this recipe is REDICULOUSLY easy and SO good!! changes i made were minor: doubled the sauce, used arrowroot instead of cornstarch, added fresh string beans and a green pepper (cooked for a few minutes with the eggplant, after it was browned, before sauce was added). i garnished with sesame seeds and served it with steamed brown rice. i can't even believe how good it is - it's going into the rotation, for sure!! i'd imagine this simple sauce would be great with chicken or tofu as well. total keeper - love it!

Moussaka

Reviewed: Jun. 7, 2004

This was my first time making moussaka, and it was a total success.. it was so unbelievably good and authentic-tasting! Totally worth the long prep/cook time. I used 2 eggplants instead of 3, substituted a good bit of fresh flat parsley, plus oregano for the fines herbs and only made 1/2 the bechamel sauce (didn't have enough milk on hand) and it was fabulous. Don't bother trying to make this low-fat.. just add the butter, oil and milk and indulge!!

Eggplant Croquettes

Reviewed: Nov. 13, 2003

these turned out so yummy! my husband requested that i make them again and i definitely will. i also added more breadcrumbs since the mixture was a bit wet to form the patties (maybe 1/2 cup?).. and i used mozzarella cheese instead of cheddar. these would be great in a pita falafel-style, too :)

Sour Cream Chocolate Chip Cake I

Reviewed: Nov. 17, 2002

this cake was *very* easy and turned out fabulous. perfect with coffee. i dusted the top with a little powdered sugar to give it a finished look, but honestly, it didn't even need it. it's just sweet enough, but not over the top - perfect. i will definitely make this one again! and as to the extra 15 minutes of cooking time that others said it needed.. it ended up done for me in a little less than the 30 minutes alotted, but i use the heavy dark colored bakeware which may have contributed to that.

Sweet Balsamic Marinade

Reviewed: Jun. 25, 2001

i liked this marinade alot! very easy to prepare and very tasty. i didn't think it was very sweet though, add a little more brown sugar if you'd like it sweeter. will definitely use this again!

Teriyaki Wraps

Reviewed: May 24, 2001

i loved this recipe! it made a ton, and the leftovers are great cold the next day. I made a few modifications to the recipe (didn't add the extra salt, one cup of teriyaki instead of one and a half, fresh minced garlic instead of powder). Oh, and try adding chopped scallions into the wraps.. mmm :)
