Homemade sourdough bread is ok, but generally you want to be getting whole grains in your diet as they provide more fiber and keep your blood sugra stable. You will still get the benefit of the diet as there are many beneficial components, but whole grains are important.

Enjoy your website and cookbook. However, when printing, it wastes an ENORMOROUS amount of paper of paper. Ads make the text UNREADABLE. PLEASE FIX.

Very, Very disappointing. E.M.

Thank you for your message Amy. The recipe ingredients regarding the water note that you add about 2 cups of water (not 4) or enough water to the pot that barely covers the zucchini. Also zucchini shrinks when you saute it, since it wasn’t sauteed it was more bulky and it released more liquids.

My family and I are enjoying your recipes from your book…but got a bit confused in the Neopolitan Pasta with Zucchini. I’ll admit, I missed the step to sautee the zucchini for 3 minutes. Oops! Everything else I followed to the letter. I even weighed the zucchini. The problem I think was first our pot. My idea of a medium pot may be different from yours. I had to transfer to a “large” pot in order to make room for all the ingredients + the 4 cups of water. It took much longer (at least 10 more minutes ) to cook in order to reduce the copious amounts of water (+ the additional water already from the zucchini). I even had to bring up to a low boil to try and reduce the water. I eventually called it quits so the pasta didn’t get too soggy. I added the 2 tbsp of cheese to the whole thing…but I had to use a slotted spoon to divide out into the bowls because of all the water that remained, which means I probably lost a lot of the flavorful oil and onions and cheese. I did my best to salvage what just looked like zucchini soup. It tasted okay but looked nothing like your pic in the book. I guess I was just a bit confused with the amount of water and whether or not all that water had to reduce down before serving. After we all finished, I noticed the amount that was left in the pot was now thick. *sigh*. So should I have let it sit for a few minutes once off the heat? Just scratching my head on this one. Everything else I’ve made has been very good. In fact my son requested the Greek Chicken with potatoes for his birthday.

Do you know the dish maqlouba, also written as maqluba or maqloubeh? Do you know a recipe with chicken and eggplant?
I would love to hear from you.
