Notes about Recipes in this book

• Breakfast pancakes

  • Varundel on May 03, 2015

    These pancakes bore a striking resemblance in flavour to Yorkshire puddings! I'm not sure if the lack of sweetener to the batter mix was a deliberate omission but they do require maple syrup, honey and/or fruit to make them more of a breakfast dish.

• Cheese and eggplant oven bake

  • Shelmar on September 04, 2019

    Pretty good, better with truly medium eggplant, and less rosemary.

• Mac & cheese with crispy topping

  • MsMonsoon on July 09, 2024

    This was really good and easy and didn’t use too many dishes. You boil the macaroni first, dump into a colander, and can make the cheese sauce in the same pot. Doubled the Dijon mustard. For the topping, I didn’t have pumpkin seeds so I used all sesame seeds (black), and didn’t have parsley so I used cilantro. Baked in a large, shallow, ungreased gratin dish, it came out with a perfectly crispy top.

• Cauliflower cheese

    This was delicious, even though I made it with skim milk because that’s what we had. I definitely used a heaping teaspoon of the mustard. And I roasted the cauliflower instead of steaming or boiling it— so good. I just cut up the cauliflower into small florettes, tossed them with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt and black pepper, spread them on a baking sheet, and roasted them in the oven for about 35 minutes at 400°F. Meanwhile I made the sauce. Then I transferred the cauliflower into a baking dish, poured the sauce on top of it, and baked it all until it was bubbling around the edges, then put it under the broiler to broil the cheese on top. Highly recommended.

• Yummy spicy rice noodles

  • Mayandbill on November 07, 2017

    Enjoyed this but thought it would probably be better without the coconut milk. It was sweet from the chilli jam and creamy from the peanut butter already.

• Linda's lemon drizzle cake

  • MsMonsoon on September 15, 2021

    Very easy and a decent enough cake. Fluffy and crumbly, not anything like a dense pound cake. A bit dry the next morning, about 12 hours after baking. It’s got half the butter (1/2 cup) and about a third of the sugar (3/4 cup) of other drizzle cake recipes I’ve seen, so I guess it can be thought of as “healthier”?
