    Reviewed Celery With Tomatoes, Olives and Capers

    "This was great. Pulled to use up excess celery and took advantage of other reviewers suggestions and served over polenta with some goat cheese. An easy and healthful dinner. BF loved it too. The only thing I did differently was to use dried basil because BF doesn't like the taste of fresh, and used about two cups diced tomato (one 15 1/2 ounze ..."

    Reviewed Falafel

    "Never thought I'd make a falafel recipe because I don't have a deep fat fryer and don't like to eat high fat foods. So I read the reviews and decided to make this by cooking it at 400F for 20 minutes. It turned out terrific! It browned very nicely. Since I didn't have a food processor, I used my blender and blended it in batches. It wasn't the..."

    Reviewed Egyptian Red Lentil Soup

    "Excellent soup! I didn't have tumeric and added 2 1/2 teaspoons cumin instead. It could have used 3 teaspoons cumin and all of the tumeric as far as I was concerned. I kept the garlic cloves whole and added 1 can diced tomatoes and some carrots to get some vitamins A and C in there. Omitted the cilantro as it was expensive and not my BF's favor..."

    Reviewed P. F. Chang's Chicken Lettuce Wraps

    "Never ate at P.F. Chang's so I have nothing to compare this with. Also, I only made the special sauce and stir fry sauce to stir fry some vegetarian chicken I bought for chicken wraps. So based on the sauces alone this was a 5 star recipe. I kept the leftover sauce and will use it on something else. Note I used real garlic since I didn't have a..."

    Reviewed German Potato Salad

    "Excellent recipe. I made it with veggie bacon since we are vegetarians. Mine turned out a little too watery, because I tried to make 2/3 the recipe and didn't get the liquid measurements exactly right. I love the fact that it's not overly caloric because there's no oil. I cut back a bit on the sugar and used half regular and half Splenda. My B..."

    Shared Recipe Pasta With Green Puttanesca

    "Easy weeknight recipe, and delicious too. Healthier if you use less olive oil. If you prefer, use the entire 1/2 cup the recipe recommends. I used regular garlic and Cerignola olives. I omitted the anchovies because we are vegetarians. If you would like to use them, add 10 anchovy fillets with the capers. From Melissa Clarke in the NY Times."

    About Me

    Clockwise from upper left, my dear friends Cranberry, Quincy, Kumquat and Kiwi. All of our cats were born in the wild and adopted by us.

    Zaar Chefs I have met so far: Elmotoo, justcallmeToni, ~Rita~, Midwest Maven, Bird&Buddha (both of them) and most recently, Ms*Bindy from upstate New York:) Wonderful, sweet, friendly people and great chefs!

    Most relevant thing to mention here is that I am a vegetarian. To put vegetables and other things not meat or fish on the table I work as an actuary (in my case anyway, a combination of statistician, number-cruncher and/or programmer). For fun I like to travel. Just came back from Namibia, a peaceful democracy in Africa with lots of animals! Got some terrific pictures of lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, rhinocerous, hyenas, all kinds of antelopes, giraffes and zebras. Namibia is the second most sparsely populated country per square mile, just behind Mongolia. Spectacular natural scenery (Canada and Alaska are really beautiful, Patagonia in Chile is sublime, Iceland is unique) has been my latest passion as far as travel destinations but I have seen quite a few big cities too (Paris, Berlin, London and Madrid to name a few). On my bulletin board at work I keep a list of every country I've visited (other than the U.S. of course). So far I've made it to five continents: Europe, Africa, South America, Asia and North America of course. I've got only two other continents to conquer:) I don't usually have difficulty finding vegetarian dishes here in the U.S. or overseas, but I am not a fanatic who will interrogate the chef about every ingredient either!

    I have no kids, just cats, Kumquat, Cranberry, and more recently Quincy and Kiwi. They are purebreds, of the breed alley caticus (okay, American shorthair I guess). Our cats are not vegetarians, though my boyfriend (significant other, long-term partner, whatever) is. I am a friend of all animals both tamed and wild. In addition I am a freethinker and my boyfriend studies philosophy. Either way, we get along pretty well.

    Pet peeve? Okay, I don't like public scenes, especially parents yelling at their children, lovers' spats, etc. If it must be done please do it in private:D

    Favorite Foods

    My favorite junk food is pizza (plain or veggie, but it has to be made well). Will eat and enjoy everything vegetarian except mushrooms (fungus, yuck). Artichokes and tomatoes (all types such as sun-dried, fresh and canned, including paste and sauce) are among my favorite vegetables. Garbanzos are my favorite beans. I like cheese, nuts and olives too but I try to limit my intake of high fat foods. Have been attempting a vegan diet as of late, but a strict vegan diet has so far remained elusive. Don't have much of a sweet tooth; I'm interested in healthful recipes (usually) from a variety of regions. I make cookies from time to time, but mainly for my coworkers. My feeling is too many people pay too much attention to cooking meat and don't realize how delicious the variety of starches and vegetables in their diets can be:) After having been through all four Zaar World Tours, I've decided that Moroccan cuisine is my most favorite. No surprise, it has lots of veggies:D I've had the opportunity to eat genuine Moroccan cuisine when I was in Morocco.

    My rating system is based on my own opinion, not the opinion of the person I feed (needless to say my BF mostly). This is in part to encourage him to submit his own reviews, particularly when he makes recipes and doesn't review them:( To protect his privacy I won't tell you his chef name. So far he has reviewed three of my recipes, objectively I hope:)

    I almost never make a recipe as it's written. Please don't let this bother you (if it does) because I am altering the recipes for my and my BF's taste and, therefore, my review will be better! I rarely rate a recipe poorly because I rate it as I've made it. I also always include the changes I've made in my review.
