Chewy Caramel
absolutely perfect. i dipped caramel apples in it and sold them for 3 bucks a piece at my university... sold completely out and made 100 bucks... and i used all organic ingredients for the caramel.... it comes out totally delicious and perfect.

Dolmas (Stuffed Grape Leaves)
i thought this recipe was a solid one. i loved the fact that it was vegetarian and really helathy. i used brown rice with the recipe, didnt add any oil to the filling, used fresh currants instead of dried, and used walnuts instead of pinenuts. so i guess you could say in this sense i only loosely followed the recipe, but the mix of spices was really stellar. i appreciate any recipe that can be made in an ultra healthy way, especially if they still taste spectacular!!!

African Sweet Potato and Peanut Soup
this soup was amazing. the slight touch of peanut butter paired with the rich, creamy flavor of the tubers, followed by the bite of cayenne... was overwhelmingly wonderful. i made a few changes though... i used half sweet potatoes, half yams, then threw in some leftover butternut squash i had. i most definitely used FRESH tomatoes. i also used about 3/5 of water from veggie broth. i served it over millet for myself, while my boyfriend ate it with sourdough bread. we both loved it. besides the pain of food processing hte soup, it was all very easy to assemble and had an authentic taste. i will use this forever more!
