    I didn't have cumin (will try next time) and added honey smoked turkey + walnuts to make a one dish meal. Tasty, great textures & a definite repeat. - 2/7/10

    I didn't like this at all. It may have been the cinnamon that did it-the rest of it looked like it would be a pretty good combination, but all together I took one bite and couldn't eat anymore. - 2/6/09

    Is there something missing like is the yams canned. We cooked raw carrot and raw yam 20 min and they were still hard anothe 20 min and they were all dryed up. - 11/4/10

    Made it exactly as the recipe stated. I wish this came out a bit more juicy and had a stronger cinnamon taste. - 11/2/10

    This was sooooo deliscious! I didn't have parsnips (never tried them) and I forgot the garlic cloves. I used fresh cilantro (just discovered it & love it!). But the dish was amazing! The sweet, the tart, the spices, it all worked wo well together. This will definitely be a repeater!!! Thank yo - 1/28/09

    Smells great! But a 20 minute cook time is inappropriate for RAW yams and carrots, which I would assume one would use. If this recipe is intended for CANNED yams please state. Also, kind of dry. Thinking of ways to zazz it up a bit without adding fat. - 3/10/16

    I will be trying this today, I think. But, 6 servings? I don't think so.

    I love sweet potatoes & different ways to cook them. It brought out the sweetness in the veggies. Even my family liked them. I'll make this again. - 1/30/11

    It took a lot longer to cook than the recipe said. I also used only dried spices since that's all I had, but there wasn't a whole lot of taste. Perhaps if I had stuck to the recipe it would have been better. - 12/24/10

    This is not very clear..do you parboil the yams & carrotts? and also, I saw someone mentioned parsnips, but they are not in the recipe, neither is mayo which someone else mentioned. Could someone sparkmail me so I can correct my recipe? Thanks. - 11/6/10

    I havent trried this but I think if I modified it by taking out the garlic and the mayo I think I would like it alot as I love carrots and sweet potato. - 11/3/10

    The ingredients list includes cilantro, but at the end of the recipe it mentions parsley. Which is it? - 11/2/10
