Cookbook Challenge Update - May part 1

I cooked a lot of recipes from Lorraine Pascale's cookbook whilst I was at home over Easter, so many in fact that I am splitting this post into two otherwise it will be ridiculously long. Yet again, Lorraine is hitting it out the park in nearly every recipe - I love having a cookbook that I trust so completely! Ready to see what we've been eating?...try not to get too hungry looking at these pictures (I know I will)

Speed: This took a little while but it wasn't massively labour intensive so it was okay

Taste: I liked the mushroomy-ness and of course the pastry, I am just not a massive beef fan so I didn't really enjoy the hunk of steak inside.

Repeat: Not likely

Speed: This was fairly quick and easy - I have never made soup from tomato juice and it made a nice change from tinned tomatoes

Taste: A little bit spicy for me but otherwise this was a tasty soup

Repeat: Probably

Speed: The jam took a little while but it was fairly low maintenance so I didn't mind at all, the toastie itself was very quick

Taste: Delicious! Absolutely the ultimate comfort lunch! I loved it!

Repeat? Yes!

Speed: This was a slower cook meal but it was also a put it in and leave it so very little effort involved

Taste: Absolutely delicious! I really enjoyed it - very comforting with mashed potato, a real warmer of a meal!

Repeat? Absolutely!

Speed: Fairly quick and easy to make

Taste: Absolutely gorgeous - I love cauliflower cheese so much - absolutely the best way to eat cauliflower!

Repeat: Yup!

Speed: Another slower cook meal but definitely worth it, low effort

Taste: Delicious and comforting with mashed potato and the lovely wine sauce!

Repeat? Yes!
