The Hairy Dieters Eat for Life: How to Love Food, Lose Weight and Keep it Off for Good! (Hairy Bikers)

Beef goulash : page 86
I made this last night in an attempt to get back on track with eating healthily after the indulgences of the holidays. The beef was not as tender as I was hoping for it to be, but the sauce had a lovely flavour. It was a bit on the spicy side, but a dollop of sour cream (as suggested by the authors) helped cooled things down a bit and it all went very well with rice.

Chicken Provençal : page 79
This dish was simple and flavourful and went well with rice as suggested. I felt that the sauce was still slightly too thin even after adding cornflour, but perhaps I didn't stir it for long enough. The leftovers re-heated well for lunch the next couple of days.

Creamy mash : page 181
Not so much a recipe, but a method of just combining mashed potatoes with crème fraîche for a creamy, fairly light mash. Worked well with the Sausages and rich onion gravy recipe on p. 43.

Sausages and rich onion gravy : page 43
Very pleasantly surprised by how well this turned out. The gravy had good flavour (though I may use slightly less ketchup next time for less of a tang) and the cornflour helped it to thicken perfectly. Will definitely make this again.
