The Food Matters Cookbook: 500 Revolutionary Recipes for Better Living

This dish inspired a new rule in my house - I am never again allowed to prepare a meal with Brussels sprouts that aren't roasted.

I was ok with it, but certainly couldn't stick out eating all the leftovers myself, and will therefore probably never be able to eat it again.

Don't make this with dried beans. That's all I'm saying.

Not a bad soup, but I'd definitely be upping the seasoning and herbage combination if I made it again.

I really liked the concept of this dish - the flavors are good, and the shredded sweet potatoes were an interesting way of preparing those.

But, it really needed more beef. I know the whole point of this book is a diet that advocates less meat, but there just really wasn't enough meat in this recipe. I'm not a big "MEEEEEAAAAT" person by any means, but there's no way you can parcel out 8 ounces of meat between servings

I really like this version of tuna salad - it's got a great freshness to it, and you'd never in billion years guess there were beans it. It's a nice alternative if you're sick of regular tuna salad.

This was really good with salmon, and it's nice and light, which is not something I'd expect from a bean dish.
