Beet and Daikon Salsa

Jul 7, 2010
Cookbook: Vij's: Elegant and Inspired Indian Cuisine
Rating: 5/5

Cookbook: Vij's: Elegant and Inspired Indian Cuisine
Rating: 5/5

See my review of Vij's Family Chicken Curry for the meal's full menu. After trying to grind the fenugreek seeds by hand in my mortar and pestle, I decided to just work with them a...

Grilled Coconut Kale

Jul 7, 2010
Cookbook: Vij's: Elegant and Inspired Indian Cuisine
Rating: 2/5

See my comments for Vij's Family Chicken Curry for the entire menu. This recipe was definitely the weak link in the meal. I think I followed the recipe correctly, but nonetheless...

Cookbook: Vij's: Elegant and Inspired Indian Cuisine
Rating: 4/5

This is apparently one of the easiest recipes in the book, and other than the time that it takes to chop all that fresh ginger, it was indeed quite easy to prepare. I halved of th...

Cookbook: The Enchanted Broccoli Forest...and Other Timeless Delicacies
Rating: 5/5

Like many of the recipes in this book, this took some time to put together. But again, like most of the recipes in this book, the result was DELICIOUS! I used half white button...

Quiche Formula

Feb 21, 2009
Cookbook: The Enchanted Broccoli Forest...and Other Timeless Delicacies
Rating: 5/5
