Amazing, delicious dip! I made this for a party and it disappeared so fast that I’m going to make some just for the family at home. Rachael Ray is so talented!
This was horrible. Terrible color & very unappealing. Went straight down the garbage disposal. Photo shows onions on top of cheese; recipe says to food process it together (which I did as I didn’t see it made on TV). Maybe instructions are wrong.
This dip was very unappealing in appearance and taste. It was not worth the effort or cost.
I don’t know where she gets these crazy ideas to combine strange things together like this. Once again, the only way to save this recipe is to make your own modifications to it.
This was an unusual mix of ingredients, and perhaps as a pizza or tart it would be good, but all ground up it was a strange tasting and looking mess. I made this the first time I saw this program, and my guests were polite, but most of it was thrown away.
This dip is very easy and has a very sophisticated flavor. It’s the kind of thing you love or hate.
The dip was an expensive french onion dip. It wasn’t as appealing as I hoped. I made it for a party and the guests avoided it. I thought it was tasty, but I have better recipes that I would use instead.
This recipe is very easy and it’s very good. The roasting of the onions and anchovies made my house smell good. I’m always looking for different appetizers and this one will be one of my favorites. I couldn’t find pita chips in my supermarket so I used small toasts.
It was much richer than i expected, but it was very very good!!!!
It tasted okay, but not as strongly flavored as the veggie dip that was sitting next to it (that was made directly from the powder packet).
