    Greek Pasta Salad: Cheeselovers Cookbook Review

    This month we are reviewing a cookbook where every single recipe includes CHEESE!

    Zoe’s Take:
    8/10

    The pasta salad is really good. I definitely recommend using tri-colored rotini because it really adds that something extra. I do wish there had been more seasonings, I pretty much found the dressing overly oily. But otherwise, this is a very tasty pasta salad.

    Eric’s Take:
    8/10

    This pasta salad was very good, filled with classic greek flavor. I’m a big fan of dill, but this recipe could have done without. I agree with Zoe that some other herbs may have brought this to life a bit more. My major complaint was that the proportions in the dressing seemed off. I too felt there was too much oil. I had extra pasta though, and added it in to balance out. This was definitely a solid start to a cookbook I have high hopes for!

    Cookbook Review: Soframiz

    This month, we are reviewing a fantastic cookbook that I actually use on a regular basis. Soframiz is a book full of vibrant Middle Eastern recipes from the Sofra Bakery & Cafe in Boston. We’re so excited to review this cookbook and to show you some amazing food.

    Our first review is Flower Pogaca Rolls. They are a common breakfast item in Turkey. While not usually made in the style of roses or flowers, these rolls are just as good formed as a regular roll.

    Zoe’s Take:
    10/10
    I might be obsessed with these rolls. I have a deep love of feta cheese, but also of bread and the soft buttery texture of the rolls, combined with the salty feta is absolute perfection in my mind. I have nothing bad to say because there is nothing bad about them.

    Eric’s Take:
    9.5/10
    I really loved these rolls. The recipe was easy to follow, the ingredients were easy to find and work with. This was by far my most successful bake on a bread, which makes me believe they’re “fool-proof.” The bread was soft and flakey, and remained so for about two days. This was a big surprise as the recipe called for no butter and only one egg. The only reason I dropped the recipe a half point is that there was nothing in the cheese mixture to cut the saltiness from the feta. Otherwise this was perfect!
