Kiyuri Namasu (Cucumber Salad)

Posted by Celticevergreen  

Wonderful, wonderful salad. I've made this twice in three days, including for a neighbourhood, barbecue lunch. It got rave reviews from everyone. My only change was to add some sprinklings of dried dill weed. Yummo! UPDATE: I am spending a year... — Leggy Peggy Apr 25, 2009

Mango Kerabu (Spicy Sweet Mango Salad)

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Celticevergreen  

Absolutely superb — with a perfect balance of flavours. Made as written and served at room temperature. It fed four as a side dish. Thanks so much for an interesting and creative way with mangoes. UPDATE: I am spending a year travelling through... — Leggy Peggy Apr 25, 2009

Butter Chicken Curry

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Brian H  

This recipe is sensational. I made it as written (using dry red chilis) and think it outshines any restaurant version of butter chicken I tried. Do make it ahead to give the flavours time to develop. Thanks for a real keeper! — Leggy Peggy Mar 12, 2009

Chicken Vindaloo Balti Style

Posted by Brian H  

Rinshinomori and I were together when we made this tasty dish. As she mentioned, we cut back on the heat (to cater for tamer tastebuds) and had to replace the curry leaves with bay leaves. I felt a little something was missing and am very keen to... — Leggy Peggy Mar 12, 2009

Velvet Chocolate Sauce

Posted by LARavenscroft  

This is an amazing recipe — a cross between a chocolate sauce and a hot fudge sauce. We used it on vanilla ice cream, and also dipped bananas and strawberries in it. Thanks for such a winner. Yummo! — Leggy Peggy Feb 18, 2009

Tikka Marinade

Posted by CHILI SPICE  

Fantastic marinade. We used it for stir-fried chicken. Our only change was to use a red chili in place of a jalapeno. The fresh coriander (cilantro) is a perfect garnish. — Leggy Peggy Jan 27, 2009

Garlic, Chickpea & Spinach Soup

Posted by Sackville  

Perfect soup for a busy day. It is so easy to make and has a lovely depth and complexity of flavours. I used thickened cream (which I had on hand) and followed everything else. If using double cream, I'd probably cut back on the cornstarch. Don't... — Leggy Peggy Jan 22, 2009

Spinach and Chickpea Curry

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Daydream  

Love this curry — easy-to-make and packed with flavour. To cater for our tastes, I doubled the curry paste. Used halloumi in place of paneer, and added an extra squeeze of lime to each serving. Wonderful! — Leggy Peggy Jan 22, 2009

Wasabi Asian Noodles

Posted by Celticevergreen  

Wonderful, tasty and easy-to-make side dish. I made this as written — we loved the flavours. The heat really cleaned out my sinuses. In future I would cut the wasabi back to 2/3 tablespoon. Thanks for such a powerful recipe. Yummo! — Leggy Peggy Jan 20, 2009

Very, very tasty lamb shanks, indeed! If this recipe is any indication of the food you serve at home — can I come and live at your house? We all loved this divine dish. So easy to make and so delicious to eat. Our only change was to use 4... — Leggy Peggy Jan 19, 2009

Mexican Chicken Casserole

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by katew  

Excellent and quick dinner recipe — and very moorish. I have a great non-stick pan, so didn't need to use the oil to cook the chicken. Didn't have kidney beans, so spread a tin of refried beans on the base of the casserole, then added all the... — Leggy Peggy Jan 17, 2009

Sweet Potato Soup

Posted by Nanghelo  

Wonderful, wonderful soup. I made this as written and loved every mouthful. So did everyone else, including a very, very fussy guest. By the way, some of this can be made ahead. I roasted the sweet potatoes the day before I made the soup, because... — Leggy Peggy Jan 14, 2009

Mediterranean Roast Peppers

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Karen Elizabeth  

This could be served as a starter or side dish at an expensive, deluxe restaurant. It's absolutely sensational. My only changes were to double the fresh herbs and use slices of a soft vintage cheddar cheese because I had no mozzarella on hand.... — Leggy Peggy Jan 14, 2009

Dot's Cheese Bacon Puffs

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by MissMaggie  

Love these puffs. I've been lucky enough to eat these at Dot's house — warm out of the oven — and have made them at home, too. Ready in no time and great with drinks or in a lunch box. Thanks Maggie for posting. — Leggy Peggy Jan 11, 2009

Oregano & Chilli Haloumi / Hellim

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Chef floWer  

Haloumi/hellim is one of my all-time favourite flavours, and this recipe certainly does it justice. I made this as written (using the larger measurements) and loved every bite. I was especially impressed by how mild the chili was in the dressing.... — Leggy Peggy Jan 11, 2009

Kalamata and Tomato Crostini

Posted by Judy-Jude  

Sensational recipe that showcases all the flavours I love. I also love shortcuts, so I pulsed the olives in the food processor, then added the garlic, red pepper and capers, and pulsed again briefly. We enjoyed this for a tasty and colourful... — Leggy Peggy Jan 11, 2009

Bengali Potatoes

(4 people found this helpful) Posted by I'mPat  

Great side dish with mild and interesting flavours — and wonderful aromas. This is the first time I have used panch phoron, but not the last. Made this as written, using 3 cloves of garlic. Added some salt, which I thought was essential. Thanks Pat. — Leggy Peggy Dec 18, 2008

Asparagus Parmesan Soup

Posted by bmcnichol  

I'm gobsmacked — this is so delicious and so easy to make. It really does take only 10 minutes. Made a double batch for lunch for 4 people, and there was huge disappointment that I hadn't made a triple batch. Thanks for a real winner. — Leggy Peggy Dec 17, 2008

Mixed Tempura

Posted by Crafty Lady 13  

We had a great time making your tempura, and an even better time eating it. Four young people helped with the preparations (including a Japanese girl). We used tempura flour, a pound of medium-sized prawns, two small bunches of broccolini cut in... — Leggy Peggy Dec 17, 2008

Love these pickles! Very easy to make and thoroughly enjoyed by all of us — including a Japanese houseguest. The brine is especially delicious (I ate it with a spoon). Made with long, thin cucumbers and ordinary bird's eye chillies. I have a... — Leggy Peggy Dec 16, 2008
