“I joined the spice club and just wanted to share what I had made with you.

I made coconut curry Dahl today.

Delicious... and one of the highlights of the meal is that lovely hint of cardamom.” BB

“We tried the Tahcheen recipe. It turned out pretty good. I added the pomegranate seeds and pistachios to the top. We thought it was a little heavy on the rice and that it was a little dry. Next time I would make a gravy with some chicken stock, lemon juice, butter, salt and pepper and the cinnamon and cardamom I take out of the chicken. We will definitely try this again!” PR

“Those are all that is left of the big batch of those delicious cookies that melts in the mouth. A to-do again and again.” YL

“Loved this Ginger and Turmeric soup! I would use different pasta though, we didn't care for the udon noodles, too thick and long.” PR

“Mine are kind of tough.

re egg wash - unclear how and where to use. Many on line recipes brushed the pastry with egg wash - I would not do that next time. Maybe my less than crispy twists are that way due to my egg wash inside the pastries.

Also 5 cm in instructions seemed too short. Maybe inches?” LD

Tried and tweeked

“Who needs a wood stove when one has made this soup? Warms the body from the inside- out!

I had an over abundance of chicken broth, so could not justify buying more broth , but to bring it up to recipe standards, I boiled a couple of chopped up celery stalks and a couple of chopped up carrots and onion in the 4 cups of chicken broth, so it became partial-vegetable

broth. I grow hot peppers and cilantro in the summer and freeze so of course this soup gave me a chance to use 2 of my peppers and I put the cilantro directly in the soup while it was simmering. The result was incredible but mybvrersion, not for those who are feint at heart when it comes to spice -heat in their dishes! My husband chowed down on 2 servings while I opted for 3, that evening! Definitely a keeper in my recipe folder!!!” HP
