Ricotta Spinach Dumplings from the October 2015 Cooking Light. This was the kids' recipe I this issue--the dumplings were harder to keep together than I expected. The flavors are nice--this gets a 3.

The new Thanksgiving recipe is Cracked Black Pepper Pull Apart Biscuits from Epicurious. At least in the mountains, these needed 10-15 minutes more cooking time than the recipe called for--overall they get a 3.

We did a reprise of the Spatchcocked Turkey with Anise and Orange the from November 2014 Bon Appetít--still wonderful, it still gets a 5.

Two from Ottolengi The Cookbook: Burnt Eggplant with Yellow Pepper and Red Onion (we used several colors of pepper), and Beef and Lamb Meatballs Baked in Tahini (all beef as we could not get ground lamb in Mexico). We loved the eggplant--it gets a 4. The meatballs were also nice, we give them a 3--if we'd had lamb, could easily have gotten a 4.

Pork and Shrimp Mince (Neua Tang), from Jennifer Brennan's The Original Thai Cookbook. We had trouble getting ground pork, so it is all shrimp. Very tasty, a bit salty as made--we'd cut back on the salt. We give this a 3

Thai Chicken Curry from the January 2013 Bon Appetít. This is very tasty, pretty spicy as made. If you are sensitive to heat, use a lot less curry paste! We loved it, it gets a 4.
