Roasted Garlic Cauliflower

Reviewed: Jul. 6, 2009
Excellent. I have always felt lukewarm about cauliflower and never purchased it (not enough flavor as a vegetable). Someone gave me some so I went in search of a recipe, found this one, followed it except for doubling the garlic and lowering the cooking temperature to 400, and everyone in my family wanted more. I found it hard to believe that such a simple recipe added so much flavor. I will DEFINITELY go out of my way to buy cauliflower now.

Creamy Turnip With Paprika Soup

Reviewed: Jul. 1, 2009
Great flavor! This is a nice, comforting soup that would be perfect on a chilly fall day. The paprika and cayenne give it a subtle heat, and the texture is wonderful. I subbed coconut milk for cream, and used veg broth--otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly. The crispy shallots really add to it, but it's still delicious without. A definite keeper!

Zucchini with Dill Weed and Garlic-Yogurt Sauce

Reviewed: Jun. 23, 2009
This was delicious! I used Mexican zucchini and quinoa. Instead of boiling the zucchini, which I think would kill the flavor, I sauteed it on medium-high while the quinoa was cooking, and then I turned it up to high for the last few minutes to brown it. I used Greek yogurt for the sauce, so it was nice and tangy; it mixed perfectly with the caramelized zucchini. I thought a cup of dill might be a bit strong, but it was just right. A definite keeper--and so easy!

Lentil and Green Collard Soup

Reviewed: Jun. 23, 2009
This is a nice soup and a good use of collards. I'd say the essential ingredient is the lemon juice--the soup tasted much better once that was added. And definitely use red lentils instead of brown or green; they have a softer texture that works well with this soup.

Spicy-Sweet Glazed Salmon

Reviewed: Jun. 22, 2009
This was just OK for me. I followed the recipe exactly (except I subbed pure maple syrup for brown sugar), and I thought the onion powder was overpowering. Plus I wasn't crazy about the cilantro with the salmon--and I love cilantro. I didn't find it to be spicy at all. Despite all my negatives, it wasn't bad; it just wasn't great. Thanks, anyway.

Mexican Bean and Rice Salad

Reviewed: Jun. 17, 2009
This was good, but I thought it needed some oomph, so I added some nice, vinegary hot sauce. I made a few minor subs based on personal preference: quinoa for rice, roasted Hatch green chiles for jalapeno (they're hotter and more flavorful), and green onions for white. I'd add some red wine vinegar and avocado if I made this again. Nice, hearty dish.

Kashmiri-Style Kidney Beans with Turnips

Reviewed: Jun. 16, 2009
I had some turnips from the CSA, and this was a great way to use them up. This was perfectly seasoned (except I added more salt) and fairly easy to prepare. I used chickpeas, all fresh ginger, and coconut oil--delish!

Watercress, Endive and Avocado Salad

Reviewed: Jun. 5, 2009
This was very good. The market was out of watercress, so I used bok choy I had from the CSA. I subbed shallot for onion (I prefer the milder flavor), and I made my own balsamic vinaigrette (sorry, Newman's Own). I might add fresh basil or oregano next time. This is a great combination of textures--I love the contrast of the creamy avocado and the crunchy endive. And it's so easy to make. A definite keeper!

Red Cabbage With Apricots And Balsamic Vinegar

Reviewed: Jun. 4, 2009
I enjoyed this, but BF quit after a few bites--and he eats everything (hence the 3 stars instead of 4). I'd make some changes for personal preference: use about a quarter of the apricots (I used unsweetened and unsulfured, which are a bit more tart and too strong in this dish), half the spices, and twice the onions (which I caramelized). The onions, while sweet themselves, really helped balance out the sweetness and tang of the sauce. I used olive oil instead of butter. Overall, a very interesting dish!

Kathy's Baked Stuffed Tomatoes

Reviewed: Jun. 2, 2009
I love every ingredient in this recipe, but I thought the proportions were out of whack. I eat a lot of "green"-tasting foods, but this tasted too green even for me--yet the overall flavor was bland. I think it needs less arugula and beans, and more feta and Parm for some saltiness. A lot of reviewers mentioned that their tomatoes were too watery--I used beefsteaks and they came out very firm.

