• Apple chocolate chip muffins

    The link is gone! Similar recipe on same blog here : https://tinandthyme.uk/2013/09/apple-chocolate-chip-muffins-random/

• Double apple tarts with white chocolate

  • Agaillard on November 17, 2019

    This was definitely good, however I was a bit disappointed. I didn't think you could really taste the white chocolate, and, it was really similar to a French apple tart I frequently make without a specific recipe (with spiced apple puree as a base and apricot jam as finish). I might try again with more chocolate.

• Chocolate pear cardamom upside-down cake

  • Agaillard on May 17, 2024

    I made this for work, substituting cardamom extract with cardamom. It was really good! Would have been even better with the 40g of chocolate I was missing :) Otherwise, everything works and it is super quick and easy, the cooking temp and time is also spot on. Definitely on board to make again :)

• Malted chocolate bundt cake

  • BigOrangeTiger on May 01, 2021

    not made this yet but correct link is here: https://tinandthyme.uk/2015/01/malted-chocolate-bundt-cake/

• Chocolate fudge cake with chocolate cream cheese icing

  • BigOrangeTiger on July 02, 2019

    I only made the icing, not the cake, but the icing is AMAZING! It is sort of like a chocolate cheesecake. In fact I had some left over after icing the cake and I, um, well I just ate it!

• Apple parsnip soup

  • kbrooks on May 20, 2025

    Did some tweaking with this and really like it. Peeled the parsnips and potatoes. Used 3 potatoes instead of 2. Used 2 apples instead of 1. Increased curry powder and turmeric to 1-1/2 teaspoons each.

• Spicy peanut butter noodles with steamed vegetables and smoked tofu

  • chezlarios on November 11, 2024

    Better than expected! The only thing I did different was, I used the same pan I'd used to panfry the tofu to then saute the veggies, to reduce the number of pots/pans. It needed a bit of salt at serving (perhaps could have used more soy sauce?) but that's fine. Smoked tofu is always a winner!

• Sweet potato and carrot soup

  • Agaillard on November 19, 2022

    Aaaah... still sick with i don't know what virus and this was SO comforting... worth the effort... only thing is i divided quantities by two for just me and this was barely enough. Should have made the whole thing.. Also, the quantity of stock indicated yielded more a purée texture than a soup, and this is backed by the pictures from the website. I added milk and a bit of stock for more of a soup feeling. I will definitely make again though, it tastes amazing.

• Carrot top pistou

  • Agaillard on August 22, 2020

    I wasn't convinced, at all. First by the recipe, there are no proportions given at all, no clear instructions (do you use all the carrot top, or just the leaves, or ?). Second, the taste grossed me out, maybe because I got the proportions wrong, maybe because it was too raw and herby or just I don't like them or not used to it, who knows :) In any case will look elsewhere on how to use my carrot tops (see my post in the forum!)

• Mincemeat brownies

  • Jane on January 19, 2026

    A great way to use up leftover mincemeat. I usually use a bit more mincemeat than in the recipe as I like an extra hit of boozy fruit. Bonus is the recipe is gluten-free.

• Asparagus frittata with peas and mint

  • Agaillard on August 08, 2024

    I made this with fresh peas and broccolini instead of asparagus (which in France is called strangely "bimi"). It was super simple and nice. I used 3 small eggs for a 20cm pan - initially 2 but had to increase otherwise would have been too flat! I added parmesan on top and actually I served with a salad with rocker, pears and parmesan from another book, that was good pairing.

• Honey butter glazed carrots with garlic

  • Stephenn31 on January 25, 2025

    Delicious. I added lots of garlic. Could easily add in different herbs at the end depending on what it's being served with.

• Whole roasted cauliflower with tahini sauce

  • CJWheaton on February 07, 2026

    Didn't have dates, but was still great. Should have thinned out the sauce more so that I would have had enough to baste it again near the end of the bake time. Added a second lemon for juice since my first one didn't have enough juice. Added some paprika for color.
