Notes about Recipes in this book

• Grated rainbow salad, sesame feta fritters

  • Delys77 on August 25, 2014

    Wouldn't likely repeat this one. The beets essentially turn the whole thing into a purple mess, and the dressing isn't flavourful enough to dress all the veg, pita, and couscous. I would add some garlic, and perhaps some sumac. Also the pita chips could have some seasoning on them. The little feta and sesame fritters however were very good.

• Sicilian squash & chickpea stew

  • Delys77 on January 07, 2014

    Pg. 28 This dish take about an hour and a half but there is not a huge amount of busy time. other than chopping the onion and squash there isn't a tonne of work, and the rest consists of slow sauteeing and simmering. I did find the flavours nice but as per usual with Jamie he was very loose with his instructions on the amount of raisins and olives required. Both are quite flavourful so I went with a small handful and in both cases I wanted a bit more sweet raising and pungent olive in the final dish. Also, the dish was just right for us with 3/4 tsp of chilli flakes.

  • eeeve on October 17, 2018

    Quite tasty, but nothing spectacular - though a weeknight dish probably doesn't have to be. Agree with previous review that there's not too much work involved, and I really liked the salty olives in the sweetly spiced stew. I didn't bother with the crispy squash skin and seeds topping, somehow that didn't appeal to me. Neither did putting in the liquid from the can of chickpeas! I just added a splash more water. Might repeat this recipe, it's a good store cupboard kinda dish to have on hand.

• Hungover noodles

  • Varundel on April 19, 2015

    A delicious, quick and satisfying lunch or supper dish. Was sceptical about boiling the vegetables with the noodles rather than stir-frying but it worked a charm and the dressing is packed with flavour.

• Squash & spinach pasta rotolo

  • KarinaFrancis on October 28, 2013

    A winner. Not as effort intensive as it seems and totally worth it.

  • TeamZoRo on November 22, 2016

    I made this with bought pasta sheets and found it hard to roll them up nicely... They kept breaking up!

  • FJT on October 16, 2017

    Made with RP's gluten-free lasagna sheets. This was easy to put together and very tasty - all the flavours came through beautifully. Next time I will probably add a good pinch of chilli flakes to the tomato sauce.

  • Florafauna on August 14, 2020

    I didn't have fresh pasta sheets so made this recipie into a lasagne. We are vegan so I omitted the feta cheese and used a little roux of plain flour, soya milk and nutritional yeast in with the spinach but I think it will be fine without. It was very tasty and a good combination of flavours, it will be on our rotation :)

  • TLouise on December 27, 2020

    Not impressed with this recipe. Seemed like alot of effort for a mediocre outcome. Maybe it would be better and easier as a lasagne.

• Squash rigatoni

  • Delys77 on November 08, 2015

    Not a winner for us. Far too starchy and sweet.

  • CarlBoddy on October 10, 2017

    Used roasted butternut squash. Not too sweet, just about right. Added a grate of nutmeg and a tablespoon of leftover ricotta. It looks thick but becomes saucy when you add the reserved pasta water.

  • K_Simpz on January 14, 2022

    I make this with goats cheese rather than blue and it's a firm favourite

• Giant veg rösti, poached eggs, spinach, and peas

  • moniquerose on November 10, 2013

    I love this dish. It's simple and filling for a brunch/lunch dish (though I've made it for dinner, too!). I grate my carrot/potato manually - if using a box grater, use the smaller holes as it makes a crispier rosti. I prefer to spread the rosti over two baking trays. The pea, spinach and feta is a great acompaniment, but I use an oil, white wine vinegar and dijon mustard dressing on the peas instead of the lemon one Jamie suggests.

  • eliza on December 30, 2013

    Really liked it! I streamlined by letting the salted veg sit in a strainer to drain (saves another bowl to clean later), and also used 2 baking sheets to cook it. I made 2 changes, one was to use edamame for some of the peas, and the other was to put the salad and feta on top and to bake in the oven a few more minutes before adding the eggs. Will make again.

  • MariaPereira on October 02, 2022

    Easy, tasty and healthy. I loved it.

• Sweet potato & spinach frittata

  • Delys77 on March 07, 2014

    Pg. 56 Very easy and super flavourful. My one major quibble is the amount of sweet potatoes. I went with 1 average sweet potato and I had plenty. Plus Jamie would have you roast whole potatoes for 50 minutes, but I found it easier to simply cube them up, season and roast. I also simply baked in a pie plate at 350 fro about 30 minutes. Turned out just right.

