ISO: non old-school sweet potato dish
- toodie jane Nov 7, 2008 09:48 AM
IOW, no pineapple/marshmallows/brownsugar.
Although most of us dining will be adventurous, there will be some octagenarians who will want something closer to traditional than far-out, so looking for something that will be fun to eat, but not wild. Make any sense?
Don't really have the time to develop my own take, hoping for some recipes you might have used/developed. I've done a search here but haven't found anything that blows my skirt up, but I'm standing over the grate, hoping....
I've used this recipe for Ruth's Chris sweet potatoes before and thought it was really good, easy to make, and doesn't need to be in the oven or broiler at the last minute.
My family demands that I bring sweet potato casserole to every holiday event... or that I send one even if I'm not coming.
Whip together roasted sweet potatoes, two eggs, and splash vanilla until fluffy; spread into a casserole. Top with a streusal of pecans, soft butter, brown sugar, a few tablespoons flour, and tsp. cinnamon.
Because the base isn't sweetened it's still a real vegetable , and the topping is classy and sweet without being sickly- It also looks really lovely on the table and seems to appeal to all ages.
I've posted this many times, but this sweet potato recipe is a crowd pleaser, and my 60+ uncle says it is something like my grandmother would have made. But i don't think of it as "old-school." It just tastes really fresh and good, and the brightness of the oj and apples is great with the mellow potatoes.
Boil sweet potatoes, remove skins, cut into "coins." Liine up coins in baking dish, alternating with cored granny smith apple slices (I slice them into rounds), kinda like knocked over dominos. Mix a cup or so of orange juice with 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1 tsp or so of cinnamon. Pour over potatoes and apples. Dot with butter and bake for 25-30 at 350. Seriously delicious.
Cube some sweet potatoes, boil for 5 minutes and drain. In a seperate pan, preferably non-stick, combine some fresh grated ginger and few cloves of minced garlic with a few tablespoons of olive oil to cover the bottom, 2 t. fennel seeds, 1/2 t. tumeric, 1/8 t. cayenne and 1/2 t. salt. Start heating the oil, ginger, garlic mixture add potatoes and fry for about 1/2 hour or so, turning every once and again until the potatoes are fully cooked and browned. Can be made ahead and warms up great!
I just cut em into 1" chunks and toss with olive oil and PLENTY of cumin, ground coriander, salt and cayenne pepper, and roast them in the oven till brown and tender. SO GOOD! They could be parboiled first to roast quicker.
Last year friends of mine made a butternut squash casserole. I have the basic ingredients, but tweek to your liking. Smash cooked squash or sweet potatoes, season with lots of butter, S&P, etc. Put 1/2 the mixture in a casserole, place a layer of brie, cover with remaining squash/ sweet potato. Top with sliced almonds, bake until golden and bubbly. It was absolutely delish!
Sweet-potato souffle. I made individual ones last year (very small T-giving crowd, though), but you can make a single bigger souffle. It's a savory dish with gruyere and parmesan cheese, in addition to the sweet potato. A little ginger, allspice, and freshly grated nutmeg really sets this dish off. The recipe is from the Williams-Sonoma Autumn book. Even sweet potato haters like my parents like this!
I make sweet potato cookies and from ExtraVeganZa cookbook sweet potato pecan bread. Are you looking specifically for a side dish?
I made one either last year or year before that was awesome. Scalloped Sweet Potato with a creamy lemon/ginger sauce. This looks like it, can't find my recipe:
Serve sweet potato biscuits! They're my new favorite sweet potato recipe. http://ayankeeinasouthernkitchen.com/...
I had a lot of people over for the day after Thanksgiving and made a hash of sweet potato and other root vegetables including rutabaga. Diced them all individually and then mixed them together and finished in the oven.
Here is a really good non-traditional sweet potato recipe that was posted here several years ago by Nyleve. She titled the thread "Best Sweet Potato Dish Ever in History," a pretty accurate description, I thought, after I tried it. And it's very easy to make.
re: Sam D.
Thanks all for responding--so many good ideas!
howchow and Sam D--will try out your suggestions. Plenty of time for research before Tday. I think I'll do two casseroles ahead to warm up, as the stove will be in action. A spicier one for the Kids and a more classic one for the Folks.
Scubadoo--have done something like this with apples mixed in--great with pork!
fallingup--was wanting to try this, do you just add a cup or so of mashed SP to a basic biscuit recipe? add more milk?
re: toodie jane
I posted a link to a good recipe. There is also one on the Chow recipes section that I've looked at but haven't used. Yes, you do just use a basic biscuit recipe...combine flour, baking powder, salt, and cold butter, then add in some mashed sweet potato mixed with milk or buttermilk, and bake.
