  1. This tasted pretty good but would NOT stay together. I couldn't even flip them in the oven, they totally crumbled. I followed the recipe exactly so not sure where I went wrong. I crumbled up the leftovers and will use them on top of a salad or something...
     
  2. Reviewed for PAC Spring '08: I've never had a falafel before but even though I had nothing to compare it to, I really liked it. The flavors were great, especially the fresh cilantro and the ground cumin. They were a little dry but still delicious. The tahini sauce wasn't my favorite so I think next time I make these, I'll try something different, maybe a cucumber yogurt sauce. Also, I had this like a salad (without the pita) due to a gluten allergy, but I still enjoyed it. Yum! Thank you for posting!

I'm a mother who loves to cook! When I'm able to steal away a few minutes to make up a meal for my family i'm in heaven. Unlike others cooking is relaxing and fun for me. The dishes..ahh who likes doing those, but it's always worth cleaning them for what meal I created.
