I made this for the second night of Passover. Everyone really liked it. The broccoli portion of the recipe is absolutely delicious and I think I will make a kugel just of that next time! It is a time consuming dish but I was very pleased to bring something different and tasty to my FIL's for dinner. Thanks for another great recipe Mirjam.

I have made this recipe for the last two years. I wasnt going to make it again this year. While it is delicious, it takes way more than the listed 30 minute preparation time. Lots and lots of work! After much whining from family, once again it will be at our seder meal. Do agree with trick. If you choose to make only one layer, the carrot would be my vote.

I made this for Passover. Rather than fresh veggies, I used frozen and that saved a lot of time. The only layer that was very time consuming was the cauliflower layer....what with all the sauteeing. Time consuming does not equal difficult, though. It was a very simple recipe to follow. I halved it, since we only had the 4 of us for the second night. It fit perfectly in a 8x8 pan. An excellent recipe that is different from the usual holiday offerings. Passover can be so boring with the same things....this was a great break from the same old. I definitely will use this recipe year round, not just for Passover. It would be perfect for Thanksgiving, RoshHashana or Yom Kippur. Or any night when I have a bit of extra time to cook.

I made this twice, the first time according to the recipe. Got rave reviews, and I loved it. The second time, I didn't have orange juice or lemon juice in the house, so I squeezed an orange and added lemon pepper. That was a mistake. The carrot layer in that second kugel came out too sweet. But otherwise, I think this is an amazing dish, both for its different layers of flavors and its aesthetic appeal... 2007 UPDATE-made it again this year for the seder and EVERYONE wants the recipe. An amazingly tasty dish!

I found this too much work for the end result. Each layer did have a distinct flavor but, to me, it just wasn't the greatest. My company didn't seem to enjoy it either. I was expecting vibrant colors, and was disappointed that it wasn't so. The carrot layer was very tasty and I think I would make it again with a little less cinnamon. Thanks for posting though because it gave me the opportunity to make a new veggie (the carrot layer).

Delicious! I had some of your Crock Pot Carmelized Onions (http://www.recipezaar.com/24750) in the fridge, and I substituted them for the onions in the cauliflower layer. I also didn't have fresh mushrooms at hand, so I substituted some jarred mushrooms that I sauteed a bit with some chopped garlic and a bit of olive oil. As it's been said, this is a labor-intensive dish, but it is so delicious and worth the work. Next time I make it, I'll make it in 2 8X8 pans and freeze one. Thank you Mirj!

This recipie is very time consuming as noted but worth every moment. I get raves with it every year. This year I think I will use the suggestion of making it in layers and stages. I plan on doubling it and making it in two seperate pans . . . This is one to use year round and not just on Passover . . . It is not only yummy but it is pretty

Very tasty kugel. It certainly does involve work, and the prep time is closer to 45min to an hour - can't imagine getting this done in the 30min stated. I lightened it up a bit by using egg whites instead of whole eggs, and it worked beautifully. Broccoli layer needed 7 egg whites, carrot layer needed 2 egg whites, cauliflower layer needed 6 egg whites and used light orange juice (Tropicana light n' healthy). I did use the whole cup of brown sugar, but I bet I could have used 1/3 less, atleast. Then, if using less sugar, you can cut the oil too. As I made it, for 20 servings, it gives 5 WW points per serving (all veggies are free), which is GREAT! I think you can easily get 32 servings from this as well (what I got), especially if there's a lot to eat, like on Passover, and that will give 3 WW points per serving. Would have gotten the extra star, but no raves at the table for this dish, sad considering the amount of work it took.
