* 2015-07-07 [http://opinionessoftheworld.com/2012/08/06/moroccan-spiced-tomato-chickpea-and-zucchini-stew/ Moroccan Spiced Tomato, Chickpea and Zucchini Stew] (tripled) and falafel from Roberta's Fresh Cookbook (doubled). Plus bread from Mabels, rice and couscous.  Both dishes were *excellent*, would make again - fairly easy, quick, cheap and delicious.  The stew pot was not full, you could quad that recipe for a bit more.  We also simmered a lot of extra time (maybe 30 more min than recipe calls for) to improve taste/texture.  Double of falafel was LOT more than the 2*12 they claim, I think we made about 100 on four trays!
* 2015-06-30 [http://www.thefirstmess.com/2014/09/17/really-good-vegan-tomato-soup-recipe/ really good tomato soup] and [http://ohsheglows.com/2011/11/07/vegan-lasagna-with-basil-cashew-cheeze/ Vegan Lasagna with Basil Cashew Cheeze], both doubled, both excellent!  We served the maker festival team (~12 people) tonight so we had a bigger budget and went in for more expensive recipes.  The soup took a lot of work - that's a LOT of tomatoes to roast!  But it is super delicious as promised.  Roberta made the lasagna and it's even more work but amazing, we had two big trays and they went fast, I saw a lot of people (including myself) going back for seconds and then eating until they were too full :-).  I'd make either dish again, but they do take a long time (we started at 4pm today rather than 5pm as usual, and served a little after 7pm.

* 2015-06-23 [http://minimalistbaker.com/mediterranean-baked-sweet-potatoes/ mediterranean baked sweet potatoes] (a repeat from a few months ago), tripled, absolutely GREAT as before, tips from last time worked out really well.  It served a LOT of people, probably only need to double it really since it's SO filling.  Used 9 huge sweet potatoes, each ends up as 4 servings, so that's 36 servings total, we had 8 left over at 11pm.
