Italian Tomato Sauce : page 80
This is one of my favourite pasta sauces. It is very rich and chunky. I usually use brown sugar instead of honey. Sometimes I add the fresh parsley and sometimes I don't. Sometimes we add some meat - usually we have a supply of frozen raw turkey burgers (homemade). It's easy to part-thaw one, chop it up, and add it to the sauce. Another vegetarian alternative is to chop up and add a Moneys Mushroom burger or two.

Ratatouille : page 179
This is a great recipe to use up lots of veggies at the end of the summer when they are cheap! We used to go to a farm stand in early September and get enormous eggplants, bell peppers, etc. Don't omit or skimp on the spices. Great with olives, which are optional. I haven't tried the spicy version yet.

Refritos (Refried Beans) : page 168
These refried beans are excellent in quesadillas. I usually throw the 2 cups of dried pinto beans into my slow cooker with some boiling water. They take about 4 hours or so to cook. The cooked beans are very soft and easy to mash up. In the past, I've used 2 tbsp. of cumin rather than 2 tsp. Don't forget the fresh garlic! Yum!

Scheherazade Casserole : page 141
This recipe is VERY healthy sounding, but it is surprisingly tasty. Good for using up any dried soy beans you have sitting around in the cupboard. The feta is essential. Also, it might be good with a few chopped Kalamata olives. It would be interesting to find out if it freezes well.

Sweet & Tart Mustard Dressing : page 42
We keep this dressing in a glass jar in the fridge. My husband likes to use a grainy Dijon mustard. I prefer to use maple syrup instead of honey. It's a good idea to have a good quality red wine vinegar (or other flavored vinegar) on hand if you want to make dressings from scratch.
