Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Ricotta hotcakes with honeycomb butter

    • Melanie on January 01, 2012

      p18. Yum. Light and fluffy pancakes. Next time I need to remember to whisk the egg whites with an electric beater - doing it by hand is not fun first thing in the morning!

    • Hellyloves2cook on May 13, 2014

      These were quite nice, much prefer them with maple syrup though. The honeycomb butter didn't do it for me.

  • Sweetcorn fritters with roast tomato & bacon

    • Melanie on February 06, 2016

      Made the fritters only - tasty enough but I think I included too much batter.

    • pomona on December 31, 2018

      This is a great recipe. The technique of adding batter to the other fritter ingredients until they just hold together is a great one. I've made modified versions with different spices and different veg, also with diced ham. It's a versatile 'fridge contents' recipe.

  • Honeycomb butter

    • Melanie on January 01, 2012

      p18. For the honeycomb I simply sliced the chocolate sections off a crunchie bar. I then crushed the honeycomb and combined with the butter and honey. No need to use the food processor.

  • Coconut bread

    • Melanie on January 01, 2012

      p26. A nice sweet bread/cake. Simple to put together. Tastes nice with lime marmalade as suggested in recipe.

    • Breadcrumbs on March 01, 2015

      p. 30 – A lovely moist breakfast bread. I subbed coconut milk for regular milk to give the loaf a further coconut flavour boost and the end result was quite yummy. BG suggests the bread (which is more like a cake really) can be toasted but we just enjoyed it straight up for breakfast. I do think it would be quite nice with a lime marmalade atop though so there may be a toasted slice in my future. Coconut always reminds me of the Caribbean so suffice to say this recipe made the house smell a little bit irie on a raw winter's day!

    • Hellyloves2cook on May 13, 2014

      A very nice recipe that is more cakey than bread. Toasted it is delicious. I have eaten this in his restaurant several times in Sydney many years ago when I lived there. Great to recapture those good times at home:-)

    • KarinaFrancis on October 27, 2013

      Very nice, I made it for a friend visiting from Jamaica and it got a big thumbs up

    • rstuart on April 29, 2014

      Wonderful recipe.. I have made this a few times, and it's very reliable and tasty!

  • Banana maple porridge with buttered apples

    • Melanie on August 03, 2011

      p33. By cooking the banana and oats together, the end porridge tastes amazing! So much better than porridge with bananas on top!

  • Iced cinnamon snail rolls

    • Melanie on January 01, 2012

      p41. Really easy to make and they taste really good. I drizzled them with the icing as soon as they came out of the oven so it sank into the top very nicely - more of a glaze than a stiff icing. Also need milk, eggs and sugar (white, brown and icing).

  • Vanilla-poached apricots

    • Hellyloves2cook on May 13, 2014

      Simple way to use those fresh sweet apricots we get here in New Zealand.

  • Potato and feta pancakes

    • Melanie on January 01, 2012

      p45. Really good. I made these for dinner one night to serve with salad. Took a while to grate the potatoes but easy to prepare. Need flour, eggs, onion, lemons.

  • Scrambled eggs

    • Hellyloves2cook on May 21, 2012

      Bills famous scrambled eggs are delicious - only way I make them now!

    • KarinaFrancis on October 27, 2013

      The definitive scrambled egg recipe! I've claimed them as my own I've made them so often

    • MmeFleiss on October 23, 2017

      Who knew plain scrambled eggs could be so sublime?

  • Puy lentil soup with Parmesan toasts

    • jacbates on August 20, 2014

      Excellent soup - 8 minutes in the pressure cooker!

    • Melanie on January 01, 2012

      p74. Pretty impressive but low effort (takes about an hour to cook). Reheats really well so you could make this ahead.

  • Parmesan toasts

    • Melanie on January 01, 2012

      p74. Super easy. Need some garlic, oil, salt, pepper. Served with the lentil soup.

  • Goat's curd and lentil salad with roasted beetroot

  • Granny Mac's shortbread

    • Melanie on November 05, 2013

      p118. Very easy to make. These stay nice and soft. I used raspberry jam.

  • Nectarine and plum tart

    • Melanie on February 06, 2016

      Made this with nectarines only, we thought it was delicious with ice cream.

  • Baked snapper with lemon-roasted potatoes and fennel chilli relish

    • Hellyloves2cook on May 21, 2012

      made this for the first time 11 years ago for friends while living in UK. I used sea bass however as there was no snapper available. A very light summery dish packed with flavour.

  • Lemon-roasted potatoes

    • e_ballad on November 18, 2017

      There was only a hint of lemon, where I’d been hoping for a hit. Otherwise a good spud recipe.

  • Poached salmon with green-bean salad, tomato and anchovy dressing

    • CarltonCaz on May 12, 2016

      Absolutely love this recipe. Simple to make, great for mid-week.