Refreshing Summer Orzo Salad

Reviewed: May 28, 2009
Oh, wow. This is SO GOOD! Excellent combination of flavors and textures. The only changes I made were to use veg broth and fresh herbs (I added the basil with the spinach rather than sauteing it), and olive oil instead of butter. I'll dry-toast the nuts next time--they seemed a little soggy from toasting in the oil, and my garlic started to burn. Still, absolutely delicious--a new favorite!

Asparagus Tomato Salad

Reviewed: May 27, 2009
This is similar to Asparagus Avocado Medley, also from this site, but I like that salad better. That being said, this is a good combo of veggies and flavors. I prefer to use fresh herbs, and the market didn't have tarragon, so I used ground fennel seed, which has a similar licorice-y flavor. I'm glad I tried this, but I'll stick with the other recipe.

Neat Sloppy Joes

Reviewed: May 25, 2009
Great flavor! I made this with lentils: I sauteed the onion and some garlic, then added 1c lentils and 2c veg broth and simmered till the liquid was gone, about 35 min. Then I lightly mashed the lentils and added the remaining ingredients (except the celery--not a fan). Instead of tomato soup, I pureed two tomatoes with some tomato paste and salt. It came out great! I'll definitely make this again.

Romaine with Garlic Lemon Anchovy Dressing

Reviewed: May 25, 2009
The dressing really is as good as the reviews say--and it's so simple! I added black and kalamata olives and pine nuts, and that put this salad over the edge. This is a new favorite!

Sliced Tomatoes with Fresh Herb Dressing

Reviewed: May 15, 2009
This was very good and so easy. I thought it might need vinegar, but the cheese gives enough of a tang. I didn't have chives, but next time I'll add a small amount of shallot if I can't find chives again. Nice, simple salad!

Navratan Korma

Reviewed: May 14, 2009
This is a perfectly seasoned korma, and it's very similar to the one I used to get at my favorite authentic Indian restaurant, in New Jersey. I made a few changes: doubled the garlic and ginger (per the recipe creator's additional instructions), added a pinch of fenugreek seeds, used a cup of pureed fresh tomatoes instead of tomato sauce, subbed cauliflower for green beans, and subbed coconut milk. I also sauteed the onion in coconut oil, omitted the paneer, and toasted the nuts in a dry pan and added them toward the end. This was a bit sweet but absolutely delicious.

Horchata (Cinnamon Rice Milk)

Reviewed: May 10, 2009
Gooey, Sticky, Mess. Horchata is supposed to be thinner than milk, sweet, refreshing, and you can never have enough. Atole is a thick cornmeal drink, like breakfast in a cup. It's quite tasty and a comfort food here in New Mexico. This recipe turned out somewhere in between Horchata and Atole. I love both, but not mixed together. Blend the rice, but don't cook it, and throw out the gritty ends.

Guacamole Salad

Reviewed: May 8, 2009
As guacamole salads go, this was average, but as salads in general go, it was great. I tweaked it a bit: used half the avocado (I like a salad to have more of a varied texture), fresh garlic, fresh roasted green chiles instead of jalapenos, and just a drizzle of olive oil (the avocados add enough of a creamy texture). I thought it could have used more lime juice for more of a vinegary bite, but my lime was pretty dry. I added hot sauce, and that put it over the edge.

Swiss Chard with Pinto Beans and Goat Cheese

Reviewed: May 6, 2009
This was surprisingly delicious, and so easy to prepare! I used kidney beans because I'm not a huge fan of pintos, but I can see how this would really work with the pintos. I used olive oil, and I covered the pan after adding the cheese rather than baking the dish. I thought the lime juice would stand out, but it blended in perfectly. The only change I'd make is to add more chard and tomato. Great combination of flavors!

French Spring Soup

Reviewed: May 5, 2009
This is a nice vegetable soup that's fairly easy to make. I made a few minor changes: subbed coconut milk for cream, quinoa for rice, and olive oil for butter, and per other reviews I used broth (veg) instead of water. Next time, I'll add more asparagus; it added a great flavor.
