Notes about Recipes in this book

• Savoury breakfast muffins

  • willow_vqskrl on June 02, 2026

    Lovely muffins

• Tofu shakshuka

  • willow_vqskrl on June 02, 2026

    Nice Shakshuka recipe

• Singapore rice noodles

  • dyanarose on December 27, 2023

    Easy and tasty. I'm not sure what type of noodles the recipe used, I used dried rice noodles at about half the recommended amount and it was good.

• Artichoke, basil & spinach pasta

  • erin3107 on February 18, 2023

    quite nice but probably not worth making again

• Lemon, pea & basil risotto

  • erin3107 on February 18, 2023

    yummy!

• Shiitake & cashew stir-fry with black bean sauce

  • erin3107 on February 18, 2023

    quite nice!

• Arancini

  • erin3107 on February 18, 2023

    tasted very nice!

• Aubergine 'meatballs'

  • dyanarose on January 07, 2024

    Very satisfying recipe. Took me twice as long to prep than the book suggested. The 1 hour chill time is also too short. You shouldn't really put hot mix into the fridge, so I let it cool then put it in the fridge for a few hours. It was solid enough to make quenelles.

• Mr Bao's sesame & aubergine bao

  • dyanarose on January 01, 2023

    the rising time is way too long. use something like baking parchment to keep the buns from sticking to the steamer. They freeze really well

• Jackfruit tikka masala

  • CharlottePea on November 16, 2025

    I thought this recipe was quite long for the end result. It was tasty, but not perhaps tasty enough to justify the effort. The sauce it made was enough to feed about 6-8 rather than 4. The jackfruit was about right. The Rinku's aloo kabli (which was like an Indian potato salad) recommended to go with it was very tasty and quick to make however. I would definitely make that again.

• Coleslaw

  • willow_vqskrl on May 26, 2026

    Perfect for a BBQ

• Puy lentil & roasted red pepper salad

  • CharlottePea on September 17, 2025

    Very tasty - especially the tomatoes. The kids liked this too. Made a lot though. I did 2 x the recipe for four of us as a main and I think it would have served 6 as a main.

• Rinku's aloo kabli

  • CharlottePea on November 16, 2025

    This was very tasty and easy to make. Kids liked it too. I would definitely make again as an accompaniment to an Indian dish. I used jarred chickpeas as I find them tastier.

• Celeriac rosti with wild mushrooms

  • willow_vqskrl on June 02, 2026

    Really enjoyed this recipe

• Creamed spinach

  • erin3107 on February 18, 2023

    pretty good but probably won't make again

• Garlicky aioli

  • erin3107 on February 18, 2023

    very good and extremely easy to make

• Nut cheese & chive dip

  • erin3107 on February 18, 2023

    pretty good

• Carole's easy gluten-free flat breads

  • willow_vqskrl on June 02, 2026

    Nice gluten free flatbreads

• Almond, orange & cardamom cake

  • willow_vqskrl on May 29, 2026

    The recipe doesn’t say when to add the oil, so added it with the wet ingredients. The cake was nice but I was surprised about the error in the recipe. It’s not the first time with a Leon book, which is a shame as I like the recipes.

• Gingerbread [biscuits]

  • eeeve on November 25, 2024

    This didn’t work for us. The dough was incredibly crumbly and tricky to roll out, it kept falling apart and the cookies didn’t look very nice. They become very crunchy when cooled! DH and DD loved the taste, but I think I’ll try another recipe next time.

• Chocolate brownie cakes

  • willow_vqskrl on June 02, 2026

    Nice brownies

• Tinned Tomatoes
