Vegan Sausage & Peppers

1 stars of rating2 stars of rating3 stars of rating4 stars of rating5 stars of rating

The sausage was great, but the broccoli rabe was tough & stringy and the Israeli couscous was SWIMMING in sauce — and therefore overcooked and mush after reheating.

Grilled Naan Pizza Margherita

More sauce would allow for more flavor since the sauce is absorbed into the flatbread when not consumed immediately upon initial preparation causing muted flavor. Not bad just room to improve.

White Truffle Mac and Cheese

The truffle flavor was fine but the Mac and cheese lacked character. it was a bland dish. Once I added fresh roasted garlic, Cajun seasoning and black pepper it was delicious.

My polenta was watery and needed to be more firm. Flavor nice though.

Noodles were way over cooked but flavor of the sauce was good! Meatballs had too much fennel but not terrible.
