also the Pork chops with Sauerkraut, Apple Pudding Cake, & Slow Cooker Bananas Foster. I get all my cookbooks from the library at first and if I decide to go ahead, then purchase. If a few more recipes really end up turning out, I may raise my rating to 4, but although I will record the good ones, I will not be purchasing, since there are too few doable good ones for that.
