Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Fennel, peas, halloumi

    • FJT on January 09, 2020

      Lovely flavour combination, but I did have some issues with the recipe. I had a fennel bulb that was miraculously almost the exact weight specified and I cut it to the width specified in the instructions, but there was no way I could fit all of the fennel in one layer in my large Le Creuset frying pan. Even using another large frying pan it was a tight fit, let alone fitting the halloumi into "the gaps"! I ended up cooking it in batches. There is also a lot of the pea and herb purée, but I'm not complaining as I will have that for lunch tomorrow on toast!

  • Brussels sprouts, smoked mozzarella, dill

    • FJT on March 06, 2020

      I made the version with blue cheese, a creamy gorgonzola; probably because the cheese was so creamy the dish cooked in 15 minutes. I also added gnocchi (one of the variations suggests adding cooked pasta) and feel that without it this would have been a side dish rather than a meal in itself. Both really liked it and I'm sure I'll make it again at some point.

    • Jojobuch on June 07, 2020

      As suggested, I added some cooked pasta, which made for a satisfying meal - great flavor with the smoked mozzarella and sprouts; I only added half the cream, which was still plenty.

  • Cheddar, tarragon, eggs

    • FJT on March 04, 2020

      Made this to use up some tarragon. I had a few issues, probably due to using gluten-free flour in the roux. I needed much more than the 300ml milk listed to make anything resembling a sauce. My soufflé rose impressively but took quite a bit longer to cook than stated (down to the extra liquid perhaps?) and the top was quite a dark brown in the end, so not the prettiest soufflé in the world. It tasted OK, but I wouldn't rave about it and probably won't make it again.

  • Mushrooms, butternut, soured cream

    • FJT on November 05, 2019

      Lovely soup! When I have the leftovers tomorrow I will dry-fry the mushrooms for the topping as I didn't feel they worked all that well fried in olive oil, but otherwise this was a very satisfying, tasty autumnal soup.

  • Crumpets, cream cheese, spinach

    • joneshayley on January 17, 2020

      Brilliant breakfast/brunch . Full of flavour, healthy and delicious

  • Brussels sprouts, brown rice, miso

    • joneshayley on January 15, 2020

      Very savoury and quite delicious. Added soy - both children liked sprouts this way! I served with some leftover roast chicken and, for me, without a meat/ tofu element the meal overall would be a little too monastic.

  • Rice, milk, fig jam

    • Charlotte_vandenberg on October 07, 2020

      Ultimate comfort food, very appropriate for cold and dark nights. Subtle flavor of cardemom en bay leave.

  • Kavey Eats

    The recipes...are deceptively plain and simple...yet every dish turns out just as you would expect, only twice as flavourful.
