Notes about Recipes in this book

• Sunken peaches and cream cake with cardamom

  • FJT on July 30, 2021

    Delicious! Very easy to make and a lovely flavour combination, although for some reason my family thought the spice was ginger rather than cardamom ?????. I didn't make the sweetened cream to serve with it.

• Peppers stuffed with olives and goat's cheese

  • FJT on August 13, 2021

    Yum! Really enjoyed this. Prepped it a few days ago when it wasn't quite as hot and reheated it on a gas barbecue today. Very tasty. My only issue was that my peppers lacked structural integrity after the first cook: the sides bowed out and lay completely flat. Made filling them tricky! I think standard peppers would be easier to stuff than romano peppers, or they should be stuffed whilst raw and then cooked for longer with the filling in them.

• Sweet potato, spring onion and miso salad

  • mademoisielle on December 27, 2021

    Made this a few times, always a hit! Quite straightforward but looks impressive and tastes amazing. Always love some miso.

• Redcurrant crumble cake

  • Astrid5555 on August 06, 2021

    Perfect crumble cake with little tart bursts of redcurrants for a nice contrast. A keeper!

    Really nice way to use redcurrants (an ingredient I'm not familiar with but received in my farmbox).

• Parmigiana "light"

  • FJT on August 12, 2021

    It's a very hot day today, so I altered the method slightly and made it entirely on the gas barbecue outside this morning. It was delicious at room temperature this evening. I added a little balsamic vinegar to the tomato sauce to perk it up slightly, but otherwise followed the recipe. My husband, an ardent carnivore, really liked it and said it was perfect for the weather and that he wouldn't mind if I made it again.
