Not Impressed
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

The goodness in this comes from the goodness of the individual ingredients and not so much from the magical coming together... of them. Goat cheese is good. Grape tomatoes are good. Greens are good. But they don't become something greater when combined in this recipe. I used a premium balsamic and a premium olive oil and wish I hadn't. The recipe doesn't do them justice, and I am left with a really expensive salad that is overwhelmed by goat cheese and underwhelmed by bland canned beans.Read more

A staple at our house on busy week nights
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

As you say in your cookbook Ellie, some nights it is just too difficult to "cook". This has the elements of protein with the... beans and cheese, and just have a couple pieces of crusty bread, and you've got it.Read more
