I have a large number of books and have moved into a smaller residence with not as much room for them. I am surprised that an entire shelf is dedicated to cookbooks. Now if you are anything like me you have cookbooks that you have not even tried recipes from. So I have decided that I am going to go through all the cookbooks on the shelf and try to cook something from them each day until I decide which ones can go.
First on the list: No time to Cook by Donna Hay
Double Sticky Ribs page 76
These turned out great although I didn't follow the recipe exactly as I already had the ribs boiled in the freezer. Next time I will boil the ribs as outlined in the recipe and see how much more flavour they have. The sticky sauce was very tasty and my guest also enjoyed this one.
Asian Ginger Prawn & Noodle salad page 19
It tried this one for our lunch one day. It was easy enough that I had time to make this in about the same time I would have made us sandwiches. I loved the dressing and will make it many more times for myself but my companion is not a fan of ginger so this salad was an absolute no for him.
Pancetta Baked Eggs page 30
We both enjoyed these and they were very easy to make....Definitely skip the salt in the recipe. I do not usually cook with salt but this turned out really salty with the already salty pancetta. I would definitely make them again without salt.
Perfect Pot Roast Chicken page 108
Just a basic no brainer....tasty
Overall I will definitely keep this cookbook and try some other recipes later on. There are a great number of things I would like to make from this book and since the first few all tasted good it's a keeper.
