I saw the Mailbox recipe for Ina Garten's chicken curry salad, and I am interested in trying it. However, it calls for mango chutney, and I am allergic to mango. Does anyone have a chutney recipe without mango that would be a good alternative?

• Sofia's minestrone: I just had the delicious minestrone soup at Sofia Restaurant in Sacramento. It was a gorgeous deep red with lots of flavor. Does anyone have this recipe or one similar?

Your columns are my favorites. Many thanks.

• A recipe loved, then lost: I would be most appreciative if someone can find this recipe from an old Bisquick cookbook. It is not on their Web site and I have lost the recipe. The dish had Bisquick on the bottom, then a layer of sour cream and cheese and tomato. It was then baked. It was a simple dish to prepare and everyone loved it.
