Notes about Recipes in this book

• Grilled tofu

  • Meags on September 19, 2022

    I didn't seed the Serrano, used a large one and a T of Cholula. Cut back on parsley if grilling.

• Grilled portabello mushroom sandwiches with Manchego cheese

  • Meags on January 15, 2025

    Amazing! I used cremini mushrooms instead of portobellos. Def making again!

• Crepes stuffed with poblano chiles and spinach

  • Meags on September 19, 2022

    Really really yummy! I gave it a 4.5 instead of 5 only because of the time it takes to make. The crepes take a while. I swapped kale from my garden for the spinach. My poblanos were a little spicy, so I omitted the hot sauce before baking for my husband's sake. I used Cholula on mine when serving.

• Balsamic-Dijon vinaigrette

  • Meags on October 29, 2025

    Good - pretty generic dressing like you'd expect

• Black bean, tomato, and roasted poblano salad

  • Meags on September 19, 2022

    Very good! Kale good sub for watercress. Would be great with avocadoes. Not spicy though.

• Spicy lentil and feta cheese salad

  • Meags on September 19, 2022

    Great! Use 1/8 c of oil and add more if needed.

• Hot 'n' dirty rice salad

  • Meags on September 19, 2022

    Excellent!

• Stir-fried sweet corn with green beans and chiles

  • London_Mummy on November 22, 2025

    A quick, easy, tasty, crunchy, colourful, good-looking dish. Green beans & baby corn were on special offer at the supermarket, so when I got home, I searched my books & found this recipe. In the middle, I realised I had completely run out of both soy sauce (so I substituted Henderson's vegetarian Worcestershire sauce & extra lemon juice) & basil (so I substituted coriander). I also substituted four pickled jalapenos for two fresh ones, because one of my kids left behind a massive jar of picked jalapenos & I never waste food!

• Mustard-glazed roasted root vegetables

  • Meags on December 06, 2022

    Wow! This is a fantastic roasted vegetable recipe! I skipped the salt. Did a combo of Japanese sweet potatoes, carrots, onion and Brussels sprouts. Put in oven, went on a walk for an hour and done! Okay even without stirring during cooking.

    I made this recipe out of thrift, because I was already using the oven to bake a cake at the same temperature, also for 1 hour. I used sweet potatoes, carrots & potatoes. I wish I had checked after 40-45 minutes, because they got a bit too charred. They are still edible in say, a quiche, but are not suitable as a side dish.
