Fair Winds Press - 2009
Balsamic Strawberries : page 74
Great sweet, sour, and spicy combo. I would love to have these on top of ice cream or cake.

Better-Than-Tuna Salad : page 72
I made a half recipe that will be enough for at least 6 sandwiches. While this is an incredibly delicious sandwich filling, or a great salad if you don't grind the chickpeas, it really doesn't taste anything like tuna salad. But I'd have to say that it is indeed better.
I omitted the celery, cause I don't like it, and the salad still had a ton of veggies in it. When I make it again, I might cut back on the veggie to bean ratio. And I will also grate the carrots instead of chopping.

Borscht : page 217
This was an excellent soup. I loved the dill in it. I don't know if that's a standard ingredient in Borscht,but if it isn't it should be.

Butternut Squash Risotto with Toasted Sage : page 187
I really have a hard time making anything else when I get a butternut squash these days. It's just that good.

Flourless Chocolate Tart : page 103
Two major flaws and one minor flaw with this recipe:
1. Terrible crust. Sadly the thing it could have used most was flour...which is obviously not the point for this recipe.
2. This made enough crust and filling for two tarts, which I didn't realise until too late. My crust ended up too thick (not that a thinner crust would have made it less terrible) and then took twice as long to bake and I no longer had enough room for all the chocolate filling (the best part...).
2.5. The chocolate filling was too rich for my preference. But I've had richer vegan chocolate desserts and many people love it that way, so to each their own.

Hearty Stew : page 205
Very much enjoyed this stew. I always like trying to find ways to use tempeh that taste good and this one works! Very good warm you up winter kind of stew.

Holiday Cranberry Relish : page 240
Oranges are the secret to this beautiful cranberry sauce. I don't know why anyone eats cranberry sauce from a can when you can whip this up in no time.

Pasta and Green Beans with Peanut Sauce : page 157
Very simple pasta, exactly what the title says it will be. This is made with kids' pallets in mind, so for a more grown up peanut sauce flavour I add a little cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.

Sweet and Spicy Pumpkin Soup : page 45
Not a bad soup, but it was missing something, not sure what. Maybe a little more sweetness?

Tofu Scramble : page 28
A great basic scramble recipe from which to build your own. Because every vegan should have their own tofu scramble recipe!
