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.
