Notes about Recipes in this book

• Almond milk and maple porridge

  • Astrid5555 on December 07, 2012

    Perfect weekday breakfast for a winter day!

  • Melanie on November 25, 2016

    Yum! I only soaked the oats for half an hour but would soak longer next time to make sure they cook well.

• Pear and walnut Bircher muesli

  • Astrid5555 on December 07, 2012

    Qick and healthy make ahead breakfast. I normally prepare a big bowl for the whole week, store it in the fridge, and just add yogurt and fresh fruit in the morning.

• Chard and Brie mini muffins

  • saarwouters on September 18, 2017

    These are delicious! Made them with spinach and camembert. Made a whole batch to add to lunch during the week and froze some.

• Puy lentil hummus, carrot and cumin hummus, garlic toasts

  • Melanie on November 25, 2016

    The carrot hummus was tasty but didn't taste enough of carrot for my liking. The garlic toasts were a winner though.

• Green tabbouleh topped with a cherry tomato salad

  • Astrid5555 on December 07, 2012

    Despite the big amount of herbs this salad tastes quite bland.

• Gazpacho Andaluz

  • saarwouters on July 28, 2018

    Great basic recipe for gazpacho. Alice says: "don't be shy with the seasoning", but the recipe only asks for 1 clove of garlic and no salt or pepper... I found it a bit bland. So I added 4 cloves of garlic, a big pinch of salt, lots of ground pepper and the juice of half a lemon.

• Smoky black bean and roast tomato soup

  • RachLFinn on March 30, 2018

    This soup was a real winner. An easy to make hearty soup with a gentle heat. I'll definitely be making it again. Vegans can give the sour cream a miss. Recipe ingredients list 'roasted tomatoes'. Roast the tomatoes while you're making the salsa - get them nice and browned, and be sure to rinse (deglaze?) the baking dish with some boiling water to get the tasty sticky bits into the stock. I subbed the coriander for parsley. Because coriander sucks.

• Tamarind tempeh with sesame noodles and shredded greens

  • Astrid5555 on December 07, 2012

    Delicious tempeh marinade - will use for other recipes as well.

• Charred baby cauliflower with cumin, chilli and almonds

  • Melanie on November 25, 2016

    Quick and easy to make. Very tasty.

• Orecchiette pasta with broccoli and pine nuts

  • Astrid5555 on December 07, 2012

    Nice, but nothing special.

• Cherry tomato tart Tatin

  • saarwouters on January 27, 2018

    Simple to make. We used ready-made puff pastry. Beautiful side-dish with good flavours.

• Oven-baked pea, barley and broad bean frittata

  • Astrid5555 on May 21, 2015

    Initially I loved the idea of putting some grains into my frittata and since I also found a packet of halloumi while cleaning out the fridge this was the recipe of the day. However, the pearl barley just did not do it for me. The frittata was just very filling nothing more and I would have preferred feta cheese instead of the halloumi. Not to be repeated.

• Courgette and Taleggio risotto

  • rosie_t81cht on May 26, 2026

    Simple but really delicious: creamy, cheesy, comforting risotto. Made about 6 decent sized portions .
