Flavours of the Sun
By Patricia Lousada & Charlotte Fraser
Penguin Books - 1994
A good idea, but ...
The recipe says it serves 2 as a main and asks for a half recipe of their Pizza Dough (p122). I made the whole recipe, thinking I'd have extra to freeze. Not. I used the whole recipe for two dinner.
The onions took a lot longer than 30min to cook, but they were delicious.
I cut the eggplant/aubergine slices into quarters to cover the pizza.
Actually it was a nice combination, caramelized onion, eggplant, pesto, feta. Only the instructions left a bit to be desired.

Nothing fancy, but this was easy and delicious. The marinade (yogurt, Dijon mustard, olive oil, garlic, ground cumin and coriander, S&P) came together quickly. The chicken waits till you're ready to cook it. Yum.
Will try this again soon with pork chops.

Prawn and Fish Couscous : page 87
This is ok, but ...
- Serves 4? Don't think so. I made more or less a whole recipe. The two of us ate it all; it might stretch to 3 with a salad or some kind of side dish.
- The shrimp never get cooked per the instructions. I had frozen, cooked ones. Just put them on the sheet with the cod as it baked.
- Had some lovely, fresh green beans, so I cut them in short bits, more or less pea-sized, boiled them for a bit and used those instead of peas.
- My chicken stock was unsalted and I forgot to compensate. Thus contributing to a lack of flavor.
Interesting idea, but needs some flavor oomph.

This was OK, nothing special.

Scrambled eggs with a difference for dinner. Mixed with garlic-infused white wine and gruyère (I used comté) and scrambled. Good stuff.