I make whipped sweet potatoes with honey and chopped cashews on top. It's sweet enough to be 'thanksgiving sweet potatoes' but not super-sugary so that my husband's diabetic grandmother can enjoy a little bit too.
re: Vetter
Years ago when Costco was Price Club, they had a newsletter and printed a recipe from a cookbook featuring recipes using spirits. Can't remember the name. But the recipe in the newsletter was Kuhlua Candid Yams. If you are serving candid yams for Thanksgiving, you can't go wrong with adding Kuhlua. The flavors are wonderful. You cook sugar, butter, and Kuhlua in a skillet for 1 minute. (1/4 cup each butter and Kuhlua and 1/3 cup brown sugar.) Then you add cooked sliced yams and cook until slightly caramelized. As the number of my Thanksgiving guests increased, I tried to modify the recipe to cook in the oven but it is much better cooked in the skillet. So this year I am going to try one of the recipes listed here.
re: mfrances
OK, I came to post this as new recipe, but found this thread instead.
We just had this, and it was fantastic. So we had our T-day cooking late due to stuff happeing, and cooked up a turkey hindquarter, 1 baking potato, and 1/2 sweet potato.
SO peeled and cubed the sweet potato and put it in a casserole dish with unpeeled cubed baking potato. I misted with vegetable oil, sprinkled with salt and pepper. Then I picked rosemary and sage from the garden, threw in a bunch of thyme leaves, rinsed them and whirled them up in the mini food processor. I tossed a few tablespoons of that in with the 'taters and mixed it all up. Threw it in the oven at 375 for 40 minutes or so.
Soooooo yummy!!!!!
re: tracylee
Love sage or basil with sweet potatoes! I've done a mixed roasted root veg dish sort of like this, added apples and preserved ginger too. Nothing like fresh herbs.
re: toodie jane
Especially fresh herbs picked in the fading light of a flashlight with old batteries, held by my boyfriend!

Arden Butler, the "potato man," is getting ready to round up the club members and harvest about 3000 potatoes this week. Here he points out a healthy stand of Blue Lake green beans.
One of the original members of the Horseshoe Bay garden club, Tom Jones, helped guide the organization for some 22 years.

Just because I'm a pastor, that doesn't mean I don't continually learn things about God. It's a daily process for everyone. Here are some things that I have learned or am learning about our Heavenly Father:
Sometimes God opens doors simply to show me that He can. I've seen it many times. God seemed to provide an opportunity, only to later make it clear that's not the right one for this time. It's always though an encouragement than when He is ready He can and will make a way.
God's plan for my life is always bigger than mine. Every. Single. Time. I have underestimated Him all my life. You'd think I'd learn.
I've been called a lot of things in my life but I never thought I'd be called the "Anti-Fat Pastor." Not me, the one who for years wouldn't go to bed until I'd eaten my nightly giant bowl of ice cream as I sat in my La-Z-Boy™ recliner.
"The Anti-Fat Pastor," who me? The one who weighed in at 340 pounds and suffered with high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes? Wow! Has my life changed!
Someone once said a journey begins with the first step. My journey began with a prayer to God for guidance with my weight and health issues. My first step was the decision to live better once my heart was impressed with a passage from the scriptures that would inspire me to change.
Have you ever thought about the fact that the biggest giant David ever faced was not on the battlefield but actually the one in the mirror? In an idle, unguarded moment, the "man after God's own heart" left his spiritual mindset to pursue "forbidden fruit"–if but for a fleeting moment. That's all it took. The luster of his kingdom would be forever tarnished. David's biographers have used different phrases to describe the consequences of the king's fatal attraction to Bathsheba:
In my past few blogs, I've talked about conflict—why people avoid it and why it's better to lean into it.
One thing I've learned about working with teams of people: When two or more are gathered, there will be conflict!
Why? Because we all have our opinions about how things should be, and we're rather attached to our opinions. Conflict is a reality of leadership. I've been all over the map on how to lead through conflict, from completely avoiding it to plowing through it and leaving a body count behind. Let me tell you, neither approach works out well.
Pastors, we tend to share a lot throughout the year. Some of you are preparing two or three messages and presentations every week. When you repeat that process 52 times in a year, life gets exhausting. How do you stay motivated to keep going?
Let me share with you how I've managed to motivate myself. Here are 17 things you can do to keep yourself motivated.
