after reading the reviews, i added in more veggies so the sauce wouldn't be too overpowering. i would guess that i doubled the veggies. also, i simmered the sauce separately, then only incorporated the veggies to keep the flavors more independent. i served the sauce and veggies over pasta, and then topped with a bit of crumbled goat cheese (which is usually paired with balsamic vinegar and tomato sauce). also, roasting the veggies in the oven works just as well. all in all, great recipe, will make many times!

this cake recipe seems off to me. i attempted to make it, followed all instructions, etc., and at the "batter" stage, i had a very watery, FOAMY mess. i'll give the benefit of the doubt and say that maybe there were some misprints in the recipe--the flour especially seems to be a starngely small amount. also, the recipe called for using a 9*9 pan, and with the amount of watery foam batter i had, it would have bubbled out of the pan. unfortunately, trying to make this cake into muffins only made it worse--the muffins boiled out of the pan and burned. also, i tried adding flour to thicken up the batter, and that obviously didn't help. i think this recipe needs some adjusting, which is why i am only giving it one star.