  • TLouise on February 02, 2021

    I found this to be quite bland. If I did make it again I would increase the feta, decrease the spinach and add spring onions.

• Aubergine daal, handmade chapatis

  • Delys77 on November 04, 2014

    Pg. 58 This was a real winner for us. The eggplants almost turns into a slightly sweet smokey relish with which to top the delicious dal. Both coming together to give the impression of a rich and savoury dinner that is actually quite light and healthful. I did make a few modifications however. 1. I didn't make the roti and just served with a bit more rice. 2. Following this approach I had 5 good sized servings. 3. I don't like curry leaves so I added a bit of ginger and garlic to the tempering oil, along with 1 bird chilli, which was just right for us. 4. I would go with 7 cups of water as I had to simmer uncovered a bit longer to reduce the 8 cups and the texture suffered a bit. 5. I used a rogan josh sauce as opposed to paste so I went with about 4 heaping tablespoons before cooking and another 2 to 3 after cooking to flavour the eggplant a bit more aggressively.

  • lou_weez on October 23, 2017

    This was delicious and enjoyed by the whole family. Some differences were the fact I was pressed for time so didn't get to caramelize the eggplant and as my family doesn't like this vegetable I cooked, pureed and added it to the daal and no-one was any wiser! I also didn't bother with the roti, but next time would add baby spinach at the end of the dish.

• The best cauliflower & broccoli cheese

  • KarinaFrancis on November 24, 2013

    Made this for a thanksgiving dinner and it was a hit, even with someone who didn't like cauliflower. Very nice variation on a standard cauliflower cheese.

  • lorraine_ovhpjb on June 08, 2026

    Seemed a bit watery. Maybe because I used frozen broccoli to make up for the amount of cauliflower that was needed. I sprinkled some Parmesan on top

• Beetroot fritters, dressed lentils & leaves

  • FJT on January 29, 2015

    These fritters were an epic fail - couldn't get them to hold together in the frying pan and ended up as mush. It might be because I had to use gluten-free flour, but I seriously doubt it. Won't be making these again.

  • JennyR on October 16, 2015

    Love these fritters, add a wee bit more flour than recipe calls for and substitute feta for the cottage cheese and they are just gorgeous. succesfully made gluten free too.

• Pasta peperonata

  • anna_66imxn on February 19, 2026

    Really good basic pasta sauce Have added chorizo multiple times as well

• Singapore noodles

  • Delys77 on December 30, 2013

    Pg. 50 Not a bad use for leftover chicken but I think the recipe needs some jazzing up. The pork, chicken, and shrimp combo is nice but all of the seasonings need to be increased a bit and I would definitely add some chili oil or actual chilies to the dish while cooking, not just as garnish. Lastly, he has you season with soy but I think the dish actually requires a bit soy or other liquid in during the cooking. Perhaps a touch of stock, light soy, and shaoshing wine.

  • eliza on March 28, 2015

    Looking for a recipe to use up roast chicken I picked this one. I did omit some of the ingredients as I felt that chicken, pork, shrimp, eggs, and peanuts over complicated it so I chose just chicken and peanuts. Liked the ginger and curry with five spice combo and added a bit of extra liquid and hot sauce at the end. Also, I reduced the cabbage by about half and still had plenty of veggies. A pretty quick meal once the prep is done.

  • eeeve on December 07, 2020

    Vaguely followed this recipe plus below notes to make a vegetarian version. Used mushrooms, courgette, cabbage and peas for vegetables, and only eggs for protein. Think some tofu would have been nice but didn't have any in. Agree that it needed some soy while cooking. Also seasoned finished dish with hot sauce. The taste was nice, but I thought it was all a little dry. DH thought it was great.

• Frenchie salad

  • KarinaFrancis on February 27, 2019

    We had half a roast chicken leftover and I remembered this recipe from the TV series and I’m glad I did. I used a can of chickpeas instead of cooking lentils. Delicious, will become a regular I think

• Chicken pie

  • Delys77 on January 08, 2014

    Tasty little stew which is easily converted into a pie by topping with some store bought pastry. I was out of thyme so I used a bit of dry tarragon and rosemary.

• Chicken stew & dumplings

  • joneshayley on September 24, 2019

    Delicious use of leftover chicken. Hearty and flavourful. Added parsley to the dumplings.

• Roast chicken & sweet pea risotto

  • saladdays on April 28, 2014

    A good, moist risotto making use of left-over roast chicken, needs seasoning well as it is made with a quick chicken carcass stock to which has nothing else is added. Unfortunately I didn't have any left-over wine but I'm sure an added glass would enhance the taste.

