"Add 1/2 tsp (2 mL) cumin along with the tomatoes and use mint instead of basil for a Middle Eastern version of this colourful vegetable medley. To toast the pine nuts, place in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes. Recipe by Johanna Burkhard, at lcbo.ca."

A lovely change of pace from cold salads! Love how quick this is to put together - and how great it tastes. Thank you Evelyn! -
Fantastic!! This was so delicious. Made this for the day after Thanksgiving (how much turkey can you eat???) Here in the permafrost, November is not within our 45 day growing season, I still used the cherry tomatoes from the store. I don't know where they come from, but it was still yummy. Thanks Evelyn!! -
This is a great side dish for this time of year. It's colorful, easy, tasty, and quick. We served it alongside a veggie chicken patty on a bun with fixins. -
I was looking for a recipe to use cherry tomatoes from my garden that I currently have a surplus of. This was a easy and delicious side dish that fit the bill. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great. Thank you for a yummy summer dish! I will definitely make this again

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
