At My Table: A Celebration of Home Cooking
By Nigella Lawson
Chatto & Windus - 2017
Turkish Eggs : page 14
I was really surprised at how much I loved this. I had tried another recipe once that had Greek yogurt paired with eggs and hated it. I think warming the yogurt made all the difference. Also the browned butter and Aleppo pepper didn't hurt either. Served with toasted sourdough bread for dipping in the browned butter, yogurt, and egg yolk.

Tomato and Horseradish Salad : page 89
I didn't like this one as good as I thought I would. Perhaps it was because I was unable to find fresh horseradish root and had to use some jarred chopped horseradish.

Tomato and Fried Bread Hash : page 26
I loved this and it was really easy. I served it with scrambled eggs.

I couldn't find spelt spaghetti so substituted whole wheat. Good but better with just a little more soy. Might have been because I used low sodium soy sauce.

Salt and Vinegar Potatoes : page 127
I made a recipe and a half of this and the three of us devoured them. Delicious. They went perfectly with the Parmesan Crusted Tilapia from Gale Gand's Lunch.

Potato Waffles : page 71
I used the leftover garlic and Parmesan mashed potatoes as suggested. I liked them better than the original potatoes. The bites of bacon with the waffle was delicious. Ketchup was also good on them. I'm sure I just made someone cringe. These waffles remind me a bit of the mashed potato cakes I've eaten and made all my life. I do like my families version better but these were still good.

Parmesan French Toast : page 38
I thought this made a nice snack. Interesting version of French toast.

Ginger and Walnut Carrot Cake : page 252
This cake is a little drier and less sweet than the usual carrot cake. I really enjoyed it with coffee. I also enjoyed the three types of ginger going on and the little bit of heat from them. It has ground and crystallized in the batter, ginger juice in the icing, and an extra sprinkle of crystallized on top. Getting the ginger juice was a breeze since she talks you thru it and I especially enjoyed how she showed you how in her show. You can do a search and watch her make this cake on you tube. I didn't have the cup and a fourth of chopped walnuts called for so I used about a half cup in the batter and a quarter cup sprinkled on top. It seemed like plenty to me.

This serves two so I made it for mine and sons supper. We enjoyed it but decided not enough to make again.

Garlic Parmesan Mashed Potatoes : page 66
I didn't do the optional topping. First taste I had to add more butter and Parmesan. Made them better but I prefer my mashed potatoes with milk and not potato water. This is my least favorite recipe from this cookbook. Hoping to try the Potato Waffles p. 71 with some of the leftovers.

Emergency Brownies : page 233
I wish I'd had some of the disposable pans in the size she says to use for this. Since I didn't I used a ramekin, but it would have worked better in the pans suggested. Despite that it was still delicious. Perfect size for 2 large or 4 small brownies.

Egg Tortilla Pie : page 19
I loved this. The crispy edges of the tortilla were perfect for dipping into the runny yolk. Loved the addition of hot sauce to the top before baking.

Catalan toasts : page 37
Simple but oh so delicious. I used toasted sourdough bread and very ripe Roma tomatoes. Will definitely be making these again.
