Hummus

Sep 18, 2010
Cookbook: How to Cook Everything (Completely Revised 10th Anniversary Edition): 2,000 Simple Recipes for Great Food
Rating: 5/5

It's amazing how easy it is to make this - and it tastes better than the usual store-bought hummus. I would suggest using a food processor, as I nearly gave my blender a heart att...

Lentil Rice Soup

Oct 14, 2009
Cookbook: Canadian Living's Best Vegetarian Dishes
Rating: 4/5

This is more of a stew than a soup, which is fine with me. It's a nice, hearty dish for a cold day. I found that it could use more rice (1 cup instead of one half). Also, I substit...

Pasta e Fagioli

Oct 14, 2009
Cookbook: Canadian Living's Best Vegetarian Dishes
Rating: 5/5

This is a great pasta dish because it basically covers all the bases so it's super-healthy (and relatively fast to make). There's your veg: onion, carrots, potato, and spinach (tho...

Gingerbread Spice Cake

Cookbook: Deceptively Delicious: Simple Secrets to Get Your Kids Eating Good Food
Rating: 4/5

I made this with my 4-year-old. She did ask what the green stuff was (a cup of pureed broccoli) but I just said, "Green stuff." She didn't say anything about the half-cup of pureed...

Cookbook: The Williams-Sonoma Collection: Risotto
Rating: 5/5

This is a wonderful dish to make in the fall. It is a beautiful egg-yolk yellow and tastes amazing. We ended up halving the recipe, as the full recipe called for 7-8 cups of stock...

Cookbook: The Williams-Sonoma Collection: Risotto
Rating: 4/5

I love a good mushroom risotto! For this recipe, we used dried porcini mushrooms and for the fresh mushrooms we used crimini (brown). The main flavour of the dish is overwhelmingly...

Carrot Cupcakes

Dec 5, 2008
Cookbook: Everyday Food
Rating: 2/5

The main problem that we had with this recipe is that the shredded carrot didn't cook very well at all. We made large shreds - perhaps smaller shreds would have been better. But I'...

rhubarb crisp

Dec 5, 2008
Cookbook: Everyday Food
Rating: 4/5

This crisp is great when made with nice, fresh local rhubarb - one of the treats of summer. Excellent with ice cream on the side! Don't cut back on the sugar!

Cookbook: Everyday Food
Rating: 4/5

The recipe makes a nice, firm turkey burger. We usually don't include the scallions. These burgers (uncooked) freeze really well, and can also be used in pasta sauce.

Cookbook: Everyday Food
Rating: 5/5

This is one of our absolute favourites! The meatballs are delicious and we make it using whole wheat spaghetti. I recommend making the sauce from scratch, but you could also use bo...
