Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Beef and mushroom pie

    • JLDuck on February 16, 2018

      This needs to start the day before. Possibly make the beef cubes a little smaller. Also it helps to reheat the stew a little before placing into pie dish. A lovely pie.

  • Coconut fish curry

    • Agaillard on October 21, 2017

      This is page 92

    • Agaillard on October 22, 2017

      Nice and simple, but efficient, it is so tasty and such a nice way to eat fish! I think it is my second favourite thai curry, maybe lacking a little originality (my favourite is a recipe from a French book called "red duck curry with lychees and bamboo shots"). I could not help but dip and dip the sauce again :)

  • Fish roasted in paper

    • JLDuck on April 12, 2021

      Easy to prepare and very tasty. Used gummy shark. Other recommendations in recipe.

  • Indian-style lamb curry

    • FionaC on October 18, 2014

      Lamb needs to be marinated overnight

  • Mango chutney

    • Agaillard on December 16, 2016

      Simple, but efficient, and a beautiful vinegary, spicey chutney flavour that felt very seasonal, probably partly due to the fact I replaced ground cumin with ground cloves !

    • Agaillard on October 22, 2017

      Man - I love chutney - I did it again to use up some mangoes that were in need, and I am just falling in love every time I make chutney, and especially mango chutney. Planning to use as a topping for an arancini with Mozzarella and Bayonne ham (i.e. French parma ham). Need to not eat the whole chutney before I get to that though!

  • Marinated pork fillets

    • JLDuck on December 14, 2018

      Superb and very easy to make.

  • Minestrone

    • Agaillard on July 28, 2024

      I omitted spinach, pasta (because that was a lot of food already) and parsley/basil ... the portions are generous or deal with tiny vegetables... I halved most of the recipe and ended up with 3 to 4 servings

  • Spice cake