• Chicken & chorizo paella

  • Delys77 on August 21, 2014

    Pg. 98 I increased the Chicken to 4 thighs and the chorizo to 4 oz (1 sausage). This was a very good little dish, with the lovely valencia rice plumping up perfectly in the allotted time, while still retaining it's shape and texture. I would probably brown the sausage a little first, which might allow you to go with a bit less oil, then add the rest of the ingredients. This would also impart more of the sausage's flavour to the dish. On the whole, very easy and very good.

  • Jane on April 24, 2020

    I liked this a lot. It was very quick and easy to prep. I could not get paella rice anywhere so had to use long grain. Maybe because of this, it took 10 minutes longer than Jamie's times for the rice to be cooked.

  • tracy_8uvmla on April 28, 2026

    I made this for my fussy eater, at the end I took out a portion for my fussy eater then added seafood tasted delicious

• Hit 'n' run traybaked chicken

  • sharifah on April 10, 2014

    Nice dish - quick to assemble for a weeknight dinner. Combo of smoked paprika, balsamic vinegar and veggie juices makes a nice sauce.

  • redjanet on July 23, 2014

    Easy, tasty and healthy dish. Great flavours for summer or anytime. I wouldn't quite say it is "hit 'n' run" as between the chopping and cooking it takes over an hour, but it is easy to do and once you're finished prepping you can relax while it is cooking away in the oven and making your house smell nice.

  • Kitchenangel on August 27, 2014

    I personally do find this a quick to assemble dish. As it's nearly always in my fridge, I scatter some chorizo throughout for extra taste.

  • eliza on May 15, 2016

    So easy, tasted very good. I subbed in some zucchini for some of the peppers and topped with spinach at the end for even more veggies. Served with quinoa and lentils to soak up the sauce. Took about 20 min to prepare, then all hands off time.

• Sticky chicken, Chinese noodles

  • averythingcooks on January 25, 2018

    THIS.IS.DELICIOUS. I pretty much made as directed (but used only half the black beans because that is the amt I had in the freezer - I'm not sure how crispy they got but they are good). Really the only other differences are that I used slivered yellow and red pepper in place of the cabbage AND added a good splash of my mango pineapple hot pepper sauce to finish. In my quest to make NEW things from every book in my collection, I bypassed lots of favorites for this and I am not sorry !

  • patrick_f85stk on April 28, 2026

    Not bad for a family friendly stir fry but personally found this far too sweet so would suggest going easy on the pineapple. Heaped teaspoon of five spice on the beans also seemed excessive.

• Korean stir-fried rice

  • KarinaFrancis on October 28, 2013

    This is a great base dish. I substituted leftover roast pork for the beef and kim chi instead of cabbage, which made it a bit wetter than a fried rice should be but the flavour was out of this world. So quick and easy for a weekday meal with punch.

  • jammydodger on June 24, 2014

    Really good. I used leftover pulled pork (from Bake Off's Winter Kitchen) and some very manky veg - a courgette and two wrinkly peppers - and aside from affirming that I'm crap at poaching eggs this is an excellent recipe, and a great fall back if you have leftover meat and veg to use up.

  • TLouise on December 27, 2020

    I love this dish and make it all the time with whatever meat needs using up. I have even frozen left over cabbage from our Sunday roast especially to make this recipe later in the week and it still works a treat.

  • Juleslovesgoldies on May 28, 2026

    Wow! First time I’ve made this and won’t be the last. Excellent and very tasty way to use up leftover meat and veggies. We all loved it!

• Fantastic fish tikka curry

  • FJT on October 31, 2013

    Easy to make and very tasty. The vegetable curry would work well on its own.

• Spiced beef tagine

  • eliza on December 21, 2013

    Loved this one. Very easy, tasted great. I used my homemade salt beef which gave great taste. Loved the subtle spicing. Def repeat.

  • Susan_F on April 02, 2014

    Don't think I'd make this again. It was ok but nothing special.

• Happy & hearty Scottish broth

  • saladdays on January 07, 2014

    A good recipe to use up the rest of a joint of lamb, the bones are used to flavour the broth. Jamie suggests cooking the pearl barley separately and adding it to the broth, not sure why. I cooked it in the pot along with all the vegetables. A tasty one pot meal, it says it will feed 6, the portions would be extremely generous. After 2 of eating it for supper there was still enough to eat again and again and freeze some.

