Starting all over again with the choice recipes

I have been waiting anxiously to finish all the recipes so that I finally can go back an cook some of my absolute favorites like Eggplant with Pinenuts which I served to company tonight! WOW was it delicious!!!!!!!!!!!! So now I'll keep cooking with Bill and continue to give review of all the items that have been cooked.


1. Tahini Sauce, pg 202, is mediocre compared to the tahini sauce listed on pg 89 which is heavenly

2. Green Herb Dressing, pg 190, rated V++. My good friend Chris Rizzo chipped in and made this dressing which he liked very much. It makes just enough dressing for one salad.

3. Brown Rice Salad, pg 21, Rated V++. Chris made this one too. He said it was a little on the spicy side, so you might want to cut the cayenne pepper down to 1T.
this salad serves 8 people.

4. Avocado Chowder, pg 15, rated V++. This was the most fascinating dish. It would make a lovely, first course for a summer lunch or dinner. Serve it as a cold chowder in a small bowl with a spoon. I will guarantee that you have never tasted anything like it. Delightful!

5. Swedish Sweet Mustard, pg 201, rated V++. This is well worth making because you cannot find anything like it in the supermarket. It is spicy so Sam loves it the way it is, but I like it diluted with 1/2 and 1/2 Veganaise. The flavor is unique and tantalizing to the tongue.

6. Garlic Ginger Vinaigrette, pg 190, rated V+. I used it on a spinach, orange and nut salad which may not be the right choice for this dressing. It has quite a lot of ginger in it which you may want to decrease. It makes 2 cups.

Can't wait to cook another V+++ recipe! Now that the pressure is off, I can just enjoy the ride.....................
