Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Garganelli with fennel and pork shoulder ragu

    • Zosia on January 23, 2021

      The combination of ingredients worked: the pork had a deep, rich flavour slow cooked flavour and the sauce was a meaty gravy that tasted only mildly of fennel and tomatoes. However, I found it very salty made with the ingredients listed.

  • Garlic shrimp and white beans

    • chawkins on February 11, 2016

      Simple, easy and delicious, with a hint of spiciness.

    • clkandel on April 07, 2019

      Easy and delicious! I added some baby spinach right before the tomato paste for some added veg.

  • Creamy tomato soup

    • lueder516 on January 05, 2020

      Too acidic, not sure why.

  • Treviso salad with orange vinaigrette and Manchego

    • peacheater on January 03, 2026

      Made a riff on this using a single head of radicchio that I quite enjoyed. Grilled the radicchio on a hot cast iron pan with a little oil, then added to a bowl with more olive oil, balsamic, toasted walnuts, parsley, Maldon sea salt and a bit of grapefruit juice. Tossed together well and topped with the shaved manchego. Yum, though you have to like bitter flavors.

  • Salted caramel "ding dong" cake

    • Zosia on March 19, 2023

      This cake was a little disappointing. The flavour was good but the salted caramel got lost within the chocolate ganache. The filling was also good and a necessary contrast that prevented chocolate overload. I think an oil based cake would be a better choice as it would remain soft at the cool temperatures required for serving this cake.

  • Yellow layer cake with chocolate-sour cream frosting

    • stef on September 19, 2020

      I made the chocolate sour cream frosting. It's of a very creamy consistancy. Not suited for piping purposes.Comes together easily but takes time.

  • Banana-chocolate chip cake with peanut butter frosting

    • jchavelh on January 05, 2015

      I make half the frosting (otherwise its a bit too much) and spread frosting between the layers and on top, skipping the sides.
