Notes about Recipes in this book

• Cajun sweet potato hash

    Tasty but rather dry. Will try it with yogurt next time.

• White beans, butternut squash and spicy couscous

  • Clog on March 28, 2025

    As given, this was rather dry and tasteless. We rescued it with Greek yogurt and chili oil. The yogurt gave it body and the chili oil added some flavour. I would be prepared to do it again but as an accompaniment to a meat or fish dish, not a stand-alone main course.

• Creole couscous with white beans and parsley

  • Clog on February 25, 2024

    Serves 2? We are not small eaters and this easily delivered four portions!

• Jambalaya

  • CourtneyT on October 22, 2025

    Whilst this wouldn’t win any awards for being authentic, it was easy, tasty and relatively healthy. I used the spice blend on page 245 and whole grain brown rice. Filling and warming on a chilly autumn evening.

• Thyme and ginger comfort soup

  • Clog on June 04, 2026

    Nasty thick brown sludge. It might be redeemable if you slashed the amount of ginger and sun-dried tomatoes, and added more vegetables. But it would be a fundamentally different recipe by then I think.

• Coconut chicken with spicy peas and potato

  • Clog on February 11, 2023

    Very colourful and tasty meal. Not particularly spicy by our standards but YMMV, and you can always add more spice.
