Fresh and Fast Vegan Pleasures: More than 140 Delicious, Creative Recipes to Nourish Aspiring and Devoted Vegans

By Amanda Grant
Da Capo Press - 2002

This recipe didn't use a proper dredge for the veggies before you fried them and as a result most of the corn meal fell off. Especially on the peppers, it did not stick to the skin at all! The veggies were still tasty and I'm sure they will make a great fried veggie sandwich tomorrow...but still. Disappointed!

Warm Cumin and Coriander Spinach on Garlic Mashed Potatoes : page 86

I would have rated this a four because it was dilicious, but if you're going to put cumin and coriander right in the title, then that should be a dominant flavour. It wasn't, the lemon completely took over.

I loved the mashed potatoes that went under this. I've never put mustard in mashed potatoes before, but it totally works! I swapped the fresh garlic for some rosemary glazed garlic I had left over.

I also swapped the spinach for some new kale (not sure what kind it was, but it was flatter than dinosaur) and some beet greens.
