Maggie's Harvest
By Maggie Beer
Michael Joseph - 2008
Bread and butter pudding : page 415
Ingredients include Maggie's signature verjuice and also prunes and dried apricots. I left the crusts on the bread, and can't see why she said to cut them off. None was left for another day at our place.

Oxtail with orange, olives and walnuts : page 204
Definitely a new winter favourite. I had chestnuts that needed using, so used them instead of walnuts. It's hard to imagine that it could have been better without them.

Quince and prune tart : page 319
Was going to give this 5 stars, as it was really delicious. However, it's a bit fiddlesome, and I'm wondering if there's a simpler but equally tasty way to combine pastry, quinces and prunes. Also if you have very large quinces, three is too many. I saved a few slices for a later quince and apple crumble.

Sour-cream pastry : page 424
Maggie says she uses this pastry 99/100 times, so it ought to be good. At my first attempt (not being a natural with pastry!) I pulsed it too long past the "resembles course breadcrumbs" stage, so that when I added the sour cream it formed more of a sludge than a ball though I still managed to shape it and it tasted fine. I'll try it again and maybe review my assessment!