1. Put your plans on paper. Write out what you want to accomplish. Spell it out. Dawson Trotman said, "Thoughts disentangle themselves when they pass through the lips and the fingertips." If I can say it and I can write it down, then it's clear. If I haven't written it down, then it's vague.
Every week it seems there is another scandal breaking out with a high-profile person, whether in politics, sports, media or the church. A person could have done much good their whole life but with one act of passion destroy everything they have built.
Proverbs 22:1 teaches us that a good name is worth more than riches. One of the things I have found out through the years is that a person's name and reputation are their greatest capital in regard to opening doors and having influence in the world; this is a quality people look for even more than gifts, talents or leading a successful enterprise or ministry. This is because people know success built upon gifts and talents and not on the foundation of character and integrity will not last in the long run. All of us are tempted to fall and have the capacity to fail because of our sin nature.

This school is not for everybody! High teacher turnover and majority of teaching staff is under trained and very much behind the times in dealing with the kids and issues of today such as bullying. We found it a very bad environment, especially for boys. There was little positive reinforcement and all discipline and teaching styles are punishment based. Switched to public and found the education was behind at this school in every subject. We found much better resources and kinder, highly trained teachers in public. Saving tuition for college! I have thanked God every day that I pulled my kids from this school. 2012
Wow - I am very impressed with the level of academic success that Saint Jerome students have achieved! The curriculum is challenging (which is what I wanted for my children). The students' hard work pays off with acceptances to the high schools of their choice and impressive standardized test results. My daughter is in the 6th grade and we are very happy with all that she has accomplished this year. SJS knows how to challenge a student to be the best that he/she can be - academically and personally.
So far so good for my grand son! Like the administration, not thrilled w/the uniforms. The boys should not have to wear those horribly hot vests all year long, there is no air conditioning - that's not right.
My son is a student in K2 at St Jerome. I am extremely satisfied with his academic growth and his development. The teachers are experienced & nurturing. Classrooms are technologically advanced, all with smart boards. Upperclass students are provided with iPads. Older students mentor & help the younger students. Remarkable sense of family & community. The testing scores this year for the school were outstanding. I would regret sending my son anywhere else.
My son was diagnosed with a learning disability. St. Jerome addressed this issue in a positive, proactive way. As a result, my son Is exceeding expectations. The principal is a shining beacon who teaches the students to advocate for themselves in all aspects of their lives. In addition, the staff is dedicated and enthusiastic. We could not be more thrilled with the education our son is receiving.
I could not be happier with the education my child is getting at St. Jerome's School. Great leadership, academics, extra-curricular activities, and family involvement.
SAVE YOUR MONEY!!! Teach morals and values at home and through church, charity and CCD. We have found the public schools to be FAR superior. If you really want a Catholic school, I would highly suggest looking into the others in town or in nearby towns.
I have two children enrolled at St. Jerome School and in the fall, my third child will enter the K-I program. My experience has been nothing but wonderful. Dedicated faculty, caring staff, and an active group of parents support a smart student population. Graduating students go on to attend the area's most competitive high schools. We have also had a great deal of technology enhancements in the past few year. Kids can participate in a variety of arts programs. There are strong sports teams for boys and girls, and family fun nights are a regular event. I am so glad that my children attend St. Jerome School. I highly recommend you consider it for your family.

Celebuzz Hits The Set Of 'Hit The Floor'
The drama unveils the world behind basketball dancing teams and is the network's second scripted series. In addition to starring some newcomers the cast features a few familiar faces. And Celebuzz caught up with the show's stars in between takes of taping an intense dance scene.
"What's really strange is that two years before I found out about this audition I was a Laker girl for three months," recalls the show's female lead, Taylour Paige. The role of Asha is Paige's first big-time gig. In fact, she was cast as the lead and shot the pilot for the show just two weeks before her college graduation. "I was literally on set studying for my philosophy final," recalls Paige, "while I was also studying my lines. It was insane."
Hit the Floor begins with Asha wanting to audition to be a dancer for the fictional Los Angeles basketball team, the Devils. Her mother Sloane, played by John Q and For Colored Girls actress Kimberly Elise, tries to keep her from auditioning because she was once a Devils girl herself. "What I see is a mother who is fixated on her daughter," says Elise, "and hovering over her daughter and then has to let that go."
And Asha is confronted with the dark side of the dance world rather quickly. Logan Browning plays the team's head dancer, Jelena, and she doesn't seem to like Asha trying to change the team's dynamic. "[Jelena] has to be number one," explains Browning, "if she's not number one she doesn't feel like she belongs. That's why she's driven to be the center of attention."
