  • Roasted tomato, garlic and bread salad

    • Breadcrumbs on April 22, 2013

      p. 32 - Outstanding! DH has you squeeze the roasted garlic into a dish to whisk up a dressing but I found the garlic wasn’t breaking up well so I whizzed the dressing in my mini Cuisinart. I used Cobb’s sourdough bread and the wonderful crunchy, dense croutons were a highlight in this dish. I went with Kumato tomatoes (Romas are drab right now). I’d consider this salad to be a bit of a riff on a panzanella salad. I omitted the prosciutto. I couldn’t find my white balsamic so I went w my regular balsamic with no averse affect it seems. This dish is a flavour explosion, everyone was commenting that the dressing was incredible and it was a perfect match for the sweetness of the caramelized tomatoes. Honestly this is one of the best salads I’ve made in a long time. I passed parmesan at the table and it was lovely grated atop. If I could give this an 11 out of 10 I would.

      Io ho aggiunto della mozzarella di bufala stracciata a mano

  • Cheat's ricotta gnocchi with sage butter

    • Astrid5555 on September 29, 2012

      This is not a simple dinner. The dough was so sticky that I had to use two spoons to shape the gnocchi, which took almost 20 minutes. Taste was ok, but not a hit with the children. Substituted home-made tomato sauce for sage butter.

  • Prawn spaghetti with lemon vodka sauce

    • Astrid5555 on May 30, 2013

      Quick and delicious. Added lemon zest to up the lemon taste. Will make again!

  • Chicken and porcini pappardelle

    • Astrid5555 on October 03, 2016

      Made this with leftover chicken breast meat from yesterday's whole roast chicken. Very good, quick weeknight dinner, with very little effort required. Husband loved it!

  • Thai poached chicken

    • Dishyrishie on January 09, 2015

      Quick easy and tasty. Great weeknight option.

    • Hellyloves2cook on August 26, 2013

      Made this quickly one afternoon - essentially an easy quick meal to prepare. Serve with Thai rice. My 3 sons loved it! Just wish there was a bit more sauce.

  • Sesame-crusted salmon with preserved lemon and zucchini salad

    • Dishyrishie on March 20, 2017

      Bland and boring. Don't bother

  • Spicy lamb meatball and lentil soup

    • mondraussie on October 01, 2021

      It was OK, but a little too heavy for my taste for dinner. Might be better for lunch.

  • Pork meatballs with Chinese noodles

    • e_ballad on September 05, 2018

      Perfectly fine, but not especially different from another favourite recipe similar to this. Some added veg might be a more rounded meal.

  • Roasted apple and quince pork cutlets

    • e_ballad on April 13, 2020

      A tasty quick midweek meal.

  • Lamb and feta burgers

    • e_ballad on February 23, 2019

      Ok, but not as flavourful as the ingredients would suggest.

  • Simple paella

    • amystar on January 23, 2022

      easy and tasty. i’ve made it multiple times over the years and have made adjustments to suit myself. i use brown onions instead of red. i use two chorizo sausages instead of three. i add chopped red capsicum. i don’t serve with cherry tomatoes if i don’t have them but they add a lovely bright pop to your mouthfuls of delicious rice. this is fab and quick.
