Notes about Recipes in this book

• Sweetcorn soup with fried tortilla topping

  • JoD on May 20, 2014

    Not our favourite sweetcorn soup - everyone ate it but didn't go back for seconds.

• Spiced apple & yoghurt soup

  • JoD on May 12, 2014

    This soup sounds unusual and my teenaged daughter wasn't keen to try it when she knew what was in it. The two boys really liked it and weren't fazed when I told them it had apples & yoghurt in it. Would definitely make it again. My suggestion to help the yoghurt not to split is to have it at room temperature, and whisk 1/4 of the hot soup into the yoghurt before whisking in the yoghurt mixture to the rest of the hot soup. I also made it with dried mint as I had started on the soup before realising my mint had retired for winter and I wasn't going to make a special trip to get more. I imagine the soup would taste even better with fresh mint.

• Shrewsbury biscuits

    I was wondering about the richness of this recipe, it has 240g of butter and 2 cups of sugar in it, but the biscuits are absolutely delicious. The recipe says it makes fourteen 8cm biscuits, but I got a dozen 7cm biscuits and about forty 5cm biscuits out of the recipe. I will definitely make them again.