While most of the women on the show feel right at home in the dance world some of the show's male leads are more than comfortable stepping into the basketball world. Former Superman actor on Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, Dean Cain, plays the role of the Devils' basketball coach and with friends like the coach of the Dallas Cowboys and Magic Johnson Cain seems to know what he's doing. "I've seen it all. I've seen everything that this character is living." says Cain. "I've prepared my entire life to play this role."
Cain isn't the only one with basketball chops. Hit the Floor's hunk McKinley Freeman played the sport as a kid and even played all throughout college, so the show's slam dunks are second nature to Freeman. "We were shooting in Ontario and the crew call was 8:30AM," say Freeman, "I got there at 7:30 so I could shoot in this arena all by myself. It was perfect."
Watch the show's promo above to get a peek at some of the steamy dance moves.
Hit the Floor premieres Monday, May 27th at 10PM.

Chirppers advise...
21Schmoopie says:
Wonder what is holding him back. Maybe get the ball rolling by getting the paperwork so he can fill it out then plan a lunch date near a passport office and go with him to get his photo. Sometimes it is like pulling teeth but the upside is you'll be on your merry way traveling to exotic places together!
13Kathy says:
There could be a lot of things holding him back. How are your finances overall? Does he harbor a fear of flying? Here's an idea — plan a trip that you can get to by rail — like Canada or Mexico. Get to see the US on your vacation to one of our sister countries. He'd still need the passport, but may be more apt to get it if the trip doesn't include air travel.

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone can recommend a very good tailor who can fix a hole (where the belt buckle loop is so in) on leather pants? I have asked around and not gotten much feedback.
Preferably Southside, but would be willing to travel just to make sure the pants get fixed well without being damaged.
Standard recommendation around here seems to be Joe's Boots in Kingston.
Have yet to hear a bad review of them, and they seem to do anything leather. I know they do handbags/purses as well as boots/shoes, so I'd be surprised if they wouldn't have a crack at your daks.
Lil's Leather Alterations Dunlop
Do you pay on the first date?

Peppermill Resort Spa Casino
Reno, NevadaEnter your email address and zip code for pricing and availability
Why Stay At Peppermill Resort Spa Casino
Nightlife lovers who prefer a more relaxed casino experience—plus eco-conscious amenities and access to nature—opt for this mega-resort in Reno, Nevada.
The Scoop
Reno may be Nevada's second city when it comes to gambling, but the Peppermill Resort Spa Casino is no less spectacular than the Las Vegas mega-complexes it emulates: a huge hotel-casino with more than 1,600 rooms, 16 bars and lounges, and 10 restaurants. When you're ready to try your luck, the Peppermill delivers with a poker room, 1,900 slots, and a slew of gaming tables. And in 2010, it became the first U.S. hotel to heat and cool its grounds with geothermal energy.
Insider Tips
Active travelers can take advantage of Reno's extended ski season, which starts as early as October and in April.
Bring your bathing suit year round: the hotel has two geothermal-heated swimming pools, complete with waterfalls, fountains, and poolside cabanas.
Preferred Airport
Arrive at Reno Tahoe International Airport (RNO) which is approximately 3 miles from the hotel. Anticipate about 15 minutes of travel time.2702 S. Virginia Street, Reno, NV, United States

Update on N3 service arrangements
An agreement to continue to fund the N3 service from April 2014 has been established by the Department of Health, Cabinet Office, NHS England and the Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC) this week.
N3 provides connectivity and broadband services across the NHS. The N3 Contract is managed by BT, with individual access circuits provided by a range of suppliers and available to be purchased by local organisations on rolling contracts, with some central funding support.
The latest agreement is part of a transition arrangement to ensure the continuation of live services whilst a replacement service is procured.
The key features of the agreement are that:
- the current national network service provider (N3SP), BT, will continue to have responsibility for delivering the national network service during the transition;

- Summary: It's 1962. John F. Kennedy is the U.S. President and the Cold War has the nation gripped with fear – but a far more viscous and insidious enemy than communism is threatening America. Known only to a scant few, a covet government unit called The Bureau begins investigating and concealing a series of mysterious attacks by an alien enemy. As special agent William Carter, you make the decisions, pull the trigger and lead your squad in a third-person tactical shooter set within a high-stakes, covert war to defend the human race. The Bureau's mission is clear – survive, adapt and overcome the enemy threat (Heartbreak Ridge-style) to protect the citizens from the truth. … Expand

Aug 20, 2013This adventurous title from 2K Marin is a very good example of a tactical shooter game. In spite of some unpolished details, the fans of the saga will not be disappointed with The Bureau.