  • sjwill82 on March 06, 2018

    Generous portion sizes. Full of flavor. I used left over gravy and potatoes and also cooked the barley all in the same pot. A satisfying winter dinner.

• Mothership Sunday roast brisket

  • Lindalib on March 05, 2014

    This was a hit and relatively simple to prepare. I had hoped to use the leftovers in another recipe, but there were no leftovers. I did use dried rosemary because I didn't have the fresh rosemary the recipe calls for, and it seemed to be just fine.

  • FJT on March 08, 2014

    Super easy to prepare and so effective. I cooked the brisket for 5 hours and it was perfectly pullable ...loving the leftovers! This recipe will be made over and over!

• Sweet pea fish pie

  • FJT on March 08, 2014

    A tasty fish pie. I actually followed the recipe and used frozen fish fillets just to see if it worked but next time I would defrost the fish first and just heat it for a few minutes in the milk as I normally would. Really liked the peas and lemon zest in the potato mash - and will do that whenever I make fish pie in future (I don't normally follow a recipe!)

  • Charlotte_vandenberg on June 02, 2021

    Very nice weeknight dinner. We used salmon, cod and shrimp. Kids loved it too.

  • anya_sf on February 15, 2025

    Really tasty, veggie-packed version of fish pie. I made 1/2 recipe but with the full amount of spinach. Much of the milk either evaporated or was absorbed by the fish while poaching, so I didn't end up with enough for the sauce and had to add more (and also used less flour). I also had to strain the milk to remove bits of fish skin; next time I'll look for skinless fillets.

  • terri_nedgwy on February 01, 2026

    Easy assembly. Loads of veg. Comfort food.

  • angela_woef21 on June 10, 2026

    So tasty. Would 100% make this again. Added Gewurzhaus fish spice (2tsp). Could probably have used a bigger dish in the oven

  • lorraine_ovhpjb on June 09, 2026

    Delicious I actually put some sweet potatoes in as well with the potatoes

• Beef noodle soup

  • jammydodger on June 11, 2014

    Nice enough noodle soup, although maybe the stock could have done with a bit more 'oomph'. Admittedly didn't follow the recipe exactly: only 2 cloves of garlic, hoisin instead of BBQ sauce, shredded ginger from a jar, and I tweaked the veg slightly. The brisket was tasty in it though. Would make again.

  • averythingcooks on January 16, 2024

    I used the flavour profile here (garlic, ginger, chile, star anise etc) to repurpose some leftover roast beef. I did change up some of the veg to take advantage of my crisper and I used a homemade broth with lots of flavour in place of bouillon cubes & water. This is a great example of tasting something that badly needed "brightening up'' and then tasting again after adding some rice vinegar + a good squeeze of lime (which he does call for at the end)...now I had something good.

• Delicious chicken liver Bolognese

  • jammydodger on June 26, 2014

    I love chicken livers, but really don't eat them often enough. This recipe is a great way to use them; they add a savoury flavour that really works with the spaghetti. This recipe is going to become a favourite, I think. Even my fussy toddler tried some (mainly the spaghetti, I admit).

  • Carol.Furness on August 13, 2014

    This recipe is delicious and surprisingly not too strong in liver flavour. Cheap too.....50p for a pack of chicken livers can't be bad.

• Pork meatloaf, spaghetti sauce

  • aargle on October 30, 2014

    We all really enjoyed this recipe - very straightforward and very filling. Added rosemary as per Jamie's suggestion. Definite repeat.

  • Delys77 on February 24, 2015

    Overall pretty good except that I think the loaf would be nicer as meatballs as there would be more chance to brown. Also the carrots seemed odd to me.

  • averythingcooks on October 16, 2023

    I used 1 cup of a garlic basil marinara from the freezer (+ some ground calabrian chiles) for a 1/2 recipe & added some hot Italian sausage to the pork. It seemed like a mountain of fresh bread crumbs, so I added them slowly, using about 1/2 the amt. I actually thought my carrots were overdone by the time I checked the meatloaf but we both declared them to be delicious, eating them beside, rather than mixed in with the meat & sauce. Served with toasted garlic buns rather than pasta, this is real comfort food worth repeating.

  • danielis on March 06, 2018

    This is one of my favourite recipe - the roasted chillis and carrots are so delicious in the sauce.

