Notes about Recipes in this book

• Potato salad with bacon and egg

  • aargle on July 05, 2013

    This is going to be a go to potato salad when you need one for a crowd without any unusual ingredients

• Spinach, leek, zucchini and feta bake

  • debkellie on June 14, 2014

    I had a batch of fantastic feta that needed using: this recipe met my on-hand ingredients. Exceedingly easy & very tasty. And vegetarian. I was pleasantly surpised: don;t add too much salt though: the feta/ haloumi combo does that nicely;-)

  • lou_weez on June 13, 2016

    This was delicious and very easy to make.

  • aargle on July 04, 2018

    This was a huge success. Very filling - just used normal feta, halloumi and pecorino. Used 25cm round cake tin which worked perfectly. A definite repeat and a great vegetarian option.

• Luscious lemon slice

  • lou_weez on April 23, 2021

    A tangy, melt-in-your mouth slice. This is so easy to put together and looks amazing when sliced into finger sized pieces.

• St Louis orange syrup cake

  • aargle on September 09, 2013

    This cake is wonderful. It came out of my bundt tin perfectly and I was very happy with the result. It took about 50 minutes to cook in my oven. I used cumquat marmalade as that was all I had.

• Chocolate cinnamon crumble cake

  • debkellie on October 10, 2015

    Next time I make this (or the similar caramel crunch cake) I will remember to put less batter in at first layer, and also to portion out the crumble rather than rely on one third guestimates : smelling delicious.

• Red salmon, basil and Parmesan burgers

  • aargle on November 16, 2013

    These are good but I double breadcrumb quantity to make it go further - still tastes grear

• Pan-roasted honey mustard pork fillet

  • debkellie on August 05, 2024

    Way too strong a rosemary flavour for me.. I'd cut that right back if I did it again.

• Fettucine with smoked salmon and fennel

  • debkellie on March 23, 2021

    Loved this! Added a dash of Pernod and a leek .. really, easy, really tasty & quick.

• Italian agrodolce zucchini with mint and chilli

  • lou_weez on June 01, 2022

    So easy and so good.

• Caramel butter-crunch cake

  • debkellie on September 23, 2015

    This week's cake of the day. Complicated/time consuming method but worth the 40 minutes invested. Maybe the "caramel" in the title is a bit of misnomer.. not very caramel-y, but the rum comes through! Maybe Day 2 will improve the flavour balance.

• Orange yoghurt pannacotta

  • lou_weez on July 13, 2017

    This is delicious!! A silky and delicately flavoured dessert. I paired it with the toffee oranges and fresh orange segments. Can't wait for an excuse to make it again.

• Blueberry crostata

  • lou_weez on September 09, 2018

    I love this simple, rustic crostata. It was a big hit with the family and a little special served with a lemon butter cream.
