Super Natural Cooking: Five Delicious Ways to Incorporate Whole and Natural Foods into Your Cooking

Big Curry Noodle Pot : page 107
This is my go-to red curry recipe. Really easy and delicious. Sometimes I add less water and serve it over rice. If you think you're going to have leftovers, don't mix the curry and the noodles together.

I was a bit sceptical of this salad but was tempted to make it by the kumquats. It turned out to be delicious!

I love this soup. The curry paste you use can make all the difference. I like Thai Kitchen. I've had mixed luck with the sweet potato croutons. They don't always get very crispy. If you're making a double recipe you might want to put the sweet potatoes in the oven.

Dairyless Chocolate Mousse : page 178
Vegan chocolate mousse is so much easier than the regular kind! You really don't need to bother using chocolate soy milk, the regular flavour works just as well since there's lots of chocolate from the chocolate chips. The amaretto is also optional, just add more soy milk.

Garlic Scape Soup : page 146
I can't wait for spring to get here so I can get scapes again. A really nice simple soup.

Great recipe but takes a bit of planning ahead since it works much better with freshly cooked beans. Leftovers mushed onto pizza crust are also tasty!

Golden-Crusted Brussels Sprouts : page 151
Simple yummy brussels sprouts recipe. Roasting makes them taste really good and not at all like the brussels sprouts people have bad memories of!

Spiced Caramel Corn : page 174
Really good interesting caramel corn. Now that I'm thinking about it, I should make it again sometime soon.

Sprouted Garbanzo Burgers : page 155
Great idea for veggie burgers. I use canned chickpeas instead of sprouted. Leftovers make a great lunch to go.

Nice simple dinner. The citrus dressing is especially nice.

Good enough but not that inspiring. One of the few recipes I haven't made more than once from this book.
