Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Salmon and beurre blanc

    • Charlotte_vandenberg on January 04, 2019

      This was my first time making a beurre blanc sauce. I was a little anxious, but the recipe was easy and the result was delicious. We prepared the salmon Sous Vide, so not according to the recipe. Served with rice as suggested, and stir fried spinach.

  • Garlic prawns and asparagus

    • Charlotte_vandenberg on April 17, 2017

      Super easy, used green asparagus tips, could have used more asparagus.

  • Garam masala

    • Christine on May 14, 2016

      I needed a tablespoon of garam masala for another recipe, but didn't have any on hand, so made a half batch of this spice mix. I can't vouch for its authenticity, but since I don't have a spice grinder or most of the whole spices other recipes called for, I opted for this simple version rather than another trip to the store. It worked very well in the other recipe and I would make it again in a pinch.

  • Rogan josh

    • Charlotte_vandenberg on June 16, 2020

      Needed much more time: I ended up putting everything in the pressure cooker and than reducing the sauce in a normal pan. After that the result was amazing!

  • Intense chocolate mousse with cacao nibs

    • pennyvr on March 29, 2017

      Easy and delicious. I loved the cacao nibs but my partner wasn't a fan. I ate some rage next day and the nibs had gone chewy - also nice but quite a different texture.
