Notes about Recipes in this book

• Spicy carrot salad

  • eeeve on April 08, 2020

    Made without fish sauce to keep it vegetarian; also didn't "massage" the honey/oil into the carrots. The dish was just okay for us - adequate but not nice enough that we'd repeat it. Prefer carrot salads with orange/cumin flavours.

• Boy George's steamed asparagus with pumpkin-seed salsa verde

  • Stantonjulie on April 30, 2021

    I realised no capers so used 2 pickled onions, pickled gherkins and 2 guindilla chillis

• Chicken breast with ginger and apricot stuffing

  • raybun on March 20, 2017

    This was really tasty! The stuffing was delicious, and quick & easy to make. I made the stuffing earlier in the afternoon so it only took 30 mins to cook when we got in. I served it with corn on the cob.

• Lemon, coconut and chia biscuits

  • eeeve on February 11, 2020

    Massive dough fail (my fault), but turned out utterly delicious! Substituted coconut butter with cows butter and left out lemon (therefore used baking powder not baking soda), as I had neither of these things in. Dough was very very soft, not possible to roll out. Added around 6 tbsp of regular flour. Dough still very soft, but rolled it into balls and then flattened out. They don’t look very nice but taste sooo good! (I think it might be the nutty-buttery note from the coconut sugar.)

• Chocolate cupcakes with whipped almond butter and chia seed jam

  • eeeve on October 29, 2020

    Made only the cakes, not the chia jam and almond butter topping, but wish I had! Quite liked the cakes, but wish I hadn't decorated them with super-sweet store-bought frosting. I’m also just getting to grips with using coconut flour, and my tip would be to flatten the tops out before baking, as there’s not much of a rise.

• Baked fish parcels

  • CourtneyT on April 20, 2025

    Easy, fast and tasty.

• Simple prawn, coconut and aubergine curry

  • eeeve on November 09, 2020

    I made this vegetarian by replacing the prawns with a head of cauliflower that needed using up. I was in a rush and therefore didn't make the onion and spice mix into a paste - which didn't bother me, but the dish would certainly have looked better that way. The taste was nice, though I found the dish a bit bland, and neither addition of curry powder nor generous seasoning seemed to help. Thumbs up from DH though.

• Herby lamb chops with salad

  • eeeve on May 07, 2017

    Lovely marinade for lamb chops, simple and not too much faffing about. Adapted the cooking method slightly as our chops were rather on the thick side - browned them off in a frying pan (with marinade removed), then added the marinade back on and finished them off in the oven. Tasted great and made a nice and light meal together with a salad.

• Sun-dried tomato and harissa turkey burgers

  • Stantonjulie on June 29, 2023

    Really easy and super tasty.

• Vegetarian chilli with cauliflower rice

  • eeeve on September 28, 2021

    This was okay, but it lacked some oomph, despite the amount of spices that went in there. Served this over regular rice.
