Silk Chocolate Cream Pie with Pecan Crust from The Dahlia Bakery Cookbook: Sweetness in Seattle

This is a showstopper of a pie with rather sophisticated flavours - intense chocolate filling with salty, crunchy crust. Can't say I cared much for the crust on its own but it was a great foil, both texturally... read more >

Vegetarian Times

Jack Burgers : page 45

I made these twice, the first time following the recipe, the second time with just a few changes that resulted in something edible.

Both the recipe name and the magazine photograph are very misleading as this recipe is for a savoury lentil-walnut pancake (that is far too sweet), not a burger. I didn’t have gluten free pancake mix so just used flour the first time and used these lentils instead of canned. Neither my vegetarian daughter nor I liked them and even the dog that eats everything turned his nose up at them!

For the second batch, I added only 1 small carrot, reduced the amount of marinara sauce and used dry breadcrumbs instead of flour/pancake mix. With just those few changes, the mixture could be shaped into patties and fried after a good chill in the fridge. The texture was a little soft but they were tasty and held up quite well with typical burger toppings and a toasted bun.

The rating is for the recipe as written; I'd give my version 3 1/2 stars.
