Notes about Recipes in this book

• Sardine, chickpea and harissa salad

  • KarinaFrancis on November 13, 2023

    An almost pantry dish using tinned chickpeas and tinned fish (I used tuna instead of sardines). I thought the harissa onions were really tart but when I mixed it with the salad ingredients it was perfect. I also added some avocado because I had one on hand.

• Sweetcorn and avocado with sweet chilli and lime sauce

  • e_ballad on May 01, 2018

    Very good, but makes a huge amount of dressing - could easily halve the quantity.

    Absolutely delicious. The dressing is wonderful!

    Charred corn and avocado is one of my summertime favouites. What elevates this salad is the chilli sauce/dressing, its so good. As e_ballad noted, it makes much more than you need, but I've been using it on my lunchtime wraps, so I was happy for some extra. I added red onion and cherry tomatoes because I had them on hand, I think you could take some liberties because it really is all about that dressing.

• Butternut, goat’s cheese and rosemary Tatin

  • leahorowitz on February 08, 2017

    Made the tart in a tart pan which meant that I had to make the caramel in a separate pan and pour it over the arranged squash and goat cheese, which worked fine.

• Beef ragout with semolina and Parmesan porridge

  • ARechner on October 11, 2020

    Chopped celery leaves made a great garnish

• Fresh tagliatelle in yoghurt with spring onion and chilli

    I am a big fan of Ottolenghi's pasta with yogurt and peas from Jerusalem, so I was curious about this one given I had some goat milk yogurt to use up. I used thin leeks instead of spring onions, and used goat yogurt only (but I'm sure this would work equally well with Greek yogurt if that's what you have around). Toasted the walnuts in a little oil with chili flakes in a pan. Sprinkled the pasta with parmesan instead of pecorino. A nice quick weeknight dish, even with my substitutions :)
