Notes about Recipes in this book

• Ham salad sandwich spread

  • IowanCorn on March 06, 2024

    Not a fan of pickles myself, but the two in the family that like ham salad said that this was a good serviceable recipe for sandwiches. I only used a half cup of relish, since that's all we had, but it was more than enough. Make sure you ground it fine enough otherwise it will fall apart too easily when you put it on the bread.

• Cream of cauliflower soup

  • bellatavia on February 08, 2012

    I actually found this soup a little bland, with the proportion of cream to cauliflower off (too much cream). Using a liter of half and half and a can of chicken broth as the recipe calls for, I recommend 1.5 or 2 heads of cauliflower (rather than one), and I suggest roasting the cauliflower--it adds a bit more depth than boiling. The nutmeg, butter and pepper are all nice calls on Anderson's part.

• Ham and sausage loaf with capers and lemon

  • IowanCorn on June 29, 2025

    This is alright. The ham gives the most flavor so you need to have a flavorful ham, which I don't think I had the best. It was easy to put together, but you will need a large loaf pan as there is a lot of mix in this recipe. Fortunately, I put a sheet pan on the rack below the loaf pan, since some of the juice/grease overflowed. It is not a dry loaf at all, but still held its shape when sliced. If I need a ham loaf for anything, this would work nicely.

• Salmon loaf with fresh dill and sweet red pepper

  • IowanCorn on June 05, 2024

    This is really good! Very moist, even after a couple days as leftovers. In fact, I only cooked it for an hour, and it could have gone a little longer. Very flavorful, with balanced complex flavors of dill, red pepper and fish. I used one can of salmon and one of mackerel, which worked really well. Instead of cucumber or lemon sauce, we just used commercial tarter sauce, which was fine. The texture is more towards a pate than a beef/pork meatloaf.

• Four onion tart with smoky bacon

  • bellatavia on February 17, 2026

    This is absolutely delicious. The crust was a bit tricky to work with (took forever to soften after it had been in the fridge), but baked up very nicely. Perfect for a brunch buffet, or a lunch with salads.

• Banana-walnut bread with lemon

  • IowanCorn on December 01, 2025

    I'd almost call this a nut banana bread, rather than a banana nut bread, because it's very nut forward. The banana is there, but the walnuts, being finally ground, permeate the bread. It was easily put together, especially if you have issues chopping things. A thick slice with butter, with a cup of tea, was really tasty.

• Blueberry cobbler with whole-wheat topping

  • nutrica6 on August 08, 2024

    Perfect summer dessert! I didn't have quite enough blueberries (need 3lb) so ended up supplementing with cherries and it worked out perfectly. This dessert is awesome with some coconut ice cream. I was happy with the way it set, not too runny. The best bites are the dough-y topping ones!
