Overall, I thought this recipe was pretty good. The crab thermidor was tasty, but it was a bit too rich for my taste. I would probably make it again, but I would use less butter and cream next time.

This recipe was a disaster! The crab thermidor curdled and the crab was overcooked. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I will definitely not be making this dish again.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The crab thermidor was too rich and heavy for my taste. I also found the sauce to be a bit too thick.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my crab thermidor turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't have much flavor.
