I was scouring my favorite food blogs looking for some inspiration for the weekly menu planning around here, when I stumbled upon a dish that Meeta, over at What’s For Lunch Honey, made recently. I knew instantly that it would be a hit around our house as we both LOVE eggplant (Aubergine) and we...

I really enjoy making a nice dinner on Sundays, whether it is for a group of friends or just the two of us; it is a nice way to end a week and start a new one. We decided that it would be nice to have French food for dinner. We love French food, not...

I am going to have to conquer crackers during this year’s Eat Local Challenge — it’s one of my downfalls and I’ve never done a great job at making them (they come out tasting like wheat thins). Thanks for the inspiration.

Great Lavash Crackers and dip! Wonderful!

cheers,

Rosa

Courtney - 29/09/2008 - 5:38 pm

WOW these looks great. I love all your spices sounds to die for!

Vibi - 29/09/2008 - 5:24 am

Mmmm… that looks pretty appetizing!
All the spices you put on top, makes them look like a meal in itself!
Great participation!

coco - 28/09/2008 - 10:26 pm

Lavendar salt sounds like an interesting choice of topping. Very beautiful!

White On Rice Couple - 28/09/2008 - 3:12 pm

I can totally taste all those beautiful textures and flavors on your crackers. Crackers are my weakness and I know that I can eat a TON of these!

Mari - 28/09/2008 - 2:09 pm

I was eying my fennel seeds, but decided against them at the last minute. Next time I’ll definitely use a sprinkling of fennel seeds, your lavash looks great!

zorra - 28/09/2008 - 9:46 am

Cheers! Well done. I did the crackers at the beginning of September but almost forgot to post.

Susan at Sticky,Gooey,Creamy,Chewy - 27/09/2008 - 8:36 pm

Whew! We made it! Your lavash turned out great! I love that hummus too. The more lemon, the better. Well done!

Angela - 27/09/2008 - 4:42 pm

Seems like quite a few people got caught out with the posting date this month. Despite having to scramble to get them made, your lavash look fantastic!

Andrea - 27/09/2008 - 4:41 pm

Oh yum! The toppings sound fantastic. Great job on the challenge! I have to remember to throw some lavender buds in the salt cellar…
