Taste: A New Way to Cook

Prawn, Lime and Mango Salad : page 24
Brilliant salad! A very nice balance between sweet (mango), creamy (avocado), sharp (red onion and mixed salad), tangy (lime juice), and, well, prawn.
I used about two thirds of a large red onion, and that was clearly too much; and I think the dressing could use just a tiny bit more lime juice. Remember to dry the prawn well before frying (stir-frying, actually) - I used frozen, defrosted ones, and they emitted a lot of liquid (though I'm not quite sure how much of that is due to the fact that they had been frozen).

Watercress Crème Fraîche Tart : page 106
Strip the watercress of its leaves and discard the stalks? Ms Kapoor, you’re not serious, what will left of the watercress? Hardly anything. I chose to ignore this direction and just used the watercress including the stalks (perhaps this is a misunderstanding, and she meant some tougher stalks that were already removed?). I used smoked salmon instead of bacon, and it was very delicious! Be careful with adding salt, though.
