Pumpkin curry with chickpeas
61 comments
"Made this for a Thai-themed dinner party - thought I'd made loads, and would be able to freeze the extra, but every scrap was eaten, with loads of compliments, and everyone asking for the recipe! Used Thai red curry paste (wouldn't advise the green variety, as it has totally different, aniseedy taste), butternut squash, added spinach as others suggested, and served it with Thai Sticky rice. Brilliant, and so easy! "

Spiced carrot & lentil soup

"Very simple and quick, from store cupboard ingredients - my hand slipped a bit when adding the chilli, but we do like our food quite spicy. Husband's comment, on first spoonful, "That tastes terrific!" This will definitely become a regular make, both for everyday and as a dinner party starter."

Spinach & ricotta gnocchi

"I appreciate Cookie's concerns (above), as I always struggle with American recipes with their 'cups' and 'sticks of butter' etc. (to be honest, I still work, mentally, in ounces and pints) However, surely this problem is just something you expect if you want to access websites from other countries? If you start giving dual measures for each recipe, it just gets too cluttered and confusing for easy use, by anyone. Maybe a conversion chart somewhere on the website, rather than attached to each recipe ? (Haven't actually made this recipe yet, by the way - just noting which ingredients I need to buy for it!)"

Broken biscotti ice cream with hot mocha

"A perfect, fuss-free dinner-party treat, mostly made in advance, and with a great combination of hot/cold; bitter/sweet; crunchy/smooth. Absolutely all our friends who have tried it have raved about it, and asked for more!"
