Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Moussaka

    • Sue21 on January 20, 2011

      I add 4 large / 6 small cinnamon sticks which really enhances the flavour

  • Creamed chicken with avocado

    • veronicafrance on April 28, 2013

      The only reason I cooked this was because I was on a fridge-emptying mission and couldn't believe that I found a recipe that included cooked chicken and avocado. It confirmed my suspicion that cooking avocado is never a good idea -- not that I've ever tried it before.

  • Eggs en cocotte with soured cream and asparagus

    • veronicafrance on May 02, 2013

      Not bad. Sadly, I discovered we had no cheese of any sort, and I had to make do with UHT cream instead of sour cream or (better) crème fraîche. Easy to do anyway.

  • Lancaster lemon tart

    • veronicafrance on November 07, 2014

      This is a nice alternative to Bakewell tart. I found the topping a little dry; I recommend serving lukewarm with chilled custard.

  • Pavlova

    • LisaR12 on March 09, 2013

      i use this recipe for meringue all the time...fool proof

  • Special cottage pie

    • LisaR12 on February 21, 2013

      My go to recipe for cottage pie. I now make it in a pressure cooker which makes it even quicker. Then finish it off in the oven sometimes or otherwise just serve it as mince and mash

  • Spiced pilau rice

    • dawnelizabethtaylor on February 14, 2015

      I use brown basmati therefore dish takes 40 mins rather than 15 mins. And use chicken stock for extra flavour. All other ingredients same. A great accompaniment to my Saturday night spicy dishes!

  • A risotto for spring

    • dawnelizabethtaylor on March 13, 2015

      tasty mid week meal. used home grown veg. I used brown risotto rice and added touch crème fraiche before finishing in individual dishes under the grill. tasty and healthy!

  • Cheese and onion quichelets

    • dawnelizabethtaylor on June 09, 2015

      p369 in my old copy of this book. These are gorgeous! Made 4 - in my Yorkshire pudding tin, increasing flours to 75g each and using same quantity butter. I used cream in the filling. Really tasty and easy to make. Will make a note that these make a great mid week tea.

  • Spinach and cream cheese quiche

    • dawnelizabethtaylor on March 05, 2015

      I used swiss chard from the garden - cooking the stalks first, then adding the leaves; no problem with excess water as you'd get with spinach. I increased pastry to 100 g each wholemeal and SR flour, plus 100 g butter - no cheese; my quiche tin is about 27cms. Probably also used little more parmesan in filling. This was a GORGEOUS quiche - and probably now our favourite - using swiss chard/acelga. The squeeze of lemon juice is really tasty. Definitely 5 stars!

  • Basic pancakes

    • Chefdeedee on February 21, 2015

      The best pancakes ever!
