Sam 3 Reviews Links recent activity Sam reviewed SHEVAUN1’s Japanese Okonomiyaki. 01/14/2009 Tasty, but came out really heavy. Maybe I should have used Miso base instead of water...? Helpful (0) Sam reviewed Allrecipes Member’s Fudgy Chocolate Cookie Bars. 11/12/2008 Soft brownie like texture on the bottom and mushy chocolate covering made for a very tasty chocolate recipe Used low-fat vegetable oil as a butter substitute, but it didn't change how it came out. Other than that, might use a 9x9 or 8x11 next time instead of the 9x13 recipe suggests, because they didn't end up as thick as I'd expected them to be. A little thicker, whipped cream and chocolate sauce over the top and a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side, and could easily pass off as a classy dessert. Helpful (0) Sam reviewed SARAHMURRAY’s Green Tea Cheesecake. 10/20/2008 Oh man, absolutely delicious. One of the best uses for Matcha (powdered green tea) that I've ever seen. I did everything the recipe called for, mixed everything by hand, and added raspberry filling on top after it cooled. Notes: - Probably needed more than an hour to cool. I was in no hurry so I let it cool for about 4 hours after making it, so I don't know for sure. But it didn't look firm enough after just an hour. - Raspberry and Green Tea combination is delicious! Also prevents any naysayers from turning it down on the green color alone. - Would probably use a different crust next time. Graham cracker texture was wrong and was generally too sweet for the filling. Maybe shortbread like the other reviewer, but will have to experiment. In general, HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Wonderfully delectable! Helpful (0) Ratings & Reviews 3 Japanese Okonomiyaki 01/14/2009 Tasty, but came out really heavy. Maybe I should have used Miso base instead of water...?
