* 2016-06-28 [http://dishingupthedirt.com/recipes/soup/roasted-eggplant-white-bean-soup-2/ Roasted Eggplant and White Bean Soup] 4x and [http://www.vegrecipesofindia.com/kachumber-salad-kuchumber-salad/ Kuchumber Salad] (a repeat) 4x and [http://www.food.com/recipe/baba-ganoush-the-best-in-the-world-67570 Baba Ganoush] 2x, with an attempt at Vegan version of [http://www.saucygirlskitchen.com/2011/04/03/chocolate-meringue-cookies-with-peanut-butter-cream-centers/ Chocolate Meringue Cooking with Peanut Butter Cream Centers] for dessert. Plus garlic/rosemary/pepper bread. The soup was subtle but excellent and easy to make - would make again. Kuchumber salad awesome as usual - though you can't make friends with salad. The Baba Ganoush, Pari went totally nuts and WAY off that recipe, made a version she has done many times before, where you don't even blend it, and it was *amazing*, but that recipe link won't help at all to re-achieve it. I'll see if I can get her to write the recipe down. The attempt at vegan chocolate merangue cookies was bizarre - the coco caused the whipped aqua-faba to deflate, so we had very flat cookies. Still tasted incredible with the peanut butter though. We have this idea that it's the preservative in our cheap coco that caused the problem, plus the chemistry needs to be more acidic, and/or maybe we need to mix the coco in before beating the aqua-faba... we're going to try again soon... | |||
* 2016-06-21 [http://www.onegreenplanet.org/vegan-recipe/vegan-makhani/ Vegan "Butter" "Chicken"] 4x and [http://damndelicious.net/2014/10/04/roasted-vegetables/ Roasted Veggies] 2x with [http://www.cearaskitchen.com/indian-saffron-yellow-rice-pilaf-vegan-glutenfree/ Saffron Yellow Rice Pilaf] 3x. The butter chicken was good but not great - Pari spent ages trying to fix it, but I thought it was fine. It wasn't as big as I thought it would be - only about half the pot for 4x. The rice was *awesome*, would make again, though really I don't think the saffron made much difference. The veggies were good, but no thanks to the recipe, you could have roasted them in olive oil for all the difference the recipe made. No leftovers, food was gone at about 9pm - though interestingly, we also ran out of bowls, we're somehow down a bunch, we need to buy more. | * 2016-06-21 [http://www.onegreenplanet.org/vegan-recipe/vegan-makhani/ Vegan "Butter" "Chicken"] 4x and [http://damndelicious.net/2014/10/04/roasted-vegetables/ Roasted Veggies] 2x with [http://www.cearaskitchen.com/indian-saffron-yellow-rice-pilaf-vegan-glutenfree/ Saffron Yellow Rice Pilaf] 3x.

The red pepper pasta was surprisingly good, would make again. Rich and creamy and nutty. The soup was always was excellent. We also had garlic bread. Some left-over soup because it was a slow night - still only a few servings, but didn't have any thing to put it in since they are all still full from last week! | * 2016-06-14 [http://minimalistbaker.com/vegan-roasted-red-pepper-pasta-gf/ Roaster Red Pepper Pasta] 4x and [http://cookieandkate.com/2015/vegan-lentil-soup-recipe/ Spicy Lentil Soup] (a repeat) 4x.
