Better than Montreal! Tripled the nooch (can never have too much nooch). Quadrupled the garlic. Replaced 1/2 the sunflower seeds with organic raw cashews. 86'ed the water all together ( there is plenty of natural liquid from the veggies}. Oh yeah, I added a handful of Porcini mushrooms. Let me not forget the tablespoonish of truffle powder I threw in there either. Everything else was almost according to this recipe. The results.... The brilliant TRUTH!

I just made this last night for my SO and I. It was wonderful! We both loved all the wonderful flavors. My variations were fresh basil instead of dried, 2 cloves of garlic, didn't use savory, added more sage. Also, I wanted to be sure I got the full flavor from my herbs abnd garlic, so I sauteed them in part of the oil before adding to the mixture. When it was all baked, it reminded us of a veggie stuffing. Because size varies on the veggies your using, I would only add as much water as needed. I used the full 1 1/2 cups and wish that I would have only used 1 cup, so I would have a thicker texture. We served this with wild and brown rice along with tofu and veggie gravy. Best dinner I've had in a long time!

Very delicious. I served mine with roasted cauliflower and potato covered in olive oil and crushed garlic. Yum! I did make a few changes: Barley flour instead of wheat, sunflower oil instead of canola, celeriac instead of celery and I didn't have any savoury or mustard powder, but still turned out fab.

Geema, this is fantastic! I followed the directions exactly, except I added about 3 small cloves of garlic instead of just one and forgot the lemon juice (oops!). Oh, I also didn't peel the potato- I never do. I figure why throw out the most/only nutritious part of them? Wonderful flavor and texture. It's actually surprisingly easy because you can just throw everything in the food processor and let that do all the work for you. The nutritional yeast adds a great very subtle cheesy flavor. It sort of reminds me of hummus, but not quite. A very pretty dish, actually. We've tried it warm, cold and at room temperature and all are absolutely delicious. This does make a lot though, I would agree with the other reviewer in saying that it probably makes more like 3-4 cups rather than two. Excellent recipe. I would defintely make this again. The recipe worked exactly as stated.

<p>Life often interupts our comfortable routines in very unexpected ways and in the past three years I've certainly faced some challenges. As a health nut who ate mostly vegetarian I was beyond shocked to discover that I was diabetic. <img title=Yell src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-yell.gif border=0 alt=Yell /> I shouted and rebelled and cried. But the good news is that I can control my glucose levels simply by eating very low carb. What a complete turn around it was to pass up all my high carb vegetarian foods like grains, and veggies and embrace meat! <img title=Surprised src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-surprised.gif border=0 alt=Surprised /> I've adjusted to this limited diet and thanks to Zaar can eat a nice variety of healthful meals.</p>
<p> The next challenge was a freakish fall I took while in New York with my daughter that left me paralyzed and in much pain. I thank God that I am so much better today after more than two years recovery, with total mobility and just some minor pain in my arms and hands. Cooking and communicating here was not really on my priority list. But, I am back in action and ready to cook, take photos, and enjoy this wonderful community of friends.<img title=Laughing src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-laughing.gif border=0 alt=Laughing /></p>
<p>My husband and I continue to enjoy our grandchildren and being closely involved with their day to day activities. I am also the proud owner of a sweet grey and white cat who came to my door as a little kitten 6 months ago. Her name is Bonny and you can read her story here: <a href=http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive/ps/3/g7hopubcqxji7ub0y6fg target=_blank>http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive/ps/3/g7hopubcqxji7ub0y6fg</a>.</p>
