Tofu Risotto

Posted by Chouny  

Loved this risotto (made for the first time last night). It had a really great flavour, and we ate it all up! Our tofu did come apart completely, but that happens in a few recipes so may be down to the brand I use - you definitely want the tofu as... — Boo L Oct 25, 2009

Tropical White Sangria

Posted by Rebecca Louise  

How did I never review this?! I just saw another recipe for white sangria and wondered if I had ever reviewed this one - seems not! I made this about 2 months ago when our Spanish assistant at school left and had a barbecue for her leaving do.... — Boo L Aug 6, 2009

Really Good Vegetarian Meatloaf (really!)

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by SaraFish  

I stuck to the recipe on this one, except for adding literally an extra shot of sauce, and caramelising the onions first. I didn't cook this for the full 45 mins and it was a little moist, but it was really good. I really liked how easy this was -... — Boo L Aug 3, 2009

Salmon and Brie Pie

Posted by JustJanS  

I made this last night for a friend and was VERY impressed. In the absence of an 8 inch pie tin I ended up using an 8 inch cake tin, so obviously there wasn't enough room for all of the filling - but it made very good pasta sauce for my lunch... — Boo L Jul 30, 2009

Korean Spiced Kidney Beans

Posted by Fluffy  

Fast and easy as others have said, and quite a nice flavour to them. I think they need serving with something other than plain rice as the flavour is a bit same-y after a while, but a good find Was slightly surprised to see TOMATO in a Korean... — Boo L Jul 24, 2009

Dal With Spiced Tomatoes and Potatoes

Posted by Busy Student  

Made this last night and overall found it very pleasant. I was surprised by the tomatoe-y-ness of it - maybe next time I'll use a little less - and I've never had daal with that much ginger in it before, but overall it was a nice meal, and I shall... — Boo L Jul 24, 2009

Honey Ginger Grilled Salmon

Posted by Mirj  

How have I never reviewed this?! I've made this... oh maybe half a dozen times now, and it's always a winner, even if you slightly mess up the ratios in the marinade (I often screw up and add too much honey). It's a beautiful dish for 1 even if... — Boo L Jun 10, 2009

Outrageously Easy and Healthy Bean, Corn and Sprouts Bowl for One (Vegan)

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Anu  

Nom nom nom I am eating this now. I stuck to the recipe, except I used slightly more generous quantities (small cans of everything so e.g. about 150g of corn). The paprika and cumin work sooo well together and serving it with garlic bread was a... — Boo L Apr 14, 2009

Strawberry Cheesecake French Toast

Posted by looneytunesfan  

Just made this this morning as an alternative to our normal English-French toast (which is basically just egg) with syrup. It's nice, and made a pleasant change, but it's quite cloying. I think it might work better with fresh strawberries to cut... — Boo L Mar 7, 2009

Amazing Coconut Pie

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Janet Knowles  

I was actually pretty disappointed with this. For starters, after 40 minutes at 350 it was still wobbling away like it was more liquid than solid, and it took me over 50 to get it done. Even then it tasted too eggy for my liking, and was just a... — Boo L Feb 28, 2009

Salmon Stuffed in Puff Pastry

Posted by ~Rita~  

I've sat here wondering whether to give this 4 stars or 5? The quantities of spinach, garlic and onion were just right, and the cooking time was perfect - just what I was looking for (All my recipes for salmon en croute are for an entire side of... — Boo L Feb 11, 2009

Chocolate Potluck Cake

Posted by tootyflooty  

Nom nom nom. Just made this. Had to sub olive oil for veg oil (because the only veg oil I've got I used to fry falafel in and didn't want to make the cake taste bad!) and a bit of plain yoghurt to top up the vanilla yoghurt but it's lovely. I was... — Boo L Feb 7, 2009

Spicy Shrimp In Coconut Milk

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by MizzNezz  

Eating it as we speak and it's so so good. Like others I used less coconut milk than called for, but I still couldn't get the sauce to thicken up, and didn't have any corn flour on hand. REALLY good flavours though — Boo L Feb 4, 2009

Oatmeal Cottage Cheese Pancakes

Posted by bramble  

Gorgeous little pancakes - turned out beautifully. (My friends were seriously suspicious until they came out of the pan, when they were gobbled up!) We doubled the recipe for 3 of us (the double batch made 10 2.5" pancakes) with a little bit of... — Boo L Jan 22, 2009

Bailey's Irish Cream Liqueur (Gift-Giving or for Yourself!)

Posted by Tweeky  

We made a batch just after Christmas, that was gone within 2 days. Having read others' reviews we used less than a whole tsp of almond, and it was STILL too almondy - it may well be easier with making multiple batches in one to reduce the amount.... — Boo L Jan 10, 2009

Carrot and Coriander Winter Soup

Posted by Amanda in Aberdeen  

Just made this for the first time and it's got a really good flavour - garam masala works well. I found the fresh coriander a little unappetising, although the flavour was good. — Boo L Oct 27, 2008

Caramelised Onion & Lentil Patties

Posted by Chickee  

Just tried this one for the first time - substituting a sweet potato for the 2 carrots (or rather half a sweet potato, since I only made a half quantity) and using a whole egg rather than 2 egg whites. I ended up making more patties than... — Boo L Aug 18, 2008

Lentil Patties

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Nimue2  

I'm a student, a rower and a vegetarian - i.e. I need lots of protein and have no scales and no money. This was a cheap protein packed recipe that was easy to make, albeit it not very flavoursome. I tried it with onion and cumin but possibly... — Boo L Jan 29, 2007
