* 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. | |||
* 2015-04-07 [http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/824633/sweet-potato-and-red-pepper-soup Sweet potato and red pepper soup] and [http://www.theppk.com/2013/03/smoky-tomato-lentil-soup-with-spinach-olives/ Smoky Tomato Lentil Soup With Spinach & Olives] with [http://naturalchow.com/2014/09/whole-wheat-crusty-bread/ crusty bread]. Both soups ended up good, not great. The sweet potato one we had to extensively adulterate to get it to good (basically added salt, herbs and olive oil, plus some spice). The Spinach one was pretty good straight up. The bread was *awesome*, thank you Sacha! (Bread note: Doubled the recipe and split the dough into our two largest bowls, and that still nearly overflowed in the two hours I left it to rise. Also, used all-purpose flour instead of whole wheat since I didn't have any on hand. There was enough bread to freeze, so maybe next time a single recipe is enough. For easiest steaming, pre-heat with the boiler pan, then put the bread in the oven and use a short drinking glass or mug to dump water into the broiler pan before closing the oven door.) | * 2015-04-07 [http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/824633/sweet-potato-and-red-pepper-soup Sweet potato and red pepper soup] and [http://www.theppk.com/2013/03/smoky-tomato-lentil-soup-with-spinach-olives/ Smoky Tomato Lentil Soup With Spinach & Olives] with [http://naturalchow.com/2014/09/whole-wheat-crusty-bread/ crusty bread].

* 2015-03-31 [http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2835667/jerk-sweet-potato-and-black-bean-curry Jerk sweet potato & black bean curry] and [http://allrecipes.com/recipe/spicy-vegan-potato-curry/ Spicy Vegan Potato Curry], we doubled the latter. The Jerk recipe was *amazing*, probably the most tasty thing we've ever made, would make again A+++. We roasted the peppers ourselves (and have extras to make soup next time). The potato recipe was a bit lacking, and then Pari did some magic with onions and tumeric and oil and others things, and it turned out awesome as well, but we won't be able to duplicate that. Sacha also made [http://www.peta.org/living/food/homemade-vegan-naan/ vegan naan], 6x, which was a bit much. And tapioca, yummy. | * 2015-03-31 [http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2835667/jerk-sweet-potato-and-black-bean-curry Jerk sweet potato & black bean curry] and [http://allrecipes.com/recipe/spicy-vegan-potato-curry/ Spicy Vegan Potato Curry], we doubled the latter.
