Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Granny Fletcher's rice pudding

    • lbarmuta on May 13, 2016

      Scrummy, but rich. Successfully cut back on the cream, and still tastes terrific. Really nice with fresh fruit too.

    • CurlyCozza on December 13, 2016

      I use a mixture of cinnamon and nutmeg as this is way too much nutmeg for our family, and we love it!

  • Bread and butter pudding

    • Melanie on March 22, 2015

      This was the best bread and butter pudding I have ever made. The custard puffed up quite impressively in the oven and the too was nice and crunchy. Used homemade marmalade so had lots of delicious orange bits throughout.

    • e_ballad on March 10, 2017

      I love Matthew Evans & I love bread & butter pud, so I thought this was going to be a slam dunk. Unfortunately, we found this really very sweet, almost too sweet.

  • Lamb shoulder braised with tomato and green olives

    • Melanie on May 06, 2015

      A simple meal, this was easy and tasty. Doesn't hit big notes flavour wise but is definitely a comforting meal. Served with baked fennel and potato instead of the suggested addition of potatoes to the dish or serving with polenta etc. As a result the dish was too liquidy and I would add less water next time.

  • Panforte

    • Melanie on January 06, 2016

      Great recipe! Used almonds, hazelnuts, candied orange rind, currants and prunes.

  • Chocolate self-saucing pudding

    • Melanie on March 28, 2014

      Lovely deep chocolate flavour. Serve with cream or ice cream.

  • Roasted prosciutto-wrapped trout with sage burnt butter and pine nuts

    • cassiemcgannon on November 12, 2012

      This was so, so, so good! It helped that I had fresh-caught trout, but I think the recipe would get the best out of whatever state your trout were in.

  • Braised lamb shanks with tomato and cumin

    • james_lewisham on January 06, 2014

      Thank goodness for Eat Your Books, as the index to "Real Food Companion" is so poor, it doesn't even list most of the lamb recipies!

  • Wok-tossed broccoli with anchovies and Parmesan

    • e_ballad on July 08, 2017

      This sure is a hit of umami & I absolutely couldn't get enough. Even my "professing-to-be-an-anchovy-hater" husband ate it all without any concerns. Can't wait to make this again.

  • Apple and blackberry pie with Lady Grey custard

    • e_ballad on September 10, 2017

      Nice, but the custard was a little too sweet. I'd also suggest checking the pie at 30 mins as it was slightly overcooked.

  • Yoghurt roast chicken

    • e_ballad on November 28, 2021

      Devoured by the kids, this was very tasty.

  • Beef shin daube

    • e_ballad on March 23, 2023

      I dutifully followed the instructions to refrigerate for several days before eating, but the end result tasted medicinal, I suspect due to the juniper berries infusing the stew. Soundly rejected by all.

  • Lamb shank and pearl barley soup

    • e_ballad on July 14, 2019

      A hearty winter warmer with a lot of flavour. Would be well-suited for both pressure cookers & slow cookers.

  • Osso bucco with gremolata

    • e_ballad on June 18, 2017

      A great recipe, though I prefer the flavours from a Jane Lawson recipe. Highly recommended though!
