Notes about Recipes in this book

• Anke's beef stew (Anke's goulash)

  • mjes on September 08, 2021

    This is a straight-forward, excellent recipe for goulash. The tomato paste is the only element not in the recipe I've used for years.

• Susanne's ground meat with braised cucumbers (Susanne's schmorgurken)

    Big crowd pleaser. Will probably double it next time so there are more leftovers. Made about 5 servings

• Nikki's cashew chicken (Nikki's poul ak nwa)

  • jdjd99 on April 02, 2020

    Loved the sauce and veg! I mean this in the best way, but it reminiscent of ketchup with the sweet and sour flavors. The initial treatment of the chicken is interesting - rubbed with lime juice then rinsed. I've not seen this before, and I'm not it really added anything, Will make again.
