    Great collection of recipes, Rachel! A few are already in my bookmarks, and now I'm adding a few more. Happy new year and best wishes for a delicious 2010.

  2. I am bookmarking this post, every single recipe seems like a winner to me… in fact, I had some of them already saved from the time you posted them – like the pulled chicken and the eggplant pasta.

    Happy New Year!

  3. Your recipes all sound amazing AND look amazing! Beautiful photography!

  4. Ok…. so so delicious for the eyes!

  5. Hi Rachel,
    I baked your Cranberry Ribbon cake the other day. What a great idea. It was delicious. I've linked it on my blog. bilbified.blogspot.com/2010/01/3-words.html
    I must say your enthusiastic reflection was my motivation for baking it. Enthusiasm is infectious!

    I'm looking forward to trying out some more of your recipes. I think the lemon slice might be next.

  10. The nutella cheesecake is speaking to me! (Actually it's more of a shout – eat me now).

    And the pomegranate wild rice salad looks beautiful.
