The Peaceful Palate: Fine Vegetarian Cuisine

Aztec Salad : page 54
I was attracted to this recipe by the combination of black beans, sweet peppers, cilantro and corn but I think the dressing let it down somewhat. I found the vinegar overpowering. I would make this again but with a radically altered dressing.

Broccoli with Mustard Vinaigrette : page 86
I was looking for a way to jazz up my steamed broccoli and came across this simple recipe. I found it a little too vinegary but my husband liked it.

Italian Green Beans : page 88
This is a yummy way to dress up green beans, bathed in a tomato, garlic sauce with a hint of basil.

Oatmeal Cookies : page 139
Mmmmmm, I have not been able to stop eating these cookies since I made them last night! They are dark, slightly chewy and delicious. There is a 1/4 cup of molasses in these and the taste is noticeable but I love them. My daughter is not such a fan of that flavour but her loss is my gain.

Pasta Primavera : page 108
I was slightly disappointed in the sauce. While it has a nice creamy texture, the flavour was definitely lacking something. I may make this again and fiddle with the seasonings.

Pasta Salad : page 55
This was a very tasty pasta salad but I found the dressing a little too acidic for my taste. There is no oil in the recipe which I found a little strange. I added black beans to make this dish a little heartier and more suitable for a main dish.

Pasta with Peanut Sauce : page 104
This was a very basic peanut sauce that definitely lacked some zest and zip. I think the spice quotient needs to be bumped up and next time I will also add some lime juice.

Simple Golden Broth : page 71
This simple soup made with yellow split peas is extremely easy to make and delicious.
