Well, it's down to the final hour {erm few days} of testing for Joy's cookbook, and consequently I've been doing a LOT of testing. On Tuesday evening, I will be finished testing for the book, and I will begin anxiously awaiting its arrival on the market. :D I thought I'd share a few of my most recent testing adventures.
Let's start with this morning...Monfongo w/ Cilantro Lime Gremolata
This dish was somewhat time-consuming, but really yummy and really fun to make. It's basically fried mashed plantain "cups" filled with roasted vegetables and topped with a garlicly gremolata.
Chocolate Chai Cookies were spicey and chocolately, chewy and downright delicious!
Last night I tried out her Sweet Rice Cake. It's creamy and sweet, and perfectly paired with mango and baby scoops of Salt Lime Sorbet:
Lunch yesterday was a veritable Joy feast! We had...
Mediterranean Rolls {These rolls paired lemon-tahini rice with cucumber, mushroom, and onion, and were all wrapped up in grape leaves. The sauce was a silk tomato balsamic syrup.}
Roasted Brussels Sprouts were the perfect side, made sweet and tasty with their accompanying grapes.
To finish it off, we had sweet and sticky Individual Toffee Puddings. They soaked up the toffee and were melt-in-your-mouth delicious:
I'll be back later, with pictures of my adventure of Orange Pepper Seitan w/ Quinoa Polenta and Black Bean Sauce, as well as sweet grapefruit sorbet with hemp seed.