Aug 19, 2013The Bureau has occasional problems with pacing, it could do with a little more polish and it doesn't revolutionise shooters but it does adroitly step sideways into a totally unfamiliar genre and it expands the greater fiction while doing so. Another successful XCOM mission.
Sep 8, 2013Starts slow then builds into a time sink, and each victory feels like a monumental win. Tacticians and action fans finally have something in common to obsess over. [October 2013, p80]
Aug 20, 2013Undoubtedly a game that has been through development hell, but nonetheless a surprisingly entertaining - if flawed - Mass Effect style shooter.
Aug 23, 2013The Bureau: XCOM Declassified isn't a bad game by any stretch, but it fails to live up to its predecessor. It has the aesthetic personality but it doesn't have the gameplay personality. The control is fine, the music is a fantastic touch, and the fulfillment one feels after a properly executed mission is significant. But the story, despite glimpses of greatness, lets you down, and there's just a general feeling of monotony that permeates the entire experience.
Aug 30, 2013A Frankenstein monster of gameplay sensibilities, The Bureau: XCOM Declassified is a good origin story for series fans but doesn't do third-person shooting or real-time strategy well enough to compel enthusiasts of either genre.
Sep 1, 2013At times the narrative is incomprehensible and the characters are uninteresting and unlikeable, but it's the mismatch of borrowed gameplay mechanics that really lets The Bureau: XCOM Declassified down. Truly embodying the spirit of the phrase 'jack of all trades, master of none', this is another unfortunate victim of rampant focus testing.

Aug 20, 2013I don't understand the bad reviews
Solid Third person shooter, not very innovative in this department but gets the job done and is very enjoyable(why take points away for that)
The tactics are fun and different the game took a lot of risk and i applaud that rather than just being a mass effect 2 clone. I will add the tactics in battle may not be for everyone but if your not a fan of tactics don't rate this game badly because your not good at it
The story is entertaining enough and made me want to finish the game what else could you ask for? i see too much complaining about what the game isn't but it does not get any credit for what it is
reviewers rather give games like Saints Row 4 which was just a clone of saints row the third with super powers great scores because its simple minded and easy. I give a game like SR4 a 4-5 its the same thing as saints row the third with annoying super powers i did not even want them in the game wish they were optional.
Thank you 2k Marin for trying something different the game is solid and fun I hope these biased reviews don't completely mess up your sales game is worth the money… Expand
Jan 29, 2014Critics are wrong. It has the most expensive polygons i've ever seen. It is wonderfully voiced. It's gorgeously tactical yet perfectly first ''persony''. Theres even a perk/upgrade system not unlike Mass Effects.
If i made this game i'd have expected better reviews.
I suspect the people reviewing this game were chosen by the editors for their expertise in reviewing tactical games. This game is half tactical ergo the half-hearted reviews.
This game failed to disappoint me and im saddened it took me so long to play it because of my respect for the average metacritic review score. Lesson learned… Expand
Aug 21, 2013I can't say that the overall gameplay dynamics are as clean as I would want them to be, but the background and story of this game are absolutely genius. I'm glad they are deciding to move away from strictly WWII and actually tap into more current and interesting American political struggle. Really great game.… Expand
Aug 28, 2013Good game, very fun. Just like everybody here says, it could be more polished. The reviews are too low, this game really deserves at least a 8. Buy it, you won´t be disappointed.… Expand
Aug 20, 2013This is overall been a good game so far. Not as good as Enemy Unknown, but still awesome. If this game had been named something else, came out three years ago instead of the end of the current generation of systems or had not been associated with the original concept of an FPS, it would have scored better. Controls were solid, game play so far is good and story is decent.… Expand
Sep 2, 2013The Bureau is a solid built and enjoyable game that will appeal to all of those that are fans of the XCOM games, but it must be noted that this is a distant relation to the usual strategy gameplay of Enemy Unknown. The art and presentation are well put together and the story itself is a joy to play out. The problems come with clunky controls and squadmates that need constant instruction. I spent most of the game feeling as I had killed everything and I had 2 people with me to keep me company. The other floor is that the research system seems totally absent and the XCOM HQ itself feels like it could of had so so much more to keep you active between missions.
