Notes and Reviews
-
Used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and it was still great! The mustard is subtle and the crispy, garlicky panko crust delicious. (I doubled the garlic and yum! Worked for us) Would make again. Served with the green beans and gemolata recipe in this book.
-
Tasty! Think mine could have used a spritz of lemon as well.
-
Good flavors, but sauce didn't thicken, using store-bought broth and white (new?) potatoes. 4 stars, if thick sauce next time...
-
Easy and good. I used cabbage instead of peas. Nice lively flavors to perk up the end-of-winter veg.
-
I made the traditional variation with caraway seeds and raisins. Not too sweet and a very nice crust. Dough was very wet and sticky.
-
Very good soup for my stash of butternut squash from the garden. Used 6 home-made ancho chilis that were end of the season poblanos that were puny, removed all seeds, but there was still a bit of kick in the soup. No sugar was added.
-
This was good. I guess I was expecting to be more “wowed” because of all the hype I have heard about this recipe. My husband said “give it a good review” . I thought the consistency of the shrimp was a little weird and we kept wondering if we would have preferred it with sausage.
-
Asian Chicken Salad: this did not turn out great and I am not actually sure why. I think my ration of dressing to greens was off.
-
used tilapia in place of cod; used half a can of coconut milk about a cup of veggie broth, but otherwise followed the recipe as written. Served fish and poaching liquid over rice noodles, and then stood at the stove and drank the rest of the poaching liquid out of the pan with a spoon. When the fish was almost done, I added some thin spring asparagus to the pan, and it was steamed perfectly. I’ll make the poaching liquid again.
-
My son declared these to be the "best vegetarian tacos ever!". I loved the oven "frying" method, and the filling was easy to throw together. I will definitely make this again if I have some extra potatoes lying around.
-
I make this most years, perhaps in Autumn when the mornings are cool but the days are warm. Today was that day. Such an easy dish to make - imaging pre-cooking the lentils, it would take just minutes to make. Today, I snuck some of the cooked lentils, still warm from the pot, drizzled olive oil over them and ate them as they were. A delicious snack.
-
Mild and easy way to use up veg.
-
We didn't use as much cheese but still delicious, easy and comforting. I've been making this as a soup for ages after learning it from an italian friends' mum as a teen. I added some peas too.
-
I really liked how it was instructed to cook the omelet. We had this over 2 days by saving the filling and making smaller omelets as we went. Delicious. Served with potatos
-
Quick and easy- next day we served with some yogurt. Wasn't the most exciting, but was hearty.
-
Very nice biryani recipe. I put more chopped tomato in than called for because I wanted my meat layer to be quite saucy, and I'd do this again. I also took the time to pick out as many of the whole spices as I could before assembling/baking, which again I think was worth doing. The recipe isn't clear, but I think you are meant to reuse the whole spices used in cooking the rice, again in the meat part.
-
These were surprisingly easy to make, and the pastry was more forgiving than I thought, I had to do a last minute patch and it held up fine with no leaks. The filling I found a little dry, and I wished I had some gravy to go with the pie. I think maybe these are meant to be eaten more like a handheld snack a la Cornish pasty, rather than as part of a full hot dinner though.
-
a favorite kale recipe to get those greens in at lunch, serve on fried toast rubbed with plenty of garlic
-
Nice, easy recipe and good to perk up plain grilled chicken.
-
These are very good AND very filling sandwiches. I scaled it to 2/3'ds (ie 8 oz of beef) to make 3 thin patties. I used my own cucumber relish and was surprised at how good it was mixed into the beef mixture. I used rye bread, added some fried onions to each sandwich and we both agree - definitely worth repeating.
-
Beautiful. Served this with the tamarind green beans from the same book (also amazing), gem lettuce and a small portion of brown rice. Would definitely make again.
-
This has to be one of the easiest but also tastiest recipes for a side dish. My husband doesn’t like green beans, but he loved these. Super tasty and sticky. I did these alongside the golden stir fry from the same book.
-
The crust and meringue recipes were great. The filling was disgusting. It did not look like the picture at all. The texture was really odd (spongy/bouncy). It didn't have enough raspberry flavor. I would make the crust and meringue again, but the chiffon part was absolutely gross.

I made this filling. It was ok--nothing special. However, any filling in a hand pie is going to be amazing. I'd make these again--maybe.
