Notes about Recipes in this book

• Honey's raspberry turnovers

  • TLouise on December 27, 2020

    Great easy recipe. Don't use frozen fruit or they end up a little soggy.

• Crisp, maple-sugared bacon with oven hash browns and poached eggs

  • Melanie on March 02, 2014

    The hash browns were great! It took a while to bring them together so probably wouldn't make regularly. The maple syrup bacon was okay but only okay - not worth a repeat. Instead of poached eggs I went with scrambled.

• Maple and blueberry sticky buns

  • Melanie on March 02, 2014

    Definitely sticky! Very moist, I didn't need to drizzle with the extra syrup as I found that they didn't need it. Use a pastry scraper when working the dough as it is quite sticky. Worked well in the muffin tin even though the pinwheels didn't look that great. I substituted dried currants for the blueberries which worked really well.

• Cheddar cornbread muffins

  • Melanie on March 02, 2014

    Very good - best served warm within a day or so of baking. I ate these with one of the Bill Granger tomato chutney recipes. I substituted mozzarella for part of cheddar cheese (mozzarella went into the batter and I used cheddar for the centre). I also subbed lemon and milk for the buttermilk.

• Popovers

  • Barb_N on January 25, 2026

    I made these without the parmesan as it was my first foray into popover territory, despite having a popover pan that has never been used but is now vintage. They deflated the second they came out of the oven which is to be expected but still disappointing. I need to work out the timing as they should come out of the oven just before serving. Unfortunately, all the other components were already ready to serve when they went in the oven.

• Glazed cabbage

  • Barb_N on November 14, 2015

    I adapted this recipe heavily; well I used the same ingredients but roasted cabbage wedges with liquid to accompany cider braised pork. Tasty and simple.
