Pomelo Salad from Ottolenghi's Plenty More. This guy is a genius with flavors, and this recipe ties a whole host of ingredients together around the pomelo, which is like a grapefruit but unique. We give this an enthusiastic 5?

French Onion Mini Meatloaves from Food and Wine. This might sound a little gimmicky, but the caramelized onions and melted gruyere really take the humble meatloaf up a notch. We really looked forward to the leftovers. This gets a 5!

I neglected to take a photo of the Cucumber Pomegranate Salad from NYT Cooking, which is unfortunate as it is a colorful dish. And really tasty. Pomegranate plays off the cucumber and onion, and the mint and lime juice tie it all together. We give this a 5.

Spicy Paprika Chicken and Potato Stew from NYT Cooking. We enjoyed this dish, which has a nice amount of heat from the hot paprika. It seemed to have a pretty uniform flavor throughout, without much variation from bite to bite, so we give it a 3.

Missed taking a photo of Masala Chickpeas with Tofu and Blistered Tomatoes from NYT Cooking. We liked the rich India flavors in this dish, and thought it could use even more masala than it called for. We give this a 4.

Quinoa Salad with Chicken, Almonds and Avocado from NYT Cooking. A nice healthy salad, with a pretty standard dressing. Enjoyable, nothing unusual. We give this a 3.
