Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Char-grilled tuna with warm coriander and caper vinaigrette

    • CourtneyT on May 06, 2024

      I completely forgot I had this cookbook and I'm so glad this simple recipe showed up on today's search. Quick, easy and fresh! Will certainly keep this in mind for future meals when I need a fast result.

  • Roasted salmon fillets with a crusted pecorino and pesto topping

    • Cheesepiggy on May 31, 2016

      Worked very well. The salmon cooked in 12 mins (don't like salmon 'just ' cooked) but very moist and lovely pesto topping.

  • Shepherd's pie with cheese-crusted leeks

    • JennyR on January 16, 2014

      I find it better if you soften the leeks in butter before adding.

    • adrienneyoung on December 29, 2013

      Wonderful. Better with a hit of worcestershire sauce and better without the frizzled leeks.

    • Allie80 on November 19, 2017

      Agree with JennyR, better to soften the leeks first, I then stir through the mash rather than placing on top.

    • TLouise on December 30, 2020

      A nice dish which I would make again. I wish I had read these comments before making it however as softened leeks would have been better and worcestershire sauce was definitely needed. I served with a side of Savoy Cabbage, peas and pancetta which made up for the pie being a little bland.

    • Robrien on June 23, 2021

      This is a family favourite. We don't bother with the leeks, substitute beef for lamb and add mushrooms. It is a good comfort food.

  • Fast roast pork with rosemary and caramelised apples

    • Nichill on November 30, 2024

      Very successful. Did half quantity (single 650g tenderloin) using Ninja Foodi 750 on Steam Roast setting for 18 mins on 180 degrees. Slightly upped the garlic and rosemary for modern palates. Really impressed with how succulent the meat was with this treatment. Flavours and overall dish was great. We served with blanched then sautéed sprout tops and mashed potato.

  • Chicken cacciatora

    • eliza on October 02, 2017

      I've made this many times. Very easy and tastes great too. I use canned tomatoes if I don't have fresh ones. It freezes well too. Recipe is available on Delia's website.

  • Broad-bean salad with pancetta and sherry vinegar

    • Thermomixit on January 05, 2019

      Delicious! Take the skin off the broad beans.

  • Entrecôte steak with crème fraîche and cracked pepper sauce

  • Gooseberry yoghurt fool

    • Pamsy on July 03, 2023

      Lovely light summer dessert. Used half custard, half Greek yogurt.

  • Apple and almond crumble

    • Pamsy on January 24, 2024

      Enjoyed the cinnamon and cloves added to the apples. First time using both Bramley's and Cox's together in a crumble, it's a good combination as they cook up slightly differently. All in all, a good winter pudding.

  • Toasted goats' cheese with blackened sherry-vinegar onions

    • stepharama1 on February 07, 2024

      This a delicious version of a classic recipe. I really liked the mix of sherry and balsamic vinegars.
