Notes about Recipes in this book

• Quinoa crusted salmon

  • ChelseaP on July 08, 2022

    This was a nice and slightly unusual way to serve salmon, we enjoyed it.

• Christmas Bakewell

  • maggiebeerfan on December 26, 2013

    This is a great recipe for Christmas as it uses Christmas mincemeat, but is a different approach being a slice. It is quite delicious.

  • ChelseaP on May 31, 2021

    Delicious and so festive! Looks spectacular with the red and green glacé cherries on top.

• Black Forest roulade

  • RosieB on January 03, 2014

    This was fantastic. Be prepared for a very rich dessert. Although there are several stages to the recipe it is pretty simple. My ganache split but retrieved it by using an electric hand mixer on medium speed and beating in some more cream.

• Iceberg, orange & hazelnut salad

  • RosieB on April 20, 2016

    This was a nice refreshing salad served with simple pan fried salmon. The pomegranate molasses made the salad slightly brown but it was very tasty.

• Spiced eggplant & peanut salad

  • ChelseaP on August 05, 2021

    Spicy, creamy and delicious. This is a keeper. Makes a huge batch.

    Spicy, creamy and delicious. This is a keeper. Makes a huge batch.

• Caramelised onion & lentil soup

  • ChelseaP on May 31, 2021

    This is so delicious and comforting to me. It’s a go to soup I make any time someone is under the weather.

• Rhubarb butterscotch layer cake

  • RosieB on October 10, 2015

    This cake was delicious. It might look complicated but you can make the caramel while the cake is cooking and pre bake the rhubarb. I used much more rhubarb than the recipes suggests. I would not skimp on the rhubarb as this is the star of the cake. I also added some fleur de sel salt to the left over caramel for pouring over when serving and I also sprinkled some grains on the top to finish. It was a big hit. Definitely make again for a dessert or special occassion cake.

• Sweet sweet muffins

  • ChelseaP on July 07, 2022

    Great base muffin recipe to then add in whatever you fancy.

• Roasted parsnip & spicy lentil salad

  • JoD on August 01, 2021

    A delicious salad, great for a pot luck dinner. I used chilli jam instead of sweet chilli sauce which made it quite hot but it was still delicious.

• Greek coconut & lemon syrup cake

  • semaphoredm on November 19, 2022

    too much water in the syrup. just use a splash. can be made without the meringue topping, and eaten as a syrup cake.

• Lao green cucumber salad with sticky rice

  • HadleyF on December 26, 2024

    Beautiful accompaniment to grilled seafood or meats

• Butter chicken, raita & pilaf

  • RosieB on August 22, 2014

    This is a great recipe really tasty and no unusual ingredients. You need to marinate the chicken first which I did in the morning. The pilaf and raita were good accompaniments. Definately will make again.

  • ChelseaP on May 31, 2021

    Such a great weeknight dinner. All you have to do is marinate the chicken in advance and then the rest of it comes together quickly.

• Orange & almond cake

  • ReaderBeth on January 20, 2026

    Large cake with 9 large eggs

• Beaver's "let them pig out" ribs

  • Fiona on October 31, 2012

    A friend told me how good these were and she was right. I'd never cooked ribs before but tasted many and these were as good, if not better, than any I've been served. I cooked them for longer than recommended so leave enough time to add on some if the meat isn't really tender. I served with coleslaw and baked potato.

• Nutty slaw

  • RosieB on January 03, 2014

    I have only had this book for a few weeks and I have made this salad twice. It was a hit with everyone. A nice variation to the traditional coleslaw. I put in more nuts than the recipe suggested.

• Raw energy

  • ChelseaP on August 05, 2021

    The classic OG raw energy salad. It's so easy and fresh. Makes a huge bowl and is always great for a crowd/as a BBQ side.

• Basil dressing

  • hillsboroks on July 03, 2024

    This was a quick, easy but very flavorful dressing to use on whatever vegetables you have on hand to make a delicious salad that is a bit out of the ordinary.

• Caesar dressing

  • RosieB on February 18, 2018

    This is one of the best and most versatile dressings. I made half quantity which was heaps with left overs I used as a spread on flat breads. I only used 6 anchovies.
