Notes about Recipes in this book

• Creamy mascarpone butter beans with sausage and gremolata

  • lkgrover on May 05, 2025

    Good sausage & beans stew. I substituted cannellini beans for butter beans; also used garlic sausages.

  • Lepa on January 09, 2026

    I thought this was exceptionally delicious. I loved the unusual combination of flavors and the gremolata really added a wonderful note. We ate it with toasted herb slab instead of over toast but I'm sure that would be great, too.

• Butter bean, goat's cheese and chard frittata

  • DebCooks on May 27, 2026

    Really good! I was skeptical with the beans in a frittata but this was delicious. The basil made the flavor fresh and light. Will make again.

• Turkish lentil tomato soup

  • Victoria_from_London on February 28, 2026

    Even without toppings this was great. Pureeing half the mixture is vital to smooth out flavours and tone down the acidity. Used tomato paste+Aleppo flakes. Cooked in a WIDE cast iron pot, which would 100% recommend.

• Dal tadka

  • DebCooks on May 05, 2026

    Terrific recipe! Great flavour profiles with the cumin and mustard seeds and curry leaves.

• Harira

  • Lepa on February 01, 2026

    We weren't crazy about the flavor profile here- too much clove. Okay but not a repeat for us.

• Chicken, chickpea and aubergine tagine

  • lkgrover on August 11, 2025

    Excellent chicken tagine (stew); lots of unexpected flavors that blend well together.

• Chicken with 40 garlic cloves and butter beans

  • Bessp on February 21, 2026

    This would be lovely served with some nice crusty bread. I added zucchini for a vegetable at the same time as the beans, and a bit of cream to make more of a sauce of the cooking liquid. Tasty, pretty quick, and I love the garlic. Definitely a good weeknight recipe, as it calls for almost all things we always have on hand and is quite comforting.

• Chorizo, cider and white beans

  • Lepa on February 08, 2026

    This was a bit disappointing. Not a repeat.

• Roasted broccoli and leeks with lentils and anchovies

  • DebCooks on May 30, 2026

    Not bad. A good way to use up some greens — lentils are nice with the vegetables. I used milk instead of cream, so maybe i’ll try the cream next time. Just okay.

• Chickpeas with green olives, preserved lemon and coriander

  • Victoria_from_London on March 07, 2026

    Thanks to this I've finally dared try preserved lemon. Works with green olives. I also enjoyed it adding tinned tuna in oil and pomegranate seeds.
