Ooh, I missed the paranthas... Made them last night. Can I still make comments?

You can always comment on the recipe page -- I look forward to seeing it!

Oh no. I feel like an idiot for not realizing this sooner, but I was just informed by my CA farmers market vendors that ramps and fiddleheads only grow East of the Mississippi. I got some gorgeous spring garlic and green onions, and will do my best to test this recipe with substitutions. BUT if anyone on the Eastern half of the country can do the ramp pesto with fiddleheads justice, please do!

Is the parantha still up for grabs? I'll take it if it is!

I just bought a bunch of spring onions with gorgeous round bulbs at my farmer's market that I think would be perfect grilled. So, if it's not taken yet, I would love to try The Evasive Calçot and the Promiscuous Romesco.

Thanks for the CP. I'll test the bisque, please.
about 1 year ago Vivian Henoch
too late, I see the bisque is taken.

I would love to test the ramp Makhani if it is still available! Now on to finding ramps in Denmark...

Thanks for volunteering to test this Fork & CHopsticks..If you can't find Ramps in Denmark, Just substitute 2 cloves of garlic & greens from 4-5 scallions... & add black crushed peppercorns in lieu of the pickled green ones..

I will test the pickled spring onions, they are supposed to cure for 2 weeks but i can write testing notes on the process.

I would love to test Kutabi, Azerbaijani Savory Pancakes Filled with Greens and Herbs. I am part Azerbaijani but do not know of many Azerbaijani recipes.
about 1 year ago Kukla
Thank you cookingProf for choosing this recipe! I hope you will like it and will make Kutabi many times with deferent fillings. Do not hesitate to ask me if you have any questions and also feel free to substitute some of the greens or herbs with the ones that you like or are available.

Thanks for including my Pesto recipe! I would like to test the "Green Onion Evening Galette", if it's still available.
about 1 year ago Vivian Henoch
Thanks for the nod, CC...the pesto would be my choice, but it was taken (by no surprise).
about 1 year ago Ms. T
Vivian- do you still have the time/desire to test the pesto? I can't find ramps or fiddleheads in CA :( I will do my best to still test the recipe with substitutions, but I'm afraid there are no substitutions for fiddleheads, so if you have access to the right ingredients, go right ahead!
about 1 year ago Kukla

Coincidentally I had bought the ingredients for the tart to make tomorrow for a pot luck. I'll just put my comments under the recipe comments section after em-i-lis's review is published.

Bevi, I have a stomach flu and feel dreadful. Is there any way you would peer review this tart in my place? I would be grateful but no pressure! Just let me know! Thank you!

HI em-i-lis! Of course I will do that! My oven was not working, but now it is. I will put this together for dinner tonight. Please feel better soon.
