Bruschetta with White Bean Puree : page 102
I think of this as white hummus. I add salt but otherwise follow the recipe (if you use canned beans, you may not need the salt). It's a great blank slate -- the taste changes so much from one herb to another. And cilantro, rosemary, flat leaf parsley, sage and chives all work. I love it as one component of a plate which includes olives, anchovies, chunks of feta, roasted red peppers.

Lentil Soup withs Lots of Cilantro : page 89
I adapted this for the slow cooker, thus skipping adding the oil and using organic garlic powder (a product I buy at Whole Foods and LOVE). I doubled, using a full pound of lentils, and froze several portions. I was afraid this might be a bit dull, but the addition of all that cilantro is magical. It really transforms the soup into an aromatic delight. (Obviously, no cilantro was added to the frozen portions.)

Summer Pasta with Tomatoes and Chickpeas : page 210
It's still just warm enough to keep some herbs going and to harvest the last of the tomatoes so this pasta is just right. I followed the recipe precisely, using feta cheese. I realize it would defeat the whole 'health' thing, but I would have liked more cheese. Other than that, this is good stuff. I think I would like it as well with lemon juice or champagne vinegar instead of the balsamic.
