Nope

Well, just tried our first recipe tonight and it did not go very well. We tried the Chicken Casserole, which other reviewers had recommended. First of all, it’s better described as a soup or stew as it has a TON of liquid (maybe they have a different idea of casserole in the UK, which is where the author seems to hail from). Also, the cooking time on it is laughably too long. It recommends 30 minutes on the poultry setting (which has a default time of something like 15 minutes). This is with all the ingredients - including sweet potatoes and carrots - in the pot. Since I always try to follow a recipe precisely the first time, I went with it, despite my better judgement. Oh boy, I should have trusted my instincts. The vegetables were completely water logged and basically disintegrated when you stirred the contents of the pot. I mean, I made homemade baby food when my kids were little and I didn’t even cook the vegetables that soft. It was a shame, because it smelled so good. Maybe I’m being too harsh, and should wait to review after trying another recipe or too, but this was just too terrible. The fact that it was recommended in other reviews really makes me wonder how awful the rest of the recipes are, if this was their favorite. I would have given it one star, but it did taste all right.
