Notes about Recipes in this book

• Light chicken korma

  • redjanet on February 23, 2012

    Although a slightly bit more of a faff on a weeknight than I would have preferred, this was pretty successful for a low-fat curry. The sauce was fairly thick and creamy and the ground almonds, sultanas and onions in the sauce gave it texture, though I did think it still tasted a bit yogurty. My husband loved it and asked me to make it again.

• Tuna pasta bake

  • Ro_ on September 02, 2020

    This kind of dish is pure comfort food to me. A nice, easy recipe that slips down soooo easily. I need to compare it to a similar Mary Berry recipe for tuna pasta bake that I've enjoyed before.

• Mushroom stroganoff

  • chezsandj on February 23, 2019

    240 ml of yoghurt is approximately 2 x 125 g pots. Not worth faffing about to measure it exactly! (I did it once, to verify, but won't be bothering again.)

• Pipérade

  • adrienneyoung on March 10, 2012

    I made this without the ham, and with a fried egg on top instead of scrambled in. Admittedly NOT piperade, and NOT as the Roux brothers described the recipe. But it was spectacularly good. Note that it's really important to choose very flavourful tomatoes. Or, out of season, very VERY good canned tomatoes.
