Baked Sweet Potato Falafel

I feel like I'm cheating because I took this photo on June 3rd last year. But I haven't cooked anything of note the past few days and I still felt like posting.

This baked sweet potato falafel recipe was posted on 101 Cookbooks but is originally from the Leon's cookbook (which I ordered from the library, probably on June 3rd last year, and it still isn't here yet.. sigh). I'm actually perturbed that I haven't made these falafels again. They were really tasty, plus simple to make.

I think I paired it with kale and the tahini sauce from Vegan with a Vengeance. And the apricot wheat beer from St. Ambroise is definitely identifiable. Mmm!

Armenian Apricot Soup

I found this apricot and lentil soup recipe at 101 Cookbooks but it originates from a book called The Soup Peddler's Slow & Difficult Soups. The slowness and difficulty refers to the fact that the soup peddler delivers all his homemade soups by bike - not the complexity of the recipes.

I enjoyed the soup because it's a departure from other lentils soups that I've tried. Many lentil soups combine the earthy flavour of lentils with other earthy flavours. The sweet and fruity tastes of apricots is different and works well.

You should try Armenian Apricot soup too.
