Notes about this book

  • Melyinoz on November 29, 2020

    I made Amanda's slice GF by converting flour to 4g baking powder, 46g tapioca flour and 100g brown rice flour. They weren’t close to ready at the first time it is suggested to check, but the extra five minutes saw them become burnished. Hopefully this isn’t a bad thing and just adds extra depth of flavour.

    I totally agree with Sparkles75 on the Amanda slice. I initially didn’t engage much with this book but it has certainly rewarded me for going back and having a serious look at it. The wilted spinach recipe p114 is also a winner.

    Pg 232 Amanda's Slice. In my opinion worth the price of the book. Simple, delicious and a winner with everyone who has tried it

Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Vegetarian roast pumpkin sort-of-salad, with optional roast chicken

    • luluf on September 06, 2021

      Everything I’ve made from this book has been delicious and this is no exception. The turmeric dressing and hummus make a great combination. I marinated my own feta 2 days in advance. We have it with leftover roast chicken which we just leave off for the vegetarians. The pumpkin/squash is beautifully chewy

  • Mushroom tart

    • luluf on September 06, 2021

      Mushroom tart -super easy and super delicious: it’s a mushie tarte tatin without the caramel

      Easy and delicious dinner. Served with orzo and added extra feta. Yum!!

  • Puttanesca-baked white fish

    • luluf on September 06, 2021

      Puttanesca-baked white fish.I expected that this would taste great and it did I’ll certainly make it again, it’s also very easy

    • Barb_N on October 21, 2022

      This is slightly more work than my back pocket baked fish recipe, but what a payoff! This was flavorful and visually appealing too. Definitely will be a repeat, especially as the ingredients are available year round. Returning to this recipe and noticed an error: ingredient list has tomatillos instead of tomatoes. If anyone else cooks just based on the EYB ingredient list, this a snafu
