Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Mushroom, lentil and walnut ragù

    • eeeve on January 28, 2023

      I wish I'd read the instructions properly and used my big stockpot, as this recipe makes a HUGE amount! I couldn't fit all of the ingredients into my big saucepan - half of the lentils, one can of chopped tomatoes, the walnuts and stock had to stay out. The ragu took ages to cook, I didn't time it but felt longer than what the recipe stated. I might halve the amount of dried mushrooms next time, but otherwise, this came out great! Might also be one of those sauces that tastes better the next day. Would make again.

  • Satay dressing

    • eeeve on November 06, 2021

      Unfortunately this sauce left us slightly underwhelmed, didn't find it as moreish as the book promised. Had it with a "crunchy salad" pack from the supermarket plus soba noodles and a soy spiced seed mix as a salad topper, it was all okay but that's all it was.

  • Satay dressing with five-spice smoked tofu nuggets

    • eeeve on November 15, 2021

      Didn't really care for these nuggets, had them with the leftover satay sauce from the book. I didn't deep-fry them, I just sat them on an oiled baking sheet and roasted in the oven, as I don't like deep-frying at home. Might try and add the leftovers to a salad rather than eating them on their own again.