• Mexican Caesar salad

  • Delys77 on January 12, 2015

    Pg. 110 This wasn't as Mexican as I would have liked, but it was still very good. I would go with much more seasoning for the chicken, that might help in the Mexican department. Also, perhaps a bit of chipotle in the dressing. Otherwise very fresh and tasty and relatively light. I might even consider adding a few croutons to this. Makes about 3 dinner sized servings without bread.

  • MariaPereira on October 02, 2022

    Delicious. Really easy to make.

• Mothership Sunday roast lamb

  • FJT on December 25, 2016

    Made with a 6lb bone-in leg of lamb rather than shoulder. Made this for Christmas dinner (we don't like turkey!) and it was delicious. I didn't add any additional liquid for the final hour of cooking,; it didn't seem to need it and I'd already made Jamie's Get Ahead Gravy recipe (as I do in advance every year) to add to the meat juices. Mint sauce, cabbage and roast potatoes were also excellent plus I roasted some parsnips just for me. Perfect.

• Portuguese fish stew

  • joneshayley on March 07, 2017

    Very easy and tasty midweek recipe

  • dwallis on November 22, 2025

    I liked it but it was very soupy for me!

• Punchy crunchy lamb noodle salad

  • FJT on May 02, 2017

    This was a delicious surprise. I was looking for another way to use up leftover roast lamb (other than shepherd's pie) and came across this dish. The dressing is lovely and everything combined was great. Note to self, next time use a larger bowl!

• BBQ pulled pork, waffles and slaw

  • lou_weez on May 15, 2017

    This was an easy, delicious and naughty way to use up leftover pork. It reminded us of a dish we had at Frank's in Austin, Texas of fried chicken on waffles with bacon and maple syrup...ahhh good times :)

• Beef rendang

  • averythingcooks on January 01, 2018

    I made this using a couple of forgotten beef shanks found during a big freezer re-organization / inventory session and then easily pressure cooked. Very tasty and comforting on a cold night. I must admit as we are 2 "soap tasters", fresh cilantro amounts were (as always) severely limited.

• Pulled pork peppers, easy baked risotto

  • averythingcooks on January 01, 2018

    I use this as my go-to basic stuffed pepper recipe as we prefer this very flavourful meat based filling to the more traditional rice/grain heavy versions. I don't wait for left over pulled pork but rather use the meat from 2 sausages ( really whatever is kicking around in the freezer - but the spicier the better). I also tend to add extra vegetables using up whatever is hanging around (a few grape tomatoes , a handful of corn etc ). I mostly skip the oven risotto and make a green salad on the side. A really easy and delicious week night dinner.

• How to cut up a chicken

  • wester on February 25, 2020

    Basic, but it works.

• Spiced sausage cassoulet

  • wester on April 12, 2020

    Quite basic, quite good. Very robust to ingredient substitution. The family liked it.

  • averythingcooks on October 15, 2019

    Sooooo - after the Canadian thanksgiving weekend....... husband gently suggested "how about anything except turkey tonight??" So I came here. A couple of simple changes included chopped bacon in place of pork belly, slicing the sausages right away into the hot pan, navy beans in place of cannellini and a mix of mild Rotel, passata and chicken broth up to the 3 cup mark. I skipped the oven and let it bubble away on the stove to thicken. Spooned over buttered, toasted and chopped up ciabatta, this was a delicious sausage, veg and beanie one pot supper.

• Smoked ham hocks, parsley sauce

  • eliza on March 18, 2020

    This was an easy way to prepare ham hocks as most of the time it’s cooking in the oven. I would add the vegetables a little later next time as I found them a bit overdone; otherwise it was good. You also get a nice broth which can be used later in soups etc.

• Salmon & scrambled eggs

  • eliza on January 23, 2020

    Very simple, good way to use salmon left over from previous meals. Lemon juice was essential to perk it up.

• Slow-roasted pork ragù

  • FJT on March 29, 2021

    Nice, easy way to use up leftover roast pork. Quick to make and tasty. Will happily make again.

  • etcjm on June 05, 2020

    Made with leftover smoky pulled pork (G Ramsay recipe). Was a bit worried that the rosemary and fennel would overpower and the kids would complain. They didn't and ate it all. It was slightly spicy but I think that was from the heat from the leftover pork rather than the half teaspoon of chilli. Good one to do when you have a mountain of pork and can't face another sandwich - although I STILL didn't use it all!

  • AnnaV on May 02, 2023

    Also very good if made with leftover roast lamb.

  • anna_66imxn on February 19, 2026

    Very fennel heavy

• Pukka yellow curry

  • chawkins on August 20, 2018

    Very mild curry. I used 3/4 t of agave nectar instead of 1t of honey, half water and half chicken broth instead of the chicken bouillon cube in the curry paste and put in a small cut up tomato instead of the tsp of tomato purée.

