  I love the coconut chicken soup! Go easy on the lemon juice though. Add to your taste. Also i use lime juice instead. Instead of the chile flakes, i add a whole dried chile and then remove it later. Put serving size containers of this in the freezer and you can have it any time.

  The publication date is incorrect, should be 2001. The first edition was published in 1999 (different ISBN).

Notes about Recipes in this book

• Sauerkraut

  • Atipo on January 16, 2012

    So easy, very good and very mild. Keeps well in fridge.

• Roman lentil soup

    We try to have lentils every Monday, and this recipe has made the regular rotation. The fish sauce gives the soup an unusual but delicious flavour. Don’t leave it out! I reckon the fish sauce you use in this recipe would make a big difference to how it turns out. We use Red Boat as it’s just fermented anchovies and salt. The logic was that that seems closest to what would have been used by the Romans way back when.

• Pot roast with chiles

  • cedarmakesthings on September 10, 2014

    This was absolutely delicious. I used a 1.5 pound roast instead of the recommended 3 lbs, though I used the same amount of ingredients. It cooked for just over two hours. I would have liked to have a little more sauce, so I may make extra next time.

• Turkey breakfast sausage

  • Kmatazz on January 31, 2026

    These are excellent - did it as it was written, no changes.

• Crab salad

  • mcvl on June 17, 2015

    Nice combination of flavors.

• Kishk

  • SpatulaClark on March 14, 2020

    Used cracked wheat, and home-made yogurt which had plenty of whey to boost the fermentation. Dried in the oven over several hours, but make sure to leave the door open a crack to let out steam! Keeps well in the fridge, so make a decent batch and pull it out for snacks, sprinkles or soup.

• Pumpkin pie

    I still can't believe that Sally Fallon wrote "canned" pumpkin, instead of roasting a pumpkin yourself.
