Basic Lentils reviewed by ZosiaFrom: Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone (reviewed 11th April 2013)This is a very reliable and delicious way to prepare lentils. Simmered with some vegetables, aromatics and bay leaves, this is my go-to recipe for cooking... | |
fried thai pork and shrimp balls reviewed by westerFrom: I Love Meatballs! (reviewed 11th April 2013)The shrimp was difficult to chop to a paste, and the meatball mixture was quite sticky. It was worth it though: very tasty, even the kids loved it (I have... | |
Asparagus and Ricotta Tart reviewed by kaye16From: Vanilla Garlic (reviewed 11th April 2013)Tasty.

Frisee Salad with Bacon and Eggs reviewed by westerFrom: Cook This Now: 120 Easy and Delectable Dishes You Can't Wait to Make (reviewed 12th April 2013)This may be "more restrained" than the salad it was based on, it is still about "flavorful excess". Big bold flavors, not for the garlic-shy. | |

Aztec Beef & Chocolate Stew with Almonds reviewed by SovayFrom: Slow Cooking from Around the World (reviewed 13th April 2013)Very successful - I was a bit apprehensive at first about the quantity of cocoa but it was fine. What the recipe doesn't mention (but I was aware of from... | |
Peperonata reviewed by SovayFrom: The Vegetable Bible: The Definitive Guide (reviewed 13th April 2013)I'm not really justified in counting this as a new recipe since to a great extent it's the kind of basic vegetable stew I'd normally make without a recipe... | |
Mango Sorbet reviewed by friederikeFrom: The Perfect Scoop: Ice Creams, Sorbets, Granitas, and Sweet Accessories (reviewed 13th April 2013)Very nice.

Shaved fennel salad with Parmesan and orange zest reviewed by westerFrom: Cook This Now: 120 Easy and Delectable Dishes You Can't Wait to Make (reviewed 15th April 2013)I made the variation without the Parmesan, as my husband doesn't like cheese. Simple and good. | |
Braised Pork Chops with Tomatoes, Cream and Porcini Mushrooms reviewed by SovayFrom: Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking (reviewed 15th April 2013)Excellent - the only reason I haven't given it 5 stars is that I don't like the texture of reconstituted dried mushrooms. Next time I'd be tempted either... | |
Not Your Mom’s Tuna Melt reviewed by southerncookerFrom: Leite's Culinaria (reviewed 15th April 2013)This tuna melt was very good but a little messy to eat. The filling was warm and the cheese melted perfectly in 7 minutes. Next time I’ll just add the... | |

Carrot and Walnut Cake reviewed by kaye16From: Ottolenghi: The Cookbook (reviewed 21st April 2013)Pretty good, but it seems to me that betting the egg whites separately doesn't really add anything.
