This was a really good traditional recipe - ours was the best I've had. Here are the changes we made: 1) used 4-5 small Fuji apples, unpeeled but cored - chopped further by food processor; 2) combined walnuts with chopped almonds and pecans for the 1 c. of nuts shown; 3) used port as the sweet red wine; 4) added some date sugar because we had some on hand - added some depth; 5) made it 48 hrs in advance and refrigerated until the passover dinner -- yum!!

Sweet Potato Pecan Waffles

Reviewed: Dec. 9, 2006

This recipe is *almost* delicious. At the time of this writing, the ingredients call for 1 TB baking powder and 1 teaspoon nutmeg. In our opinion this was too much of both. Would suggest halving the nutmeg and reducing the baking powder. We also added brown sugar and lemon juice to try and soften the aftertaste of baking soda. And we used whole wheat flower. With these modifications, it was tasty!

Braised Tofu

Reviewed: Mar. 13, 2003

It's great! I used a bit of onion and a lot of brocolli instead of the veggies recommended -and everything still worked out brilliantly. note: use a nonstick pan. first attempt to braise tofu in an non- non-stick was less successful.

Delicious Black Bean Burritos

Reviewed: Jan. 4, 2003

We substituted mushrooms for the red bell pepper, and 1/3 fat cream cheese; doubled the recipe and cooked it in a pot instead of a skillet. Tasted fantastic. Served 5 adults, 1 burrito each, with 1 burrito leftover. On it's own though, 1 burrito each was not enough food for this hungry crowd.
