How did Lin like tempeh? I know she isn't fond of tofu, just wondering
how the tempeh went over? I ***love*** tofu, but haven't found a dish
in which I really like tempeh. Admittedly, I've only had it maybe 4-6
times though. I figure that's more than enough for a verdict!

Given that many of us wouldn't have fig syrup in our pantries, how do
you think pomegranate molasses would work?? Or perhaps saffron syrup (if
a restrained hand is used)? I only happen to have saffron syrup because
the sound of it intrigued me whilst at The Spanish Table, so I bought it
:-)))

Yes, that pretty much sums up my feelings about tempeh too. Just not
worth it, to me.

The millet and kale dishes sound very nice indeed!
