Notes about Recipes in this book

• Chicken liver parfait

  • DKennedy on November 19, 2016

    This will be the second time I am making this as an appetizer for my Thanksgiving gathering. It is a straightforward recipe. The copy I own shows the pate in a beautiful deep set country bowl and the clarified butter topping is littered with crispy sage leaves. Just beautiful. Half the recipe and you still have more than enough.

• Get-ahead gravy

    Made this last christmas, it was great to have it prepared in advance. Just go easy on the star anise, i'll just use 1 next time.

    This is a great head start to christmas and handy to have on hand all year round. I agree with the previous comment, just 1 star anise is fine.

• Chocolate, cranberry & orange biscuits

  • eeeve on May 03, 2017

    Love these; the ingredients come together to make a really tasty biscuit. Got to go easy on the baking powder, though, as otherwise the texture is more like a cake than a biscuit (though the husband actually quite likes that). Have made with just chocolate and orange - nice, but missed the cranberries. Also works with fresh cranberries, which give a lovely fruity burst.

• Apple sponge pudding

  • Bloominanglophile on May 02, 2015

    Made this to use up 3 apples that had seen better days. Delish, and pretty quick for a dessert.
