Notes about Recipes in this book

• Orange and watercress salad

  • treay on October 03, 2024

    Not a very nice salad. The leeks gave it a very strange flavour and felt they didn't belong here.

• Lavash with pastrami

  • treay on September 28, 2024

    One of our favourite wraps. So tasty! I used to take all ingredients separately in a lunch container and just roll it before eating it.

• Green chicken salad

  • wester on September 19, 2015

    I used this recipe as inspiration - I added the solid ingredients to ground pork to make meatballs, then used the dressing as a dipping sauce. The result was very tasty. I really liked the sauce as well, but my husband preferred the meatballs without sauce.

• Wilted spinach salad

  • wester on September 28, 2016

    I really liked the combination of flavors here, but the children (10) did not. I did not think heating the oil and then pouring it over the salad would wilt the salad enough, so I stir-fried the spinach (with the onion and garlic) for a few minutes, then added the other ingredients. This worked well.

• Chicken and papaya salad

  • treay on October 05, 2024

    Have made this salad for years now and it is a favourite in our household. I only make it when papayas are affordable. Great as a main meal in spring or summer.

• Warm salad of avocado and prosciutto

  • treay on September 28, 2024

    Yummy!

• Herbed chicken in paper on buttered risoni

  • treay on September 28, 2024

    Delicious!

• Mint and makrut chicken

  • treay on September 28, 2024

    Really tasty and simple.

• Whiting fillets with herb butter

  • treay on July 02, 2025

    Last night's dinner was fish and chips... The whiting fillets were scrumptious. I changed the recipe a bit and didn't add any butter. It is basically a salsa verde, and mixed it with olive oil instead. I coated the fillets with a bit of flour and pan-fried them. Yum.

• Lemon and thyme lamb cutlets

  • treay on October 03, 2024

    The marinade didn't give much flavour to the cutlets. I marinated them for about 4 hours. I didn't add the olives to the potatoes. A pleasant meal but not the best.

• Mushroom and tofu stir-fry

  • meggan on February 12, 2019

    Subbed baby kale for watercress and used only fresh mushrooms. Simple stirfry - good with rice.

• Apple and pecan crumb cake

  • treay on September 28, 2024

    A favourite cake. Love the crusty bit at the top. Delicious!

• Peanut dressing

  • treay on September 28, 2024

    I use this dressing for a crunchy Asian salad with shredded lettuce, sliced cucumber, finely sliced snow peas, spring onions, and herbs such as mint, coriander, etc. and topped with fried Asian shallots and crushed peanuts. I prefer to add the peanuts to the salad instead of the dressing. Just delightful!

• Chicken marinade

  • treay on September 28, 2024

    This marinade is just fantastic. I have now been making it for years. If you're running out of time, just put it straight into the oven and it is also great.
