Notes about Recipes in this book

• Lemongrass and chilli barbecued pork with stir-fried vegetables

  • debkellie on October 10, 2017

    Very tasty ..

• Cajun-spiced pork with braised red cabbage

  • debkellie on February 18, 2016

    This was incredibly tasty - I subbed in pork belly for pork shoulder, and served it with a red cabbage slaw using a hot wholegrain mustard and honey in the dressing. Yum.

• Middle Eastern shepherd's pie with pumpkin and green beans

  • debkellie on July 01, 2015

    Had some pumpkin that needed using up.. this was a tasty find. I used Kent pumpkin which was maybe a bit wet as a topping as it wouldn't crisp up.. but still good.

• Braised lamb shoulder with roast fennel

  • debkellie on September 10, 2015

    very tasty: did this in the slow cooker and blanched my fennel before roasting; served with the cauliflower and parsnip puree.. exceedingly tasty!

• Zingy lemon chicken

  • debkellie on August 15, 2015

    This was delicious.. a surprising combination.

• Simple Thai green fish curry

  • debkellie on January 06, 2017

    Simple & very tasty - I actually poached the fish in the sauce, rather than pan fry with sauce over/

  • treay on September 17, 2024

    I had to change some of the steps and also added coconut milk instead of the flavoured milk.

• Thai-style san choi bao

  • debkellie on December 02, 2017

    Really tasty - I subbed chicken mince for pork... light meal with full flavour!

  • treay on September 17, 2024

    Added onion, celery, shiitake mushrooms and also some other sauces. Made it in combination of recipes from Adam Liaw, Karen Martini and Kylie Kwong.

• Chicken baked in a parcel with mushrooms and cherry tomatoes

  • debkellie on July 30, 2015

    This might benefit from more than the 30 to 60 minutes marination time the recipe suggests to give the fennel a better chance to do its work. It was though still incredibly tasty and a nice "all in one", with the benefit of no washing up of the cooking dish!

• Indian-spiced roast chicken with warm carrot and radish salad

  • treay on November 14, 2024

    The chicken was spicy enough for us, but maybe not the right recipe if you like it very hot. This time I didn't make the carrot salad and instead I served it with the rice and the cucumber raita - one of the best I have eaten so far. The Afghan bread (bought) was also good. Lovely dinner.

• Lamb burekas with fennel and orange salad

  • debkellie on March 18, 2021

    Had some leftover roast lamb in the fridge .. EYB to the rescue.. used "cooked lamb" as a recipe filter, and this one came up in the listing. Amazingly, also had all the other ingredients required.. save for using fresh spinach instead of frozen.. so a great fridge cleanout! And very tasty to boot ;-)

• Parsnip and cauliflower puree

  • debkellie on September 10, 2015

    absolutely delish!

• Roast pumpkin and zucchini salad with blackened corn

  • treay on September 17, 2024

    The dressing was terrible. If I do it again will dress the salad with a balsamic vinaigrette with a splash of pomegranate molasses

• Apple and rhubarb crumble with honey, oats and hazelnuts

  • debkellie on June 25, 2021

    Easy dessert/breakfast crumble. I added an extra cup of a toasted muesli to the topping - as written it wasn't sufficient to cover the large dish I chose (rather than individual serves).
