Coconut Lentil Soup

Reviewed: Dec. 19, 2002

A bit bland looking. I jazzed it up a bit with chopped red peppers. The quantity of water in the receipe is low...I used closed to 4 cups.

A tasty dish that I throughly enjoyed.

It's not necessary to use a pressure cooker - I used a pyrex 4 quart pot and heavy lid. I recommend using 1 tbs of cumin and 1 tsp of pepper. The final appearance leaves a bit to be desired and might benefit by the addition of some chopped red peppers added along with the parsley just before serving.

Black Bean Soup II

Reviewed: Mar. 9, 2001

The amount of water seems to be excessive. I used 4 cups (vs 7) and it was still watery. I recommend using 3 cups. Additionally, I used 1 tsp of cumin.

Spicy Indian Dahl

Reviewed: Mar. 6, 2001

This dish has a wonderful aroma and flavor. I usually do not cook with fresh tomatoes (I don't like their texture or flavor), but enjoyed this combination. I would add sliced carrots and green peppers for more color contrast, reducing the number of tomatoes to 3.

Vegan Curried Rice

Reviewed: Mar. 6, 2001

Despite my preference for flavorful foods, the proportion of cumin, curry powder and chili powder to the amount of rice seems incorrect. I doubled the amount of rice; the spices were still too heavy. The correct proportion might be 1 tsp or each instead of 1 tbs of each.

Oven Baked Vegetables

Reviewed: Mar. 6, 2001

A simple dish which is easily tailored to vegetables on hand. I prefer to delete one onion and add a red pepper. I threw in some sliced black olives and sliced mushrooms for good measure. Additionally, I used 3/4 tsp of cayenne pepper to 'jazz' it up a bit.

Pineapple, Lime, and Ginger Soup

Reviewed: Feb. 27, 2001

The flavor is interesting, but lacks the zing expected after reading the write-up. Additionally, crushed pineapple was not as apealing as pineapple chunks.
