| Lamb shoulder chops are very fatty and tasty. The meat was very flavourful and tender, but not much of it. I'd make this again but double the onions...they melted away to very little.
Easy to put together before braising. |
| The flavours do not meld together. The dip is very runny. I think a baked or stovetop warm crab dip would be much better. |
| The cookies are pretty basic. They aren't as sweet as many chocolate chip cookie recipes. The recipe makes exactly 24 cookies with a 2tblsp scoop.
If you like a soft and chewy cookie this is for you. I prefer a crispier chocolate chip cookie.
|
| I made the fish stock (page 77) with this too, which made the process very time consuming. The resulting stew wasn't worth the trouble. |
| From: The Bread Bible (reviewed 7th March 2013)Delicious buns, the dough takes a few hours to rise and proof but well worth it. The caramel is fantastic on its own.
Will make again.
|
| From: The Cake Bible (reviewed 15th December 2011)I agree with the commenters above. This is a great cake. Light crumb, great flavour and texture. And easy to make. |
| The parsely and toasted walnut sauce is simple, delicious and versatile. I served it with pan-fried haddock for dinner and then the leftovers with pasta the next night.
I made the sauce in a mortar and pestle, for some textural contrast, and added a squeeze of lemon at the end. |
| This was very good. The balance of light vanilla cake/chocolate glaze/ thick custard is really nice. |
| From: Everyday Harumi (reviewed 10th September 2011)The toasted sesame seeds smelled amazing when I grinded them in the mortar. The sauce is quite sweet, I may use a tad less sugar next time. Very good with boiled green beans and chinese long beans. |
| I love this recipe because it uses very little oil (2 tablespoons sunflower oil) compared to many other recipes for granola and there are lots of different flavours and textures. The apple sauce, honey, brown sugar and brown rice syrup helps the granola clump to together. It is sweet but not too sweet.
If you substitute the golden syrup for brown rice syrup I'd decrease the amount by 10 to 15 g.
Very easy to make especially if you have a kitchen scale. |
| From: Fine Cooking (reviewed 8th October 2012)Carrot cake was as hit among 9 adults. The cream cheese icing was light, fluffy and not too sweet. The cake was moist without being too oily and had a really nice balance for flavours. The roasted walnut oil is a must.
adaptations:
I don't have a food processor, so I grated the carrots and combined the wet ingredients in a standing mixer with a wire whip.
In the frosting I used half full fat cream cheese and half light cream cheese. |
| Very, very easy to make. Toast the peppercorns in a dry hot pan before grinding them, it adds warmth to the flavour. |
| This a great dish to pack for lunch. Easy to pull together the night before. |
| I found the salmon cooked very quickly, about a minute per side. It is also really sweet, candy-like. |
| From: Fresh at Home (reviewed 2nd May 2010)Tahini sauce is easy to make. It is a great sauce for steam vegetables and brown rice. You feel healthy eating it. |
| This is an easy summery salad to make on the grill. |
| I love this chilli recipe. It has a rich, deep flavour from sundried tomatoes and cinnamon. |
| Nigella's pea risotto recipe is a really flexible. It is quick and cheap to make, you can make it as is or add what you like. I add mint and garlic to it and use whatever homemade stock I have on hand. Stock from smoked ham hock is delicious wtih this recipe. |
| From: Jerusalem (reviewed 2nd January 2013)This dish took almost two hours to put together including cooking time. I had to breakdown chicken leg (4) and a whole breast so the dish should take 1.5 hours if you use chicken thighs.
I omitted the currants (my bf doesn't eat them) and the greek yogurt garnish. The fresh herb mix (parsley, dill and cilantro) is a must, it really makes the dish.
The rice and chicken were delicious, not too greasy, very flavourful and great for leftovers. I served this with a kale salad.
I would make this again, no changes. |
| From: Jerusalem (reviewed 3rd January 2013)Simple to make. The combo of butternut squash, za'atar & tahini are really good together.
-I peeled the squash before roasting it
- I didn't use pine nuts, subbed in roasted almonds instead
|
| These zucchini cakes are delicious and easy to make. The only problem is that they are very delicate and fall apart easily. |
| From: A New Way to Cook (reviewed 17th October 2010)Simple, delicious and hearty stew. It is fragrant and has really great depth of flavour. I like to serve it over rice and skip the caramelized onions half the time.
I like the stew quite thick so 40-50mins of simmering does the trick. |
| From: A New Way to Cook (reviewed 17th October 2010)Excellent moist and tender meat. Of course, the longer you marinate the ribs the better. |
| tasted like lemon poppy seed loaf - in porridge form
very thick-need to add a quite of bit of water. |
