Notes about this book

  • Serviam on June 11, 2011

    The leg of lamb roasted with rosemary and garlic is a lovely way to celebrate the brief British summer, It's easy to cook and delicious. Try it with fresh peas and new potatoes, followed by summer pudding

  • Jillwill on May 24, 2011

    all my friends and family love the couscous salad and the pesto rice salad. Highly recommend!

Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Salmon with a saffron cous-cous crust

    • sharifah on November 11, 2011

      V easy to make, and v nice too

  • Roasted vegetable cous-cous salad with harissa-style dressing

    • sharifah on November 11, 2011

      My all time favourite

  • Chicken with sherry vinegar and tarragon sauce

    • veronicafrance on December 05, 2011

      I'm not a huge fan of Delia, but this is my favourite recipe of hers, and I make it often. As with many of Delia's recipes, you can cut down on the cream considerably and it will still be good.

  • Hot and sour pickled prawns

    • veronicafrance on December 05, 2011

      This recipe is really excellent. It's become a standby for garden party food, perfect for hot summer days, and can be prepared the previous day.

  • Rigatoni and asparagus au gratin

    • veronicafrance on April 07, 2012

      Delia says this stretches a small quantity of asparagus to serve 2 people as a main course and she's right, it does -- but you can't really taste the asparagus! It's more there for appearance than anything else, and you could substitute another green veg, e.g. broad beans or fresh peas. However it has a lot going for it. It tastes good, looks nice, and I had it on the table in not much more than half an hour from starting to cook. I would recommend cooking the pasta almost completely before putting it in the oven, rather than the 6 minutes she recommends, because it was a bit too al dente, even for someone who likes al dente pasta.

  • Piedmont roasted peppers

    • Hellyloves2cook on April 15, 2012

      Delicious red peppers served up as a starter served at room temperature. This is very summery and a regular dish in the Summer months for my family. Even my children can make these.

  • Fried halloumi cheese with lime and caper vinaigrette

    • Hellyloves2cook on April 15, 2012

      One of my favourite starters ever!

    • scarlettchef on February 09, 2013

      This is a really punchy dish, a true taste sensation. Sadly, I could eat a whole block of halloumi all on my own, in one sitting. Fried cheese is definitely not diet food, so I try and make it an occasional treat. Wonderful, quick easy starter or lunch dish. Give it a go.....

  • Toasted sweetcorn salsa

    • lilham on June 11, 2012

      I haven't looked at this book for a long time. What a surprise EYB brought it to me when I was looking for a salsa to go with refried beans and tortilla chips. I wanted something that's summery and have a crunchy feel (ie not tomato or avocado based salsas). This one fits the bill perfectly. It comes togther quickly too if you discount all the cutting to get onions and the tomatoes similar size to the sweetcorn.

  • Roasted Mediterranean vegetable lasagne

    • Tommelise on June 29, 2012

      This is my kids favorite recipe for lasagne. They love the taste of the roasted vegetables. I tend to add more basil and garlic, but then I do that with a lot of recipes :) It is a very fast recipe, just cut up the vegetables and put them in the oven - take them out when they are done and layer the lasagne and return to the oven - it could hardly be easier.

  • Chicken Basque

    • scarlettchef on December 18, 2012

      This is one of my standby one dish meals. No accompaniment required. Really tasty. Even after work, it is something I can bung in the oven for an hour and get on with other things, whilst it sees to itself. Practically foolproof and is great heated up the next day for lunch. My work colleagues are so jealous!
