A nice, simple roast tray-bake dish with a pleasing combination of vegetables. However it’s rendered properly tasty by the lovely parsley, pine nut relish added to the plate at the end, as well as the excellent combination of spices used in the bake. Cumin seeds, sumac and a hint of chilli combine to give such a lovely, homely tang. From 1 – 2 – 3, pg. 80
Extremely good, extraordinarily expensive. Paella rice, saffron, king prawns, artichoke hearts, all big ticket items that cause this to have a hefty cost per plate. The ingredients here are beautifully balanced, the artichoke hearts in particular being a fine element with a gentle sharpness that stops any cloying that can come from the paprika, saffron, rice mix. But I would be very interested in experimenting with cheaper alternatives that wouldn’t ruin the balance. From 1 – 2 – 3, pg. 130

Really excellent, healthy lasagne. Refused to use nut milk for the roux, it’s just not a thing worth messing with if you otherwise have no grudge with dairy. On the subject of which, as I have learned is always required, I doubled the quantity of the roux and this was barely enough. Perhaps it is something I’m missing here, no recipe specifies enough… But I rather think it is others who are wrong in this case. Pesto is a lovely addition, lifting and seasoning the dish and removes any longing for the meaty undertones of a normal lasagne. I added…

This was wonderful, we did not have enough kirsch and the shortage was felt, but with more this would be spot on. From https://www.alsothecrumbsplease.com/authentic-black-forest-cake/
