Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Beetroot salad

    • fairyduff on July 24, 2020

      Really good. Not many other recipes out there that dress up tinned beetroot (a big fave in our family). I used the processor to give paper thin shavings of red onions, and almost as thin strips of green capsicum - a variation on the recipe's technique. I also added rocket because the veggie patch is bringing forth a bumper crop. It works well. The dressing is interesting - I estimated and unfortunately got the balance wrong - not enough lime and too much garlic.

  • Tim's banana bread

    • fairyduff on February 23, 2019

      Lots of sugar, lots of oil, and then add butter! Not for dieters. Certainly knocks off a large quantity of bananas if you have to use them up. Very easy quick mix cake. I prepared this for a loaf tin, and found the amount of batter called for a square tin. A lovely cake with deliciously caramelized surface and corner pieces. (I opted out of the rum syrup finish.) The centre of my cake remained so moist it was technically under-cooked, so go for longer in the oven even if the skewer test suggests it's done. Once the edge pieces of the cake have been enjoyed, we will try slices of the over-moist centre on the sandwich press.

      Update on note from Feb 23, 2019. The problem is my oven, not the recipe.

      Makes a lot of batter. I made two large loaves from this recipe.

Publishers Text

Featuring recipes and beautiful location photography from Kuruvita's successful SBS television shows, Island Feast and My Sri Lanka. In My Feast, Peter explores the spirit and rich culture of Sri Lanka, The Philippines, Cook Islands, Indonesia and Vanuatu, and shares the secrets of their unique cuisines, blending traditional cookery from these remarkable and locations with Peter's own unique style of cooking. The book is broken into 7 chapters, categorised by type of food (street food, seafood, meat and poultry, etc,), rather than geography - so every chapter is a dynamic exploration of the island nations of our closest neighbours.
