Studendous hummus : page 229
Son and I enjoyed this one. We like trying new versions of hummus. I also made the cumin salt as suggested and it was a nice addition. I didn't cook the chick peas since I was unable to find dried at any of the stores I checked so I used canned. Two cans yielded a tiny bit more that the recipe called for and not wanting to waste them I just added them in.

Son and I had these for lunch. Very good. I couldn't find horseradish cheddar so I used cheddar and a chopped horseradish in a jar. No poppy seed bagels so I used everything bagels.

Roasted Shrimp and Broccoli : page 100
Made a half recipe for my supper one night. I had cumin seeds but not coriander seeds so I used a smaller amount of ground coriander. I'll be making this again. Easy and delicious. Nice flavors from the lemon, chili powder and other spices.

Garlicky sesame-cured broccoli salad : page 163
This one says you can leave at room temperature for at least an hour or up to 48 hours in refrigerator. I decided to make the day before I was planning on eating. I'm not sure why but I didn't care for the taste of the broccoli this way. I enjoy all the ingredients involved but somehow this didn't work for me taste wise in the finished dish. I kinda hate to give it a low score because it's not the recipe itself that doesn't work it's that I didn't enjoy the taste.

Made 1/2 recipe for my breakfast. I didn't have hot smoked paprika but did have just smoked so I used that. Had anchovies I bought for another recipe. Really didn't taste them in this. Never thought of adding tomato to an egg salad sandwich but really enjoyed it. I had a great tomato from farmers market and made sandwich on a toasted whole wheat sandwich thin. Very tasty version of egg salad.

Chocolate Chip Pecan Loaf Cake : page 178
This one is a bit on the sweet side but still delicious with a cup of coffee. Easy to throw together with things I already had on hand.
