* 2015-01-06 [http://www.thestar.com/life/food_wine/2014/02/21/how_to_make_an_ethiopian_vegetarian_feast.html Misir Alicha & Tikil Gomen] Both doubled, with double order of Injera (from Kensington Market).  Both great, but I think the Tikil is the better of the two.  It's also a lot more volume - despite the recipe claiming they make equal quantities, the Tikil is about 3x as large!  And also, for dessert, a rice-apricot-cashew treat from Roberta's "Baking with Agave Nectar" cookbook (now donated to hacklab).
* 2014-12-30 [http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/miso-sesame-winter-squash-recipe.html Miso Winter Squash] without sesame, sadly.  Doubled.  Very delicious.  We A/B tested with baking vs. stir-frying for the second step - baking was more delicious, but stir-frying looked way better and the tofu was better tasting.  Extra baked squash.  Note: should in future read entire recipe rather than just looking at pictures before buying extra ingredients!  Plus [http://allrecipes.com/recipe/carrot-cookies-ii/ carrot cookies] later (also vegan thanks to vegan butter + egg substitute, tasted great but a little bit crumbly.
