I have a post coming up (once I've got this manuscript all finished), about how to make some Indian food short-cuts. Not entirely authentic, but totally delicious! btw - I think you need a blog to show us all of your fabulous-sounding Indian dishes (and other cooking delights)!Dreenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16551890320761504899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19150019.post-37804305109042209482007-04-24T12:44:00.000-07:002007-04-24T12:44:00.000-07:00I forgot to add in my email how my recent cooking ...I forgot to add in my email how my recent cooking has been indian food and all the ways you can slowcook lentils. MMM. We, Vandana and I, had a party two weekends ago and had everything vegan but appealable to everyone. Meaning nothing so outlandish that people would be afraid to eat it. Just great indian food. Everyone loved it! Oh and how about sagg. YUMM. Spinach and mustard greens are perfect for each other.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19150019.post-31450332384052333462007-04-24T12:27:00.000-07:002007-04-24T12:27:00.000-07:00Oh my goodness, this looks so delicious.

You are SUCH a good friend to cook...Hiya Michelle. You are SUCH a good friend to cook up soups for your new mama girlfriends! Both those soups freeze very, very well. For the most part, I find that pureed soups, or bean soups freeze quite well. Soups with pastas don't fare the best (pastas get too mushy and fall apart), and even some soups with more delicate grains (quinoa/rice) can get a touch mushy. Also, soups with greens, sometimes the greens get overcooked and aren't as nice as when first made. Other soups get better with freezing, like chilis. Most of the soups in Vive freeze well, esp those two and Kamut Bean Stew and Chipotle Corn Black Bean. From TEV, both the Pureed Squash soup and Parsnip soup are excellent to freeze, and also Chickpea Mash Stew. Sometimes spicier foods are tricky with new moms, so I also wouldn't mind sharing a couple of my new soup recipes with you that aren't spicy (the 3-bean curry soup is spicy, and also the black bean is a touch spicy). Just e-mail me. :)Dreenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16551890320761504899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19150019.post-42006662981538275962007-04-19T07:46:00.000-07:002007-04-19T07:46:00.000-07:00hey dreena, was wondering if you think your 3 Bean...hey dreena, was wondering if you think your 3 Bean Tomato Curry Soup and your Earthy Lentil Soup would freeze well? any other good freezing soups? i have yet another whole whack of post partum meals to make for friends!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02572397449405195846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19150019.post-11199750717725498502007-04-18T06:47:00.000-07:002007-04-18T06:47:00.000-07:00Hey Vixen!

The hummus is always surprising for people because of the sweet/smoky/nutty combo. I'm actually looking forward to cooking up some of my 'older' recipes again - as well as playing with some other cookbooks. :)<BR/><BR/>Hiya Laura, that's nice to hear, knowing that my blog visitors are hangin' in there through my 'down time'! I'm delighted you liked those lentil dishes... I do luv my lentils!<BR/><BR/>Thanks Jenny.<BR/><BR/>Aimee, you're a doll. Thank you for that feedback, and also again for supporting us. I don't think I watched it all in one sitting! I hope the recipes come in handy for you now for weekly meals. Now, get back to your taxes!<BR/><BR/>Hey Michelle! Thanks for that, the dvd spots were fun to do! It would be cool to meet you too, and I hope the launch party is a success and lots of fun.<BR/><BR/>Thank you Teresa. Those lentils are very earthy and hearty, I agree. Very satisfying. I hope you like the pesto just as much when you try it out - you'll have to let me know!<BR/><BR/>Hi Erica, oh, now you've impressed mashed potatoes in my mind.

I've been buying those french lentils in bulk at my co-op and I've used them in your Earthy Lentil Soup (the most amazing cooking smell ever!). I like them because they seem to be very hearty. Oh and I'm so excited to try the sun-dried tomato pesto- I actually just bought some sun-dried tomatoes yesterday. It must be a sign. Congrats on the DVD and good luck with the rest of the cookbook stuff!<BR/><BR/>-TeresaTeresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17753640845806353841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19150019.post-80091108785060445202007-04-15T16:01:00.000-07:002007-04-15T16:01:00.000-07:00we wish you could be here, dreena! i do hope to me...we wish you could be here, dreena! i do hope to meet you someday soon. your "performance" on the DVD is great. i love it! <BR/>thanks so much for your great food,<BR/>michellemama herbivorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09325463429829108524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19150019.post-68769216198361006442007-04-15T12:17:00.000-07:002007-04-15T12:17:00.000-07:00I received the new DVD yesterday and watched it al...I received the new DVD yesterday and watched it all in one sitting (even though I should have been finishing my taxes!)
