Continuing one of my favourite threads on MN. I've tagged everyone who's been on the thread this year, but it's not an exclusive club - the more the merrier!

Samosas - as per usual I didn’t quite do this! Though I made the actual samosas just didn’t turn them into samosas chaat. The dough was so easy and absolutely delicious- apparently by rolling the dough thinly and frying these are then Indian savoury biscuits called papdi. I would absolutely make these biscuits, so good. The samosas were really good, it’s not a difficult recipe just time consuming making the actual samosas. I would advise making at least twice as much pastry as stated, I’m in no doubt the full recipe would be amazing,

Sama Sama by Julie Lin - I made the spiced leg of lamb and it was so so tasty. Cooking the potatoes underneath meant they took on the spicy flavours from the lamb which was an absolute winner. The recipe isn’t available online so I’m unable to provide a link.

Samosa chaat recipe

Freshly made samosas take this samosa chaat to another level. Serve topped with tangy chutney, yoghurt, mango powder, coriander and sev.

I don't know why the name of the recipe isn't showing: Fennel see and chilli shortbread.

Seed! (I give up)

carrot and halloumi fritters
tasty

SummaLuvin · 24/08/2025 12:46

Roast carrot salad
Annoyingly I forgot the herbs which would have given it a pep, but it was great regardless.

Soy Glazed Aubergine, Bao
I had the soy glazed aubergine at BAO in Soho and it was utterly delightful. I found a video on their TikTok showing an overview of the dish construction and adapted it for my home cooking - roasting the whole aubergine rather than deep frying, and using crispy onion in place of beer batter crispy bits. I used this recipe for the soy glaze. Loved it as much as I did in the restaurant.

Recent meals include:

Creamy Tuscan chickpea soup - if you want to make it veggie, swap out the sausage for tofu and add a tablespoon of miso. if you added some rice or barley - this would make a main meal,

One-Skillet Salmon With Curried Leeks and Yogurt-Herb Sauce Recipe - the recipe doesn't say to do this but past experience has taught me to squeeze the liquid out of the grated cucumber before adding to the yoghurt. I baked the salmon in the oven so that I could cook the leeks at the same time. (Guess who doesn't do the washing up in our household!)

Korean Beef Noodles - my love affair with gochujang continues. Super easy hands off cooking.

Sticky chicken wings with plum ketchup - this was lovely but made way too much plum ketchup. Now on the lookout for ways to use this up!

Bring Tuscany to Your Table With This Comforting Chickpea Soup

This velvety Tuscan chickpea soup features sausage, garlic, rosemary, and leafy kale with Parmesan and olive oil for a cozy, protein-packed weeknight dinner.

A few new ones for me - the first however isn't new but is a twist

Thomasina Miers Carnitas
Love this recipe and do it for high days and holidays as it is a long cook. I had some boneless pork ribs that needed using and tested them out as a substitute for the pork belly. The smaller amount meant the dish was done in 90 mins (and a very hands off 90 mins at that). Not quite as juicy as the fattier pork belly but cooking them in lard helps that anyway. Became a doable mid week dinner!

Sophie Wyburd Sausage, Peppers and Bean Stew
This is on her substack - It is in the paid for bit Anyhow, was part of a post about summer eating and will come as no surprise to learn that this was delicious. It involves roasting some quartered tomatoes for a good hour and then chop onions, heat, add peppers, garlic, chilli, tomato puree, beans, stock. roast sausages add all together - addition of lemon zest and juice really lifts it!

Bold Bean Co Green Goddess Salad
Another good bean recipe but stars of the show were the green goddess dressing and the hot honey halloumi (spoken as a 'not a fan of honey')

Olia Hercules Chicken Cotoletta sandwiches
Can't find an online recipe (may be on on New York Post?) But simple and delicious quick supper - bash a chicken breast until thin, cut on the horizontal, flour, egg, panko, shallow fry and then serve in ciabatta bun with Marie Rose sauce on the bread, some crunchy lettuce and slice of tomato. Delicious

Corn and Miso Chicken
Another Sophie W, on her social and full recipe on substack. Absolutely delicious, miso, butter, garlic bashed up and smeared under the skin of whole chicken which is roasted and then left to rest for 45 mins. Meanwhile fresh corn, shallots and garlic are sautéed, have a bit of a dance with some white wine, introduce the chicken juices, add in some chives a bit more miso. Pour corn onto serving platter and carve chicken into portions and devour. Delicious umami & sweet flavour combo

BTW, I have 5 30 day free substack memberships for Feeder which is Sophie W's substack. After the 30 days I guess you cancel or renew as paid subscriber. If anyone wants one, do send me a PM..

Scandi style salmon
delicious

Robin60 · 26/08/2025 17:28

For a bank holiday meal with friends I made this and it went down very well - with some delicious leftovers for us today.