  • FairiesWearBoots on August 16, 2018

    Lovely curry. I did change it a bit and added extra veg as had a glut of courgettes and tomatoes. Also added some coconut cream as our home grown chillies were rather hot. Yummy.

  • TLouise on April 08, 2024

    My family enjoyed this recipe as written and I would make again

• Mushrooms on toast

  • Rinshin on June 04, 2021

    Total yum! Used toasted light rye bread with comte cheese topped with mushrooms cooked with bacon dripping and truffle butter added. Loved how small amount of balsamic vinegar and fresh thyme enhanced the mushroom flavor. Great lunch with red wine. Photo added.

• Crispy Moroccan lamb pastilla

  • joneshayley on November 11, 2019

    Very nice, full of flavour and enjoyed by the whole family. Makes a small amount of meat go a long way, and served with a salad is a full meal. I’d add chilli flakes for adults, and perhaps a teaspoon of ground coriander

• Crispy pork tacos

  • LizzieLozza on May 19, 2018

    Tom loved this. Could use sour cream instead. Used Hemsley leftover pork.

• Kinda Vietnamese salmon salad

  • LizzieLozza on May 24, 2018

    Add some rice noodles or rice to make more filling

• Mothership Sunday roast pork

  • MariaPereira on October 02, 2022

    not a fan of fennel seeds

  • anna_66imxn on February 19, 2026

    Good basic roast meat, used different sides

• Sausage panzanella

  • averythingcooks on June 24, 2022

    This was a great use for some REALLY ripe plum tomatoes (pureed into the flavourful dressing) & basil from my overflowing deck planter. I did not have black olives so I used extra capers...I also used feta in place of parmesan & the salt level was fine.. I added a few oven roasted baby Yukon golds & some sliced roasted red peppers. With chunks of Italian sausage and whole grape tomatoes in every bite, this was a pretty delicious dinner bowl. One thing....the image I am seeing on the right is not of this recipe.

• Pulled beef salad, kick-ass croutons

  • averythingcooks on June 04, 2024

    I had leftover shredded beef & the end of a loaf of bread to use up and this fit the bill perfectly. Coating the bread cubes in the vinaigrette before baking (this time in the air fryer) is a great idea and for the the veg, I used romaine, red onion, celery & grated carrot. As a blue cheese lover (ie I also added extra chunks to the finished salad), this vinaigrette (with apple cider vinegar, grainy mustard and an equal mix of oil & yogurt) ticked all my boxes. I basically devoured this.

• American hot pizza pie

  • averythingcooks on November 29, 2024

    I used this idea to top a different crust recipe. We had leftover pork roast which I chopped up & tossed with some BBQ sauce, used my own pizza sauce from the freezer and added some sweet peppers strips along with the red onion. We used a mix of mozzarella & cheddar and added the pickled jalapenos after the pizza came out of the oven. We enjoyed this fun & tasty idea for leftover pork.

• Secret steak & chips, garlicky green beans

  • PBling on June 04, 2022

    Worked beautifully for skirt steak. Tender and tasty.

• Jools' sweet pea & prawn pasta shells

  • ARechner on September 13, 2020

    Really tasty and I couldn’t believe how quickly I had dinner on the table! Also very convenient as alI of the ingredients are staples that I keep on hand.

• Salmon filo pie

  • susiec26714 on July 16, 2020

    amazing!!! love how the JO recipes always turn out exactly like they look in the book

• Carbonara of smoked mackerel

  • greenqueen888 on June 19, 2025

    Nice alternative for once in a while. The rosemary worked beautifully with this.

• Super-quick pea and ham soup

  • AnnaV on September 24, 2023

    You won’t find this recipe through the index, but it’s at the bottom of page 188

• Spinach & onion quesadilla

  • Pandan on June 19, 2024

    Cheap and easy dinner idea to use up some frozen spinach. I made 6 large quesadillas using one packet (600g) frozen spinach. Used grated Emmentaler instead of cheddar.

• Banh mi

  • anna_66imxn on February 19, 2026

    Didn't use chicken liver pate but something a bit different with leftovers

• Meatballs alla Norma

  • emily_tmg41q on March 23, 2026

    Steamed the Aubergine in the microwave before sautéing with olive oil, otherwise followed recipe for meatballs & sauce. Used precooked polenta & fried the discs rather than making a creamy mash.
