Week 10 - recipe reviews

Artichoke Soup
Jalousie
Artichoke Tart
Artichoke Stir Fry
Asparagus Puffs

Another good week for this cookbook!

Per the side note in the Book, I switched from Jerusalem Artichokes to Sweet Potatoes. I didn't care for  the orange flavor in the parsnip soup, but it was GREAT in this recipe! The kids didn't like it, B didn't taste it. But I'd eat it again!


The jalousie was tasty! I couldn't find puff Pastry, so I substituted Phillo Dough instead. The kids are on an asparagus kick, so they liked it too!


Artichoke Stir Fry. The taste was great, but no one was a fan of the texture of the Tofu. Despite ten years of being a dedicated vegetarian, I have to admit I'm not a fan either. I just eat it because I know it's good for me. The flavors in the recipe were good though.


Asparagus Puffs became an Asparagus Napoleon, as I still was unable to find some puff pastry. Very good, I liked the sweet potato in it, it added something different and fun. We are big sweet potato fans here, but I usually roast it into "Orange Fries" or into sweet potato casserole for Thanksgiving!


I don't have a picture of the Artichoke tart, but I made the crust the same day as the watercress tarts. That left the crust too thick, but they were still delicious!
