* 2015-04-07 [http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/824633/sweet-potato-and-red-pepper-soup Sweet potato and red pepper soup] and [http://www.theppk.com/2013/03/smoky-tomato-lentil-soup-with-spinach-olives/ Smoky Tomato Lentil Soup With Spinach & Olives] with [http://naturalchow.com/2014/09/whole-wheat-crusty-bread/ crusty bread]. Both soups ended up good, not great. The sweet potato one we had to extensively adulterate to get it to good (basically added salt, herbs and olive oil, plus some spice). The Spinach one was pretty good straight up. The bread was *awesome*, thank you Sacha! | * 2015-04-07 [http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/824633/sweet-potato-and-red-pepper-soup Sweet potato and red pepper soup] and [http://www.theppk.com/2013/03/smoky-tomato-lentil-soup-with-spinach-olives/ Smoky Tomato Lentil Soup With Spinach & Olives] with [http://naturalchow.com/2014/09/whole-wheat-crusty-bread/ crusty bread].

The Spinach one was pretty good straight up. The bread was *awesome*, thank you Sacha! (Bread note: Doubled the recipe and split the dough into our two largest bowls, and that still nearly overflowed in the two hours I left it to rise. Also, used all-purpose flour instead of whole wheat since I didn't have any on hand. There was enough bread to freeze, so maybe next time a single recipe is enough. For easiest steaming, pre-heat with the boiler pan, then put the bread in the oven and use a short drinking glass or mug to dump water into the broiler pan before closing the oven door.) | ||
* 2015-03-31 [http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2835667/jerk-sweet-potato-and-black-bean-curry Jerk sweet potato & black bean curry] and [http://allrecipes.com/recipe/spicy-vegan-potato-curry/ Spicy Vegan Potato Curry], we doubled the latter. The Jerk recipe was *amazing*, probably the most tasty thing we've ever made, would make again A+++. We roasted the peppers ourselves (and have extras to make soup next time). The potato recipe was a bit lacking, and then Pari did some magic with onions and tumeric and oil and others things, and it turned out awesome as well, but we won't be able to duplicate that. Sacha also made [http://www.peta.org/living/food/homemade-vegan-naan/ vegan naan], 6x, which was a bit much. And tapioca, yummy. | * 2015-03-31 [http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2835667/jerk-sweet-potato-and-black-bean-curry Jerk sweet potato & black bean curry] and [http://allrecipes.com/recipe/spicy-vegan-potato-curry/ Spicy Vegan Potato Curry], we doubled the latter.

* 2015-03-24 Quadrupled the [http://www.onegreenplanet.org/vegan-recipe/vegan-mushroom-stroganoff/ mushroom stroganoff] recipe, garnished it with flat Italian parsley, and served it with mixed greens dressed with a strawberry vinaigrette and toasted sliced almonds, accompanied by a quadruple batch of [http://minimalistbaker.com/simple-vegan-dinner-rolls/ dinner rolls]. Made vegetable stock from scratch by sweating chopped onions, carrots, and celery, then simmering it with saved-up vegetable scraps. One ~900g package of rotini is not enough; may want one and a half next time. Not the cheapest of meals, but very yummy. Demolished by OCAD students, Hacklab members, and other visitors. A relaxing afternoon of cooking. | * 2015-03-24 Quadrupled the [http://www.onegreenplanet.org/vegan-recipe/vegan-mushroom-stroganoff/ mushroom stroganoff] recipe, garnished it with flat Italian parsley, and served it with mixed greens dressed with a strawberry vinaigrette and toasted sliced almonds, accompanied by a quadruple batch of [http://minimalistbaker.com/simple-vegan-dinner-rolls/ dinner rolls].
