This week's Wednesday with Donna Hay recipe is Green Curry Chicken with Sweet Potato, chosen by me from Off the Shelf.My biggest problem with this one is that when I went to use my green curry paste, it had dried out - so I had to use curry powder instead. That is why my curry is yellow rather than green. Oh well. I also sliced my chicken breasts rather than just have a chunk on the plate, like the recipe stated.This curry tasted just fine, but it didn't wow me. I get it though - Off the Shelf is meant to be tasty meals made with ingredients "off the shelf", so it's not meant to be fancy or the best thing you have ever tasted.To see what Kayte, Margaret, Chaya and Sarah thought of this dish, visit their websites.
This is a fabulous French Friday with Dorie. It's not because of the weather in Melbourne today - after the most glorious week of warm weather we've had in ages, it turned today, and it is rainy and cold and windy. No, it's because I have been on leave this week, spending time with my family who are visiting from Queensland. It has been a wonderful week and I am sad that it has drawn to a close so quickly.For FFwD this week, we had to make Tzatziki. I was not excited about this, as I have only tasted commercially made tzatziki that is sour and horrible.However, this tzatziki was a revelation - it was creamy and smooth and very tasty with crackers. I have a whole new perspective on tzatziki. I substituted the dill for chives and left out the mint - I really don't think it mattered.To see what the other Doristas/Doristos thought of this dish, visit the LYL section of the FFwD website.
