Notes about Recipes in this book

• Smoked salmon rolls

  • Rradishes on October 02, 2016

    Can't go wrong with smoked salmon. The creamy spread definitely adds to it.

• Chicken riggies

  • Rradishes on October 02, 2016

    Good dish, makes a lot of it. Might cut down next time, not a dish to have multiple meals in a row.

• Creamy orzo with chicken, asparagus, and sun-dried tomatoes

  • Jane on June 18, 2012

    Although this is called "creamy" there is no dairy produce in it at all. The creaminess comes from the risotto-like cooking of the orzo. It was good combination of flavors - chicken, asparagus, sun-dried tomatoes, Parmesan and basil. It was good for a weeknight dinner though it is isn't very speedy (almost one hour) since the chicken cooks first then the stock is used to cook the orzo.

• Classic beef tenderloin with crispy baked potato fans

  • ldholakia on October 03, 2021

    A great recipe for a special occasion - we have had it at Christmas more than once. Timing works well to get both the roast and the potatoes to the table. Watch the potatoes closely under the broiler...it would be a shame to burn things right at the end.
