Persimmon Cookies II

Reviewed: Dec. 9, 2009

These reminded me of a pumpkin spice cookie. They were fluffy and chewy and spicy!

Reviewed: Dec. 2, 2009

This was very tasty! I refrigerated these after cooking and sliced the chicken to add to a cold salad.

I was really excited about these since I can no longer eat chocolate and also love walnuts, but these were too sweet for me. I might try them again with less sugar, I think carob is sweeter than cocoa so that might have been the issue. Also they were quite soft and sticky, the baking time could probably be increased.

White Bean Tabbouleh

Reviewed: Nov. 7, 2009

Used chick peas instead of white beans because that's all I had. Will make again, definitely with the chick peas!

Udon Peanut Butter Noodles

Reviewed: Nov. 7, 2009

Made a few changes: subbed fried tofu for chicken, fresh udon instead of dried, no peanuts or cilantro, and added a bit more peanut butter to the sauce. It was very tasty and rich.

Hiyashi Chuka Noodles

Reviewed: Nov. 7, 2009

This was really tasty and light. I subbed the dressing for this recipe: 1/3 cup water / 3 Tbsp rice vinegar / 2 Tbsp soy sauce / 3 Tbsp sugar / 1 tsp hot sesame chili oil. And used honey roasted turkey instead. No chinese mustard also, but I think that might be good.

Rice with Almonds and Raisins

Reviewed: Oct. 2, 2009

This was really delicious! I even left out the onion because I ran out, but it was still good. I will make it as directed next time. We ate with Egyptian Moussaka and it was perfect. Thanks for the recipe.

Minty Beet Carrot Salad

Reviewed: Sep. 29, 2009

Delicious! The only thing I changed was that I sauteed the carrots, I'm not a fan of steamed ones.

Ranch Crispy Chicken

Reviewed: Sep. 23, 2009

The flavor of this was just ok. I liked the way the breading stuck to the chicken but it really didn't flavor it very much, nor brown very well. I did get rid of the last little bits of breadcrumbs and it was tasty enough, but I probably won't make again.

Tomato-Mint Quinoa Salad

Reviewed: Sep. 22, 2009

I made this exactly according to recipe, and it's fantastic. I'm glad I didn't veto the raisins which sounded weird or sesame oil. Something about all these things together is magic. Thanks for this recipe.

Reviewed: Sep. 14, 2009

Tasty! I think I substituted some of the ham and chorizo with turkey bacon. Really yummy though.

Navratan Korma

Reviewed: Sep. 14, 2009

This was just ok, not sure why. I think maybe it's my fault and I should have cooked it for longer. It just didn't seem like all the flavors married and the vegetables weren't quite soft enough. I might give it another try:)

Cookson Stew

Reviewed: Sep. 14, 2009

I liked this though I did change it quite a bit, omitting the yellow wax bean and brown sugar, and using a veg. based chipotle sausage instead of pork, and vegetarian baked beans. Still very good I think. And tasty over basmati rice.

Really tasty recipe, thanks for sharing:) The only thing I added was some evaporated milk at the end because I wanted it to be a bit creamy.

Pakistani Style Vegetables

Reviewed: Sep. 14, 2009

This recipe had some really good flavors. I reduced the turmeric to only 1 tsp. because I find it to be a strong flavor which I don't usually like to predominant a dish. I added plain yogurt as some reviewers suggested and it was a really good taste. Thanks for sharing:)
