Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Lemon posset with hot spiced fruits

    • veronicafrance on June 01, 2012

      Lovely! I topped them with hot cherry compote. I only left them to set for about 3 hours, so they melted a bit under the hot cherries. But they did set, and they were delicious. Effort versus results: 10/10 Note: I made half quantities, which allegedly serves three. This gave me six small glasses, which with the fruit and some crisp biscuits would make a nice light dessert for four or even six.

      So simple to make and set within 6 hrs (i.e. didn't need the 24 hours the recipe recommends). Topped with hot fruit and it was just fine. Cut the recipe down as I only had 600ml tub of double cream, used three and a half lemons. Fed six greedy people, no trouble. Wonderfully creamy - unsurprisingly!

      Next time will make half the quantity for 4 people. Skipped the fruit to cut down on extra sugar and topped with fresh raspberries

  • Mum's pork chops

    • BlytheSpirit on March 02, 2014

      The flavor for these was very good. I especially liked the sage and thyme together with the onions. Pork is not something I eat every day, but would definitely do this again sometime when I'm in the mood for something rich. I had some issues with the timing and temperature - as I have an older gas oven. I had gone with the lower temperature and my chops probably could have used another fifteen minutes or so. But this is not a fault of the recipe.

      This is my favourite way to eat pork chops now. And it is so simple. Although it takes quite some time to cook there is very little preparation.

  • Leek and potato soup

    • Susan_F on January 05, 2014

      Without a doubt the best Leek and potato soup I have ever made - but oh dear, the calories just don't bear thinking about :-(

  • Crumble and custard

    • tekobo on August 14, 2022

      Substituted gluten free flour and it turned out well.
