Notes about Recipes in this book

• Oatmeal scones with cherries, walnuts and chocolate chunks

  • Christine on February 26, 2015

    Delicious! I used extra cherries and chocolate chunks in place of the walnuts because I had run out, though I think they would be lovely either way. Used white whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose and shaped into triangles instead of rounds out of habit. Perfect with a cup of tea in the afternoon.

• Savory barley soup with wild mushrooms and thyme

  • Cheri on October 30, 2016

    Doubled the cremini, used quick cooking barley (8.8 oz), ready in about 35 min. Added chopped onion. This was really satisfying.

• Chicken breasts with lemon and capers

• Sweet frites with garlic and sea salt

  • EdM on April 15, 2022

    Good flavor but don't become crisp - potatoes probably too moist.

• Sautéed Brussels sprouts with olive oil and lemon peel

  • EdM on January 25, 2020

    Easy. Cutting to 1/4 inch thickness is important for cooking time.

• Shrimp and cabbage slaw with chile sauce and lime

  • Rinshin on February 06, 2020

    Pan cooked shrimp with drizzle of dressing from this salad. Loved the simplicity and taste of this salad. Although I did not add any extra ingredients, small amount of shirataki or other bean thread/rice noodles added would be terrific here. For the red chili paste, used sambal oelek but any Asisn style red chili paste including kochujang would work here. Photo added.

• Buttery dried-fruit bars with figs and dates

  • infotrop on April 03, 2019

    Fine to replace the dates with more figs and decrease amount of sugar.
