I realize nobody is really reading/following/commenting on this Blog, so I thought "ehh, I don't need to blog this stuff anymore." I have still been cooking through this cookbook...slowly, but surely. I have decided to go ahead and write about the rest of my experiences anyway! This is part of my New Year's resolution as much as the cooking part is, and I like going back to see my notes. If you have decided to read this, THANKS!

While I have struggled with liking most of the recipes, I have really learned a lot about technique and commitment. I am far behind, but I'm glad I'm still going! Anyway...Enough about me...here's the review of week 7

Fava Bean and Mint soup. The picture I took was BEAUTIFUL. Buuuuttt....It got lost when I upgraded my phone. It was ok. It needed a LOT of salt and pepper. Most of these recipes do. I probably won't make it again. 

The Greek Green Beans picture has been lost too. I have no idea why it is called greek Green Beans. It's not particularly greek. It's not Green. It doesn't call for Green Beans. It does have beans though, and was a yummy side dish. It would also be great blended, like hummus, for a dip.

Next, Onions A La Greque. this is the first time I've used shallots. They were OK, but I'm not an onion fan. So I don't really think I'll make this one again.


Hummus and Falafel....Always one of my favorite things to eat! These recipes were great, the Tatziki sauce was delicious, and I even fried the falafel without burning them. I used the recipe for the Herbed Pizza Dough again, to eat with the Hummus. I will ABSOLUTELY make this again!


Lastly, Olive, Pepper, & Cherry Tomato Pasta. This was a big hit! B and the kids liked it, and Brian said it was a great alternative to my usual Marinara or Meat Sauce. Unfortunately, This picture has been lost as well.
