* 2015-04-21 [http://www.beginwithinnutrition.com/2014/03/31/lemony-cabbage-pasta-vegan-gf/ lemony cabbage and pasta] and [http://www.kalynskitchen.com/2014/03/vegan-cabbage-tofu-bowl-peanut-sauce.html Vegan Red Cabbage Bowl with Tofu and Peanut-Sriracha Sauce], both doubled. The pasta was a bit bland, but the red cabbage bowl was delicious and fresh! We subbed (briefly boiled) beans for the snap peas, and I'd recommend making extra sauce. The tofu was also great, and again I'd recommend more. Also turns out red cabbage can be boiled to make an awesome pH indicator, red in acid, purple when neutral, green ultimately going blue in bases, very very pretty! | |||
* 2015-04-14 [http://www.vegkitchen.com/recipes/glorious-grains/lemony-couscous-with-broccoli/ Lemony Couscous with Broccoli] (doubled) and [http://www.justapinch.com/recipes/soup/vegetable-soup/broccoli-gazpacho.html Broccoli Gazpacho] (tripled) with unfrozen bread from last week. The couscous was great initially, but it didn't have staying power - we didn't serve it for about 45 minutes, and during that time the couscous and the broccoli both went soft and the dish wasn't nearly as good. So this is a great dish if you eat it quickly, but perhaps not such a great dish for hacklab, where things often stay out for 2+h. The Gazpacho was a bit bland, the broccoli totally overpowered the tomato. So we added some tomato paste, which fixed it up a bit, but it was still only good. | * 2015-04-14 [http://www.vegkitchen.com/recipes/glorious-grains/lemony-couscous-with-broccoli/ Lemony Couscous with Broccoli] (doubled) and [http://www.justapinch.com/recipes/soup/vegetable-soup/broccoli-gazpacho.html Broccoli Gazpacho] (tripled) with unfrozen bread from last week.

* 2015-04-11 [http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1397/spiced-vegetable-biryani Spiced Vegetable Biryani] for the Saturday open house. It was delicious, and surprisingly easy to make - everything in one dish in the oven, no frying at all! Doubled actually, so two dishes really. Open house was super super popular with readers from Metro coming by (apparently 70 or so, according to Alex), but most didn't partake, so we had leftovers. I also forgot to cover the dishes with foil, so I think it ended up a little drier than it would have otherwise been. | * 2015-04-11 [http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1397/spiced-vegetable-biryani Spiced Vegetable Biryani] for the Saturday open house.