Overall its playable and XCOM fans will get something from this.… Expand
Aug 21, 2013You walk around your base, talk to people, and nothing else. after that, you go to a mission, where you take cover and shoot things, then move to the next combat zone and do the same thing until the mission is over. That's it! Nothing else. Nothing that makes this into an X-COM game.… Expand

I'm surprised to see nobody's posted anything about this place yet! It's in the old Black Camel space on Adelaide W. which closed earlier this spring. The decor is exactly the same save for some new art on the walls, so I suppose it's easy to miss if you're not looking for it.
Feeling the effects of the cold that everyone around me's got, I went in for a bowl of warm hugs expecting an experience akin to what one can get while eating from the Soup Market in the TD Centre but I got something that has surpassed just about everything I've ever had before, or made from scratch for that matter. I ordered the chicken hot pot (approx $8) and was treated to a fantastic bowl of haute soup served on a lazy susan with proper cutlery, very nice chopsticks with a scone, yellow pepper jelly and what I thought was pistachio spread. No eating off of plastic here which made its price all the more reasonable.
My soup was bold in spices both hot and rich with prominent lemongrass, basil, ginger and a tiny bit of coriander. Generous amounts tender chicken with vegetables and Chinese egg noodle (I think) made it all very balanced and worth the price. Watching Ravi prepare each bowl for his guests made the wait and somewhat clumsy, yet hospitable service all worth it, for there was only love going into the bowl for all to consume.
A short blurb about Ravisoups appeared in The Star not too long ago which regailed Ravi as being the ex-Mildred Pierce 'Soup King' which in my opinion is too humble a title.
I can't be the only Chowhound in this city who's been here. I certainly don't want to be!
re: domesticgodess
There were 3 on the menu today. A red pepper bisque and the noted curried apricot and red lentil soup from the article. They also had 4 sandwiches on the board as well, of which I'll be back to try.
Stopped by today. A friend and I split a bowl of roasted corn soup with basil and tomato concassse, a roasted chicken, yam and slaw wrap and the curried leg of lamb, rice pilaf and mango salsa wrap . All very nicely spiced with an excellent balance between main and supporting ingredients (i.e., the accoutrements didn't overshadow the main attraction). The soup was served with a biscuit and very excellent condiments (cilantro, mint and coconut puree and yellow pepper jelly).
I'll definitely put it on my regular circuit of restaurants in the area. I only wish there were more combo options, like a half-order of soup, so I don't have to rely on someone else to split stuff with me. Nice patio in the back as well.
re: tbonetak
What's the address?
re: outofit
WOW..what a great new restaurant. I had the curried apricot soup and it was incredible. The flavors, the spice, consistency, etc. Ravi, certainly does know what he is doing!! There was a featured, cold cucumber soup that I sampled....which was also incredible.
I ordered a regular sized soup ($6.99) but it was HUGE..next time I would order a small bowl.
I ordered a cucumber slaw with raita and it was a very refreshing..cruchy, flavorfuf and a perfect compliment to my soup. (although I was full, full, full).
The restaurant itself is "cool"...I liked the design and the patio in the back has a pefect tree for just the right amount of shade.
I will be going back...thats for sure!!
re: tbonetak
I went back today for the second time. This time I had the red pepper bisque (very bright, with nice coconut milk and citrus flavours) and the pulled pork wrap with tamarind glaze (very nice, but so large it started to get a bit cloying at the end.)
Good news! You can now get small bowls of soup (You may have been able to all along but I guess I never asked and it's not on the board.) and they offer a $9 soup/wrap combo with a smaller wrap than the regular-priced one. I think this is the way to go, as the regular wraps are massive. It's a nice way to get a taste of both the excellent soup and wraps.
re: tbonetak
I've posted some photos from my most recent visit here.
re: tbonetak
great photo's....I definetely need to go back there and try another great soup!!
Visited Ravisoups today and was not impressed. Since it's so hot, I wasn't in the mood for hot soup and since I don't like chilled soups, I ordered a wrap - the Pulled Pork with Asian Slaw and Tamarind Ketchup. It's was $8.31 - a LOT for a sandwich/wrap, even if it's big.
My disappointment was with the taste. The pork was bland and a little dry. The 'slaw' was baby spinach and red pepper, with a citrus dressing - good, but not really 'slaw' (IMO). The same 'slaw' was repeated in the wrap, along with pineapple (which I like) which wasn't mentioned in the wrap's description, and the Tamarind Ketchup, which was sickly sweet (esp. with the pineapple). All in all it was too sweet, too expensive, and disappointing considering the favorable reviews.
Also, the washrooms were dark, damp and musty, and toilet paper-free, which I discovered too late.
