Rating: 3.8/5 
Comment: While this was very tasty, it took longer than your average stir-fry to prep and contained too many elements for a mid-week meal.
Use it again: No.

103. Pork chops with apple and sage (R. Allen)

Rachel Allen- Easy Meals
Rating: 5/5
Comment: Very tasty pork loin chops and very fast to prepare. This uses eating apples, cider, sage and creme fraiche. My mother told me about this and I will definitely be making this time and time again. I used yoghurt this last time which split on me so I think I'll stick to creme fraiche.

95. Santa Fe Pork Stew(avoca cafe book 1)

Avoca Cafe Cookbook (1) 
Rating: 3.5/5 
Comment: This was perfectly adequate, but the final taste versus the effort wasn't really aligned. It has quite a nice spice flavour to it, but not sure I like the overall taste. I did have quite a heavy cold when I tried this, however.
Use it again: Possibly. Everyone should own a copy of the original Avoca Cafe Cookbook.
Other nice newly tried recipes: Lemon Tart, Strawberry meringue roulade,Tuscan Bean soup, lakeshore pork, chicken marinated in honey and mustard, herb crusted cod, banana bread. shepherd's pie, pepperpot beef (use far less tomato than suggested),
Other nice recipes: Chicken and broccoli gratin, beef and guinness stew, pork normandy, chocolate and orange cake, brown bread,

79. Lakeshore Pork (Avoca Cafe)

Avoca Cafe Cookbook (1) 
Rating:4.5/5 
Comment: I love the normandy pork recipe from this book, but decided it was time for some variation. This was lovely though quite rich and creamy - pork was melt in the mouth. (It tasted much better than it looks in the photo :-). Used pork steak rather than loin.
Use it again: Yes.
