Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Sardine pasta with lemon breadcrumbs

    • Indio32 on September 25, 2020

      Made this with Swiss chard and homemade pasta. Wasn't quite sure what to expect but was pleasantly surprised. The lemon toasted breadcrumbs really made this dish in my opinion!

  • Sesame noodle salad

    • eeeve on October 18, 2021

      This was great! I didn't have spring onions in, but sliced a couple leftover boiled broccoli florets in, and sprinkled with chopped red chilli, as no coriander and mint either. Also kept it veggie by omitting the chicken and replacing with cold omelette strips. Lovely! So quick! Will make again.

  • Spicy braised fennel, served with sausages

    • eeeve on January 09, 2021

      We liked this, it's not a spectacular dish, but fine for speedy suppers. Made with vegan sausages, veg stock instead of white wine and a can of tomatoes instead of fresh. I think that fresh tomatoes would probably have been nicer, I found the dish almost too saucy with all the liquid from the can. White wine also recommended. We had with a small green salad on the side. I think mashed potatoes might go well with the dish.
