Since New Jersey is the Garden State, I think this recipe represents our region. This dish uses a lot of vegetables out of the garden.

This was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning or maybe some fresh herbs. Otherwise, it was a good recipe and the eggplant was cooked perfectly.

This dish was okay. The eggplant was a little bland and the cheese was not melted enough. The sauce was also a bit too salty. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I ended up burning the eggplant and the cheese was rubbery. I think I'll stick to simpler recipes in the future.
