Notes about Recipes in this book

• Hot-smoked salmon and zucchini tart

  • e_ballad on September 21, 2019

    An excellent tart.

• Orange and quinoa biscuits

  • e_ballad on July 04, 2021

    A delicious crisp but chewy biscuit.

• Light and crunchy honey granola

  • e_ballad on September 21, 2019

    A good granola recipe, however, didn’t really stand out from the pack of other granola recipes. I also didn’t really enjoy coriander in a breakfast cereal, however, concede that this is a personal preference.

• Just a really good chocolate mousse

  • e_ballad on August 31, 2021

    Delicious & light when first made, this became really dense when served the following day. I’d err on a shorter refrigeration time.

• Spiced cauliflower and chickpea salad

  • e_ballad on November 05, 2019

    A tasty salad & easy to assemble. I wonder if adding some halloumi would make this even better.

• Honey-soy chicken legs

  • e_ballad on August 26, 2021

    Delicious & incredibly quick to pull together. A hit with the kids.

• Spinach and ham tart

  • e_ballad on January 05, 2020

    An excellent tart. The kiddo declared this was “the best” & ate 3x servings.

• Anna’s minestrone

  • e_ballad on August 16, 2020

    I’ve not made a minestrone using red wine before. This is a very good, very ‘rich’ soup, perfect for winter.

• Bircher muesli

  • hbakke on July 01, 2024

    I had to modify the recipe a bit because I used Greek yogurt that was far too thick for this recipe. I added more apple juice to compensate. This was an easily adaptable breakfast that I've repeated a number of times with different toppings and add-ins.

• Mango, chia, yoghurt and cardamom smoothie

  • hbakke on February 27, 2022

    This was a nice smoothie although it wasn't sweet at all and the cardamom was definitely a prominent flavor.

• Vanilla, peach and mint iced tea

  • Lafro on January 27, 2024

    Made this to go with Christmas lunch. Very refreshing and a lovely alternative to traditional iced tea. The ginger and peach flavours were not very strong however.

• Stonesoup

  Even though there is a lot of sugar and flour, I’ve found plenty of inspirational ideas. Worth buying just to feel like you’re having a cosy chat in the kitchen with Sophie.
