Notes about Recipes in this book

• Chicken with Marsala (Pollo alla Marsala)

  • Astrid5555 on February 21, 2022

    Delicious sauce, quick and easy weeknight dinner option.

  • Dinovino on July 31, 2024

    Super tasty, very easy, rewarding dish

  • Clog on April 25, 2023

    Straightforward, quick, flavoursome. What's not to like?

• Chicken with stuffing & garlic gravy from La Tupina

  • JFM on January 01, 2017

    Made this yesterday for New Year's eve Dinner; absolutely delicious.

• Salt cod fritters

  • FJT on March 16, 2018

    As I’m currently in Brazil and bacalhau is readily available I thought I’d give these fritters a go. Next time I will omit the egg as I think it made the mixture too wet. I had problems with the fritters falling apart while frying.

• Sicilian pasta with cauliflower, anchovies, currants & pine nuts (Pasta chi vruocculi arriminati)

  • KarinaFrancis on July 01, 2021

    Yum! The flavours work beautifully, the sweetness of the cauliflower and currants play beautifully against the pinenuts and anchovy. A repeat for sure

• Sicilian pizza (Sfincione)

  • KarinaFrancis on November 01, 2020

    This was so close to the sfincione we enjoyed in Sicily and relatively simple to make with the help of my KitchenAid. I didn’t add the onions and anchovy, just the pecorino/breadcrumbs.

• Involtini di pesce spada

  • KarinaFrancis on August 26, 2018

    Easy and very tasty. We couldn’t find any swordfish so used a different fish which didn’t improve the dish, I’d like to try it with the right fish. Would do again. Update: I had some of the filling left over so I spread it on fish fillet and baked it in the oven with the top element on for maximum browning and it was delicious!

• Dress the board spatchcocked chicken

  • KarinaFrancis on October 31, 2020

    Yum! I really loved the flavours in the post marinade but they didn’t really do much during the resting period. It was absolutely delicious spooned over the chicken.

• Baked pasta with a beef, pork & tomato ragù (Anelletti alla Palermitana)

  • KarinaFrancis on February 02, 2019

    Of course this was delicious - pasta, meat sauce and pecorino has to be good. I’m just not convinced the effort to reward ratio is better that a nice, old fashioned bowl of spaghetti bolognaise. We followed the recipe (mainly) but added peas and cheese in the middle after watching the series on TV. Probably won’t make again.

  • Popisdead on June 21, 2020

    Rally good. Did make a bit of a mess getting out the dish, but here ho. Plenty leftover for lunch (really will serve 6 with some sides). Will pre-cook pasta for less time, if at all, when i do it again.

• Icelandic breaded lamb chops with spiced red cabbage

  • Rinshin on October 04, 2021

    I made the spiced red cabbage portion only to go with pork jaeger schnitzel. Made few substitutions. Used grapes instead of blueberries and homemade plum preserve instead of bramble jelly. I cooked this for much longer time ie approximately 2 hr 30 min on low heat with cover on and added butter at end for richness. I was not sure of cinnamon stick but it all came together perfectly. Delicious braised sweet and sour red cabbage I plan to repeat.

• Wiener schnitzel with Viennese potato salad

  • Kathyn61 on July 14, 2020

    The schnitzel was very nice but i found the potato salad dressing a bit too sweet. I’d try next time halving the icing sugar and the cider vinegar (as the sugar is obviously helping to counteract the acidity of the vinegar) to see if that helps as otherwise it was a really nice salad and the idea of glazing the potatoes in the stock works well.

• A Gruyère gratin of chicken with tomato & black olives (Poulet au Parmentier)

  • Pamsy on June 05, 2022

    Really lacking in flavour, bland. Won't be repeated.

• Flamenco eggs with tomato & serrano ham (Huevos a la flamenca)

  • murphyfrank on July 27, 2017

    I made this for dinner last night (for two people not 4). It was absolutely delicious. I cooked this on the stove top & the yolks were nice & runny. I did add some crumbed fetta before serving.

• Pork belly slices with parsley sauce & lovage potatoes (Stegt flæsk)

  • Indio32 on October 16, 2020

    Really enjoyed this..... swapped out the lovage for mint and cooked the pork for a touch less time than the recipe called for but apart from that a good easy supper.

• Almond tart (Tarte de amêndoa)

  • Petrakisses on October 18, 2022

    The tart shell is nice. The butterscotch almonds are nice. But together it lacks something inbetween. It's a bottom and top with no middle that left me unsatiated.

• Simple cod gratin with Béarnaise sauce topping

  • DinahDough on November 30, 2020

    ***

• Waffles and rhubarb jam

  • alicemulhearn on January 22, 2022

    I used this waffle recipe (not the jam) and they came out very well. Delicious with bacon and maple syrup!
