* 2015-07-14 [http://www.yummly.com/recipe/external/Vietnamese-Bun-Cha-With-Sticky-Spicy-Tofu-1164315 Vietnamese bun cha with sticky spicy tofu] and [http://itdoesnttastelikechicken.com/2014/05/24/cucumber-avocado-rolls/ Cucumber Avocado Rolls], the vietnamese dish tripled, the cucumbers doubled.  Both are delicious, especially the vietnamese bun cha, would make again for sure!  Served a lot of people, 2 packages of vermicelli noodles is a lot!  Next time, press and dry the tofu, since it takes forever to brown while wet - I made in three batches, took more than 10 minutes each.  I chopped the mint (rather than leaving leaves), which worked great. 
* 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.
