Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Roasted vegetable melange

    • wester on September 05, 2010

      This does taste good (my husband complimented me), and it is very lowfat. The exact vegetables to use are flexible: I left out asparagus and zucchini, replaced the leek by a mixture of red and white onions, and put in some chick peas. The end result was fine. I think next time I will also experiment with other herbs and spices (fennel seeds? Moroccan or Indian spices, and cilantro?). One thing I will not change is the high amount of members of the allium family, because that gives a nice bold flavor. You will have to start early: two hours in the oven, and prepping the vegetables will take some time as well. Because of the low fat content, it is not possible to raise the oven temperature to cook faster, because then it will burn.

  • Honeydew smoothie

    • wester on September 08, 2010

      Nice and summery. If it's not in the height of summer, I'd recommend a bit more yogurt to give it more body.

  • Coffee sip

    • wester on October 09, 2010

      Easy low-fat iced coffee. Same recipe as in Great Good Food.

  • Banana-mint slush

    • wester on October 09, 2010

      Sweet and refreshing. Easy to make. The kids loved it too. Same recipe as Lime-mint slush from Great Good Food.

  • Orange muffins

    • melissa8800 on January 13, 2013

      These muffins are yummy. I made an orange butter to go along with them: softened butter, orange zest, orange juice, honey. They only needed to bake for 13 min.