I will return in a more soup-friendly season for a second try, but for now will not make the trek across the downtown core from work.
re: thenurse
I was there for lunch too. I had the soup and sandwich combo for $11.34. I wasn't impress with my pulled pork wrap either. The pork was very very dry and so was the wrap. It would have been nicer if they grilled it slightly to bake off some of the starchiness. I did like the pineapple, that was a nice touch. The soup was good, I had the corn puree with tomato and basil. The presentation was nice and they were very friendly. Unfortunately the chairs were horrible. They rival the ones at Le Papillon for being the most uncomfortable. They were steel with a mesh-like pattern that really needed a cushion. Something to soften the sharpness! I will go back to try more soups but unlikely to try a wrap again.
re: kerwintoronto
there is a new winter soup menu that sounds divine. Has anyone been recentely?
re: domesticgodess
Yes. I went recently and there was a new menu. I had mushroom wild rice soup. It was delicious, and the soup's thickness was provided by pureed wild rice instead of cream so it was a healthier choice.
Dining companions had a corn chowder with shrimp, cilantro and coconut milk if I recall. Also very good.
Their biscuits are killer (figuratively and literally, both a result of lots of butter and cheese!).
Ravisoups will be changing it's hours soon, open seven days a week and offering breakfast. I'm excited because I work in that area and the only breakfast offerings are deplorable, greasy, overdone eggs at Zuppa or cold, dry muffins at Croissant Tree. This is the best "fast food" place I have ever eaten, it's saved my life. I'm eating real food every day instead of McBioHazard Hormone-wiches - thank you Ravi!!!!!!!!
Anyway I heard that breakfast should be starting by the second week of January - 8am.
I've been there for lunch twice in the past two weeks. I've had the Apricot Curry, the Butternut Duck, and the Hot Pot Broth, all of which have been very good. Surprising amount of meal in these soups, and not in the rice / pasta / filler sort of way. They warm you up and taste great doing it.
The Biscuit and Jelly / Sauce is a nice touch.
Solid spot. But apparently I have said nothing that hasn't already been said on this post. Great work.
re: Mila
this is the BEST soup! i just had an unbelieveable experience, had the chicken hot pot and bf had the lamb soup. so fresh and full of flavour, you can't get real homemade soup like this anywhere in toronto. and the SCONES, wow someone find me this recipe because I am sick of eating hockey pucks and this was like a soft, delicious pillow crusted in cheese. ****** 5 stars *******
re: hotpeppers
There's a Mildred Pierce cookbook. I've never been to Ravisoups, but he may be using the Mildred Pierce recipe or something derived from it. (He used to work there). MP had great scones.
re: embee
Feeling a bit under the weather today, I was really craving a good soup to kick my cold. I did a few searches here on chow and came across this posting (thankfully).
Ravi soups is a hidden gem!
I picked up the corn chowder, garnished with crispy shallots and thai basil. This was the best soup I have had in a really really long time. So fresh, so flavourful, and very filling.
To add, the chedder scone with red pepper jelly (included with any soup order) was divine.
The lady in store was super helpful, I will definately be back for more!
re: pancake
Ravisoups is definitely not bad. Their selection these days is much more limited (and pedestrian) when compared to their earlier offerings though. Too bad, felt like having a really exciting soup a little while back and found they no longer stocked it! Tasty crab in their soup though - very sweet. (tad pricey for a takeout soup though at almost $9 or $10 including taxes)
re: LTL
Yes! Its really really good. I was there a few weeks ago. I stick to the soups only, have yet to try anything else. The scone they give you with the soup is also really fresh and tasty, be sure to get the red pepper jelly that goes with it!
TIP OF THE DAY - If you go between 5 and 6pm on a friday, they sell the soups buy one get one free....so worth it!
re: pancake
Did they change their policy? It used to be 50% off on Friday after 5pm.
I guess it's a similar deal, except you need a partner to take advantage now.
re: pancake
Thanks for the report. Heading there tonight.
Just gotta throw in my 2cents - i've been there twice once last wk and today for lunch and have to say that although not cheap, their food is fantastic...
very fresh wraps, very high quality ingredients and quite obviously homemade - today i had a beef curry wrap w/ a potato leek w/smoked trout soup...
go check it out it's worth the extra 4 bones for a proper lunch ; )
re: dannyboy
Despite being full from a disappointing outing at Smoke's (weak gravy) last week, I passed by Ravisoup and walked out with the corn chowder and the mushroom soup. I'm blissed out on fabulous soup! I'm going back tonight for the apricot soup and maybe more of the corn chowder. As for the poutine? Maybe one day when it's late and I need to quell beer-fuelled munchies...
re: JonasBrand
not only does Ravi know what he is doing in the kitchen..he is a super nice guy.
