I had to make a few changes due to cooking time restraints and ingredient issues (acorn for winter squash, parsnips for celeriac, crushed tomatoes for puree) I sauteed all the veggies together. But all in all I stayed fairly true to the recipee, and it was delicious. I did add a substanital amount of water because I was feeding 4 adults and 9 children, but everyone liked it and thats the important part. Thanks for sharing.

I really just love this website! I visit it practically every weekday for ideas and recipes and try to always post a review of everything I make from Zaar. The only time I don't is when I have a negative reaction to a recipe that was due to my mistake or if I have substituted so many ingredients that it wouldn't be a fair review. Thanks to all of you wonderful cooks who have made me a better cook myself!
