Notes about Recipes in this book

• Honey miso salmon with warm salad

  • Agaillard on February 25, 2018

    Just did this for lunch, it was easy, nice and tasty :) Has now become a comfortable salmon classic. I usually overcook it just a notch to have one side of honey-ish miso crust - miam!

• Tomato, asparagus & prosciutto tart

  • Agaillard on January 14, 2018

    Lovely looking savoury tart, original and delicious! I shaped the ham to look like little flowers, so that with the red circles of the tomatoes, and the green stems of the asparagus, it looked like a little garden :) It tasted great too, although I think I put too much garlic towards the size of my pie, but that was only a minor issue. I will make again. I had substituted the ricotta which I didn't have with a mix of cancoillotte and mascarpone, and parmesan with cheddar. I think the first substitution accounted for a smoother texture.

• Chickpea fritters with courgette salad

  • jammydodger on June 20, 2014

    Really tasty and light, but there's no way this serves four, unless you're having it for lunch, perhaps, or have tiny appetites. Even three would be a stretch. Still I would definitely cook it again, especially if I have a couple of courgettes to use up.

    I loved the chickpea pancakes, which are pretty original. The courgette salad is more of a standard thing, courgette, feta and mint, but is nice. The proportions seem off -> I halved the recipe and ended up with about 10 fritters/pancakes which is I think too much for two and a tiny portion of courgettes which is barely a portion for 1 - you need at least one courgette per person especiallly as they will shrink during cooking.

• Sweet pea salad

  • babyfork on April 07, 2022

    I'm not rating this recipe because I just used it as a guide. I mixed about 2 parts sour cream to 1 part mayo. Added some champagne vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper, and finely chopped chives and mint. I blanched some fresh English peas and mixed them with some of the sauce for a cold pea salad. Very good...I'd make this again.

• Potato & smoked trout salad with mustard dressing

  • chezlarios on March 12, 2022

    Good, quick, and healthy.

• Chopped tarragon, bacon & chicken salad

  • Agaillard on May 29, 2026

    Interesting and original combination of ingredients (peas and avocado and celery in the same salad?) but it works! Very healthy. Will probably make again. I used cider vinegar as I didn't have white balsamic or white wine one, but overall the sauce is pretty standard.

• Feelgood flapjacks

  • eeeve on October 19, 2021

    These were surprisingly good, I loved the plump raisins. Definitely a "healthy" vibe as opposed to the traditional rich one. Found them a bit too moist at the bottom, next time would flip the whole cake out onto a baking sheet and double bake for another 10 minutes or something.