Crispy chicken wings with pomegranate ketchup - this is from Dinner Tonight by Meliz Berg. I kept pretty close to this recipe except using thighs instead of wings. This was full of flavour and the ketchup really added to the dish. I also made the caramelised onion and orzo basmati rice which I’ve reviewed before - so delicious. To accompany the meal I made Chunky crunchy cheesy salata - this too was from Dinner Tonight and added a lovely fresh and tangy crunch to the meal. Would definitely make again.
Finally, the dessert was a Brown Sugar Butterscotch cake from One Tin Bakes by Edd Kimber - a lovely moist cake which includes adaptations to make it vegan. I made it on an 8x8 tin so halved the recipe. It has reminded me how much i enjoy his recipes. There are options to size down these cakes to make something for a smaller group as well as a larger party size. Great idea and very welcome when you want a small sized sweet treat just not lots of leftovers.

Chunky Crunchy Cheesy Salata

This salad has pure holiday vibes written all over it. If you can source Ezine peyniri, a white cheese from Ezine, in North-Western Turkey, then it really is the best cheese to use in this salad. It’s creamy and less crumbly than most brined white chee...

SummaLuvin · 31/08/2025 15:31

Sausage Gochujang Rigatoni, Xiengni Zhou, mob
Simple and tasty. I often resent the effort and extra pan from a panko crumb until I eat it, it’s always worth it (especially if DH is doing the washing up)

Peach & Ricotta Sbriciolata, Nicola Lamb, Kitchen Projects
Lovely easy pudding. Seems endlessly adaptable for different fruits too.

MrsLargeEmbodied · 31/08/2025 16:06

I've had an Emily English week.

Banana Breakfast Loaf
This is really great but I'd leave off the banana on top, day 3 and it's gone mouldy...that said I've just picked it off! Its quite dry so definitely needs serving with some yoghurt, I've had it with yoghurt and some blueberries.

Pad Thai
I made this with udon noodles and it was delicious! I feel really nervous making Asian dishes and whilst I appreciate this is likely a simplified version I was really happy with the flavour, keen to make it again.

Balsamic Mushroom Omlette
I can't spot this recipe online, it's from her new book (same as the above). Essentially your usual omelette but instead of cheese it was blobs of cream cheese - I had some to use up and would definitely do this again in lieu of cheese. For the mushrooms they were cooked in balasamic and with thyme - a really tasty lunch.

Spicy Sichuan Wontons, Marions Kitchen
It didn’t take long to get the knack of folding these. They were well worth the effort, and the sauce was the perfect accompaniment.

Pompoms88 · 08/09/2025 14:55

Apple Crumble Overnight Oats - Emily English
Another Emily English recipe, I didn't bother with the crumble topping but the oats were delicious and I'll definitely make again, it was a really filling breakfast.

Cheesy Pasta with Grated Courgette and Pangrattato - Theo Randall, Verdura
I'd picked up courgettes to make soup but then the sun came out so I needed to pivot. This was a super easy pasta - grated courgettes, mascarpone, garlic, parsley. I was feeling lazy with the pangrattato but it was worth doing and a nice crunch on top

toastofthetown · 09/09/2025 08:33

I’ve been terrible at keeping up with this thread lately!
Kale and coconut fried rice - Cookie and Kate
Super simple but I really liked the toasted coconut in this.

Halloumi Jambalaya- Gousto
I converted this to be made in the rice cooker and it was predictably tasty.

Caramelised garlic, courgette and butterbeans - Meera Sodha
Had some courgettes from a neighbour and every year I forget every courgette recipe I’ve ever made. It would have been nicer with the Bold Beans but still very delicious with Lidl’s offering.

Maharani Salad - Meera Sodha, Dinner
I haven’t really gelled with Dinner - maybe it came at the wrong point in my life but I’m trying to give it another go. This was as I expected, good but not a knockout. Would have it again though.

Tomato salad with tahini ginger sauce, chilli oil and crumpet croutons - Ixta Belfrage, Mezcla
I’ve had my eye on this since I got the book but never got around to making it. I overcooked the croutons so they were a bit tough but it was a really great salad recipe and one it make again. The leftovers held up surprisingly well too.

Apple crumble overnight oats - Emily English
Saw these and shamelessly copied! Also found them delicious and probably going to start an overnight oats phase here.

Just made Creamy Baked Prawn Rice from Long Day, Cook This by Justin Tsang and it went down a storm. It’s the first recipe I have made from this book so it bodes well for future meals. I would say that the amount of rice per person is madness, and I have a good appetite- 200g per person! It will be a regular in this house. Apologies but I was unable to find the recipe online, if yiu would like the recipe feel free to make contact.
