Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Baked cod with Greek potatoes

    • saladdays on January 12, 2012

      This is a delicious way of cooking cod and the potatoes are superb, not something to be cooked in a hurry though, the potatoes are a long time cooking but worth the wait.

  • Stuffed cabbage in the Troo style

    • dtremit on January 12, 2016

      A wonderful dish. This recipe, reprinted in the NYT, alerted me to this cookbook. The sausage and cabbage cook down beautifully; the sausage ends up perfectly cooked despite not being browned, and the cabbage is sweet and rich. I did not blanch the cabbage, but rather microwaved it briefly; this leaves it with more volume and texture. My only criticism is the portion -- as written, it's far too much food for us. Next time, I'll make a half batch in a smaller dish. That said, the leftovers are nice with some buttered noodles, or make a good base for carrot soup.

  • Tiramisu

    • Kinhawaii on December 27, 2018

      Have made this many times combining it with the cooked egg technique of Cook's Illustrated version. Or added the amaretto & marsala to the Cook's version. More popular than with rum.

  • Chocolate and raspberry pudding cake with chocolate ganache

    • Kinhawaii on April 24, 2023

      Same recipe as in Tamasin’s Weekend Food- left comment there since that version has weights in my book. Delicious!

Publishers Text

Slow-cooked food and what the author likes to call 'good tempered food', is that proper cooking is all about. In fact it's the chief pleasure of cooking. It's about re-uniting yourself with a sense of pleasure in the kitchen, rediscovering that 'slow' or 'time-taken' doesn't mean difficult. This is a hugely underrated pleasure in its own right.