I wish him only the best.
re: domesticgodess
Oh my, Ravi knows his soup!
I had the porcini mushroom soup and the roasted chicken wrap...both were excellent! Friends had the chicken hot pot and chowder and both raved about them! (Pics in my blog)
I never knew soup could be so tasty! Thanks Ravi!
Delicious corn and blue crab chowder (with thai basil) and fabulous wrap of the day (succulent steak, brie, edamame, spinach, yam). Less-than-impressive pork and slaw wrap and disappointing "curried" red lentil and apricot soup (way too much cumin). Despite the cashier's reassurance that the slaw is made to order and writing "no cilantro" on the order form for the pork wrap, it came chock full of the vile stuff! Cashier also forgot to ring in the two biscuits so it took us a while to figure out why they weren't being delivered to our table in the mad lunch rush. Would definitely return, but wish today's steak 'n' brie wrap of the day was a regular feature!!!!
re: Food Tourist
They are planning on opening a second location, on Queen, near The Drake. Was just there today and found out this info from Ravi's brother, who is a hell of a nice guy and now full time at Ravisoups after spending many years at Cafe Doria (as a totally unrelated aside). They are building the space now. Good for them! Food is still magnificent.
re: domesticgodess
No problem! Ravi's brother said they were hoping it would open in about a month...
re: piccola
That's a good question. I'm fairly certain they do have at least one soup on the menu that is vegetarian, if not more perhaps. But it is a VERY small menu, so one option might be it. Don't quote me on it though. They also do daily specials, some of which I'm betting are vegetarian. But because I never really consciously looked, I can't say with certainty what they are. Perhaps their miso based soup, roasted red pepper bisque, or their butternut squash soups are made sans meat products/stocks.....?
re: piccola
Also veggie friendly (unless they are using lard, which I doubt - but you could always ask to make sure I suppose): the cheddar biscuits and choco-banana cake. Both SO good. Enjoy!
re: piccola
yes they offer vegetarian options, usually 1-2, depending on the day.
the Friday half price after 5pm deal is still around.
Saw this restaurant on "Street Eats" on the weekend and had to go..I had 2 friends come with me and they ordered wraps and i ordered the "Ravi Stew" nice blend of flavours and the lamb was very tender, the biscuit was a nice touch. Just like traditional stew & biscuits with a yummy twist. The girls had a free range chicken and a veggie wrap.
I had to try both, preferred the chicken wrap as a bit more flavour. But now need to go back and try some of the other reccomendations.. As the appricot / lentil sounds intriguing.
re: MiniMom
Thanks for your report...
Does anyone know if the second location is open yet? I would imagine it should be, but haven't heard anything for months....
re: domesticgodess
Thank you kindly :)
re: cutehinano
just a bump - anyone know what the hours at BOTH locations are?
re: Yum2MyTum
Confirmed via a call -
Original Location -
11am to 10pm (Mon to Fri)
11am to 6pm (Sat)
Sunday closed
Queen West Location -
11am to 11pm (Mon to Sat)
11am to 8pm (Sun)
Note - The new location has a slightly awkward space, but it's nice enough. Looks like they're staying open later because of the traffic in the area. I go by there daily, so I can confirm the stated hours (at least till 9pm). I can also confirm that the soup and biscuits I had were just as good at the Adelaide location!
It might just be me, but I've found most of the things I've tried at Ravisoups to be much too sweet. The only soup I've had that isn't is the wild mushroom, which was delightful (as are their biscuits), but some of the wraps are very sweet as well. I guess it's just not my cup of tea.
after horrible service at the Queen St location for the third time I give up and am not going back. I ordered a take out soup and slaw and waited 30 minutes for this.
A few others around me waiting for take out were equally frustrated...one poor girl just ordered a take out soup alone and waited a good 20 minutes.
The slaw is supposed to have a handful of ingredients listed on the board but what I got was a few spinich leafs and 2 small pieces of pineapple.
Serving sizes are a joke...after spending over $15 I got a half cup of slaw and about 3/4 cup of soup.
never again.
after swearing off this place for horrible service, ended up back with a friend who really wanted to go.
we ate in and I was happy it took under half an hour to serve a bowl of soup. It was very good as well.
My huge frustration with this place besides sloowww service on Queen St, is that when you eat in you get a decent serving size of soup.
Order take out, and for the same price you get about 1/4 the amount of soup.
