Customer reviews
I wold definitely recommend the Kamut Chilli Recipe on the site - I tried this on non-vegetarian friends and they were actually quite complimentary about it. (Usually I just hear moans about it not being a proper chilli, lasagne, casserole, etc with no meat. Yes, I know, I have somewhat limited friends!)
