Hot aubergine and cheese sandwiches reviewed by wester

From: The 30-minute Cook: The Best of the World's Quick Cooking (Penguin cookery books) (reviewed 11th June 2013)

Lentils or Broad Beans in Savoury Sauce reviewed by Sovay

From: Off the Beeton Track (reviewed 23rd June 2013)

Peches Chinoise reviewed by Sovay

From: From Mom With Love . . .: A Complete Guide to Indian Cooking and Entertaining (reviewed 1st July 2013)

Green or wax beans with tomato and cumin reviewed by wester

From: Sophie Grigson's Country Kitchen: 120 Seasonal Recipes (reviewed 5th July 2013)

Chocolate-Chip Cookie Cake reviewed by Zosia

From: Baking for All Occasions (reviewed 8th July 2013)

Baked Mushroom Kibbeh reviewed by Sovay

From: A Wolf in the Kitchen: Easy Food for Hungry People (Penguin cookery library) (reviewed 10th July 2013)

Mushrooms Stuffed with Pork and Pine Nuts reviewed by Sovay

Slow-and-Low Dry Rub Oven Chicken reviewed by Zosia

From: Smitten Kitchen (reviewed 15th July 2013)

Chilled Cucumber Salad reviewed by friederike

Soy-Dipped Radish Salad reviewed by friederike

Braised Sausages with Cider and Hot Potato Salad reviewed by hipcook

Boeuf en Hachis reviewed by Sovay

Olive Oil Tart Dough reviewed by Zosia

From: The French Market Cookbook: Vegetarian Recipes from My Parisian Kitchen (reviewed 29th July 2013)

Good alternative to butter-rich pastry for savoury tarts. The dough dries out easily so one must work quickly; the trimmings were too dry to re-roll. The...

Spiced Tomato and Courgette Salad reviewed by Sovay

From: Modern British Food (Penguin Cookery Library) (reviewed 3rd August 2013)

Normandic Pork Braise with Cider and Mushrooms / Normandisch varkensvlees met cider en champignons reviewed by friederike

Chickpea and Almond Flour Icebox Cookies reviewed by kfranzetta
