Notes about Recipes in this book

• Rice and peas

    It was ok. I probably didn’t salt enough. I made the red kidney beans in the pressure cooker which worked ok.

• Honey mac 'n' cheese

    I didn’t understand this recipe - the measurements didn’t really make sense. 1kg of dried macaroni is required but is is an absolutely enormous amount and simply not proportionate to the amount of sauce and level of seasoning in the instructions. I assumed this was an error so went with adding only half the macaroni. I also added an extra dash of salt as otherwise there would only be the salt from pasta water (mostly poured away) and the cheese but given it’s a mild cheddar and mozzarella, this is minimal. I used cheese crackers for the top and tripled the amount. This was by far the nicest part. Wouldn’t make again - firstly because the recipe is faulty and secondly because it was okay with making half the amount of pasta but still I’ve had much nicer macaroni cheese. A disappointment as first recipe I’ve cooked from this book and it looks promising. I won’t give up but not a good start.

• Steamed cabbage

    Simple but nice. I added a bit of soy sauce when first cooking for umami. A bit of char helped too instead of just steamed

• Dirty banana

    Husband loved this blended cocktail, but it was too boozy for me. Nice coffee banana flavor
