Notes about Recipes in this book

• Chilli jam

    The same recipe occurs in her book Spice. This is a fantastic chilli paste Fantastic. One of my favourites ever. See the recipe under Spice for cooking notes.

• Chilli salt beancurd with beansprout salad

  • Ganga108 on February 27, 2022

    Very similar to the recipe in her book Spice. The Chilli-Salt encrusted tofu is very good but the coating mix is even better when made into a batter for the tofu which is then deep fried. The chilli-pepper-salt is fab for sprinkling on pakoras.

• Spiced eggplant pickle

  • Ganga108 on February 27, 2022

    The recipe also appears in he book Spice. See cooking notes there.

• Satay chicken with peanut chilli sauce

    Lovely stuff!

• Spiced tomato chilli pickle

  • Ganga108 on February 27, 2022

    This is actually an Indian Tomato Kasundi recipe, slightly altered from the original, but with the name changed. It also appears in her book Spice where at least it is attributed. Here it doesn't reference Charmaine Solomon, the original publisher of the recipe, or it's Indian roots.

• Spaghetti with tuna, preserved lemon, capers and fennel

  • mcvl on January 30, 2016

    Excellent. Next time I would add currants as well.
