I’m delighted to be part of Bernadette’s Cookbook Challenge, where several of us are challenged to try recipes from the same cookbook and share what we thought about the recipe and the cookbook.

This month we checked out RecipeTin Eats: Dinner by Nagi Maehashi

RecipeTin Eats: Dinner by Nagi Maehashi.

This is what the author of this cookbook, Nagi Maehashi, has to say: “I believe you can make great food with everyday ingredients even if you’re short on time and cost-conscious. You just need to cook clever and get creative!” Since this is my philosophy as well, I knew I would enjoy trying some of the recipes.

I chose the Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto Pasta Salad and loved it. It was easy to make and used ingredients I always have on hand including fresh basil growing in a pot on my patio. It was a refreshing meal in one bowl, perfect for a sunny Spanish day, eaten outside on my terrace overlooking a lemon grove.

Check out the post for the recipe and the blog for recipes others choose

I made the Swedish Meatballs reviewed by John Rieber for hubby, and he loved them.

Thanks, Bernadette for organizing this fun challenge and introducing us to a variety of great cookbooks.

As I said, Foster’s “Amanda” adventures are designed to take readers to exotic places around the world, illuminating the unique aspects of each location.

I’ve never been to Malta, but this book makes me want to – let’s dive in and hear from the Author!

Here’s the plot for this new chapter in Amanda’s adventures:
