- Ben: My mother and Doug gave me "Lord Krishna's Cuisine" for Christmas, so we decided to try out some of the recipes. The potato patties were excellent, though perhaps too soft to work well as veggie burgers. I also need to work on my frying technique, to avoid making such a mess and avoid burning myself! The spinach recipe was outstanding -- rich and flavorful. We paired these recipes with burgers (for the carnivorous crowd) and a nice soup recipe from one of my mother's cookbooks.

- Roasted Vegetables, Claire's Corner Copia Cookbook p. 197 (from the Harman cookbook collection)
- Ben: Lots of garlic fans here, so we thought this recipe would get a good reception. The roasted vegetables made a filling and flavorful accompaniment.
