    Quinoa-Mushroom Cakes w Sriracha Aioli – p. 100 – Delicious! Obviously it’s the eggs that act as a binding agent but there really isn’t that much egg relative to the other ingredients. I believe this led to the only issue I had with this recipe. While the cakes emerged from the oven in good form, it only took one pass of the fork to cause the portion of quinoa to fall apart. I suspect this is why the author suggests that the Sriracha aioli be served atop. The earthiness of the quinoa and mushrooms were balanced by the sweetness of the onion and carrot. We all agreed that the sauce worked really well with the dish and I especially liked the textural contrast the walnuts brought to the mix. They also echoed the nuttiness of the quinoa. I’d make these again but I don’t think they’re idea for work lunches as I’d worry about how well they’d travel given their propensity to break apart. Btw, I used lime juice vs lemon.

    Baked Oatmeal - p. 22 - Terrific! I loved the variety of ingredients it included and wish I’d been able to find chia seeds at the supermarket as I’m always happy to add them to our meals. I used flax seeds instead and though the author suggests that ground flax seeds be used, mine were whole and the dish didn’t seem to suffer for it. I opted just to top w some cinnamon-flavoured maple sugar. FYI, I used muffin tin liners and gave them a quick spritz w butter-flavoured cooking spray.The finished oatmeal cakes were a delight. Sweetened only by the fruit and the dusting of sugar atop they were definitely not overly sweet like so many oatmeal breakfast breads or muffins. The cakes are quite dense and filling. I loved the variety of textures in the dish was surprised about how moist they were. The egg mixture provides a custardy flavour and textural element to the dish, somewhat l like that in a bread pudding. Photos here:http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/876223#7720248

    Baked Oatmeal, pg. 22. Made these hoping for portable, filling breakfast/snacks. They did not disappoint! Very satisfying, I ate one plain, but of course maple syrup would be good drizzled on top as suggested. Substitutions I made: dried cranberries for raisins; coconut flour for the chia flour; chia gel for half the milk (I used soy).

    Pork Cakes with(out) Apple-Plum Chutney – p. 88 Keen to try a recipe and without a prune in sight, I opted to forge ahead without making the chutney. So glad I did as we loved this dish! I did make a couple of changes. I went with chopped Thai bird chilies instead of the jalapeno and while the recipe suggests a yield of 12 pork cakes, I had 10 since I feared that portioning the meat any smaller would just entice folks to eat more. As it was mr bc ended up eating 3! Since I didn’t have the chutney I decided to glaze the tops of these cakes w some sweet Thai chili garlic sauce. This turned out to be a terrific option and everyone just loved these little meat cakes. What really impressed me was how flavourful and juicy they were. Everyone raved about them and next time I’ll definitely make a double batch so we have leftovers for weekday breakfasts or lunches. This was a big hit!! Can’t wait to try another recipe!

    This book hit my radar when i was searching for innovative"meals-to-go" recipes online. Dishes such as Quinoa Mushrooms Cakes with Sriracha Aiol, Swiss Chard Sweet Potato Gratin, Tomato-Egg Tartlettes, Eggplant Parmesan & Fish Tacos are all baked in muffin tins to produce the perfect, portable, personal-sized meals. I just loved this idea and can't wait to get cooking.
