Customer Review: Don’t try this at home
You may not have to be a vegetarian to enjoy the recipes in this book, but you’ll have to be a chef. And live in a big city. And have money. The recipes ask for Yuzu juice (a citrus fruit), verjuice (juice of unripe grapes), truffles, fresh porcini, banana shallots (?), cavalo nero (black cabbage, but you can use savoy cabbage instead), nuoc mam chay (Thai vegetarian fish sauce), Vietnamese mint. Even if I knew where to get any of this (Borough Market?), I would probably be very nervous while cooking, in case I ruin these rare and expensive ingredients. I have doubts about some of the methods as well. Can you, for instance, see yourself slice 4 avocados into 20 very thin slices, then stuff and roll them up? How are they not going to break, go brown, end up with finger prints on them? The picture looks fantastic, but not like something I’d ever be able to make. Even attempting it would be asking for disappointment. I’d love to eat the dishes from this book, but I’d rather have them put in front of me by somebody else. The pictures look gorgeous, the dishes sound tasty, but it’s not for your average home cook.

Customer Review: Don’t do digital!
I was very interested to read Mrs Howard’s review. I was so excited to receive this steamer as a Christmas gift - it steamed the vegetables beautifully. Unfortunately, after two or three uses the timer adjust buttons started to be a bit unreliable - sometimes they would work, sometimes they wouldn’t. Another couple of uses later, the thing stops steaming completely and won’t work at all. Very frustrating when you haven’t noticed until your meat is ready and then you realise you have completely raw vegetables to go with your meal! DON’T BUY THIS! I will be getting a more simple, clock ticking style steamer if I can exchange this one…… what a pain!
Customer Review: DON’T BUY THIS STEAMER!
I’m not new to steamers, using one every day. When my old one died (from years of use!), I bought this one as it seemed to have every feature I needed and was backed with the James Martin name. Three times I used it, and it worked. THE FOURTH TIME - it refused to steam. Now I’m faced with the hassle of sending it back to get a refund plus I’m down the ?7.99 I paid to have it couriered to me. AND I’ve got to go and buy another steamer! I’m really REALLY furious about this. So DON’T BUY THIS MACHINE - go and find one that works. AND I’ve given it one star because there’s not an option to give it NO STARS AT ALL.

Fast-and-Easy Black Beans & Rice
Contributed by Jennifer Severt
1 can black beans
1 can stewed tomatoes
Celery (optional)
Onion, diced (to your liking)
Taco or chili seasoning to taste
1 package boil-in-bag brown rice
Boil rice for 10 minutes. Empty into saucepan and add tomatoes, beans, celery,
onions, and seasoning. Simmer for about 30 minutes. Serve hot. (This can also be
microwaved: Boil rice for 10 minutes in a microwave-safe bowl. Empty into pot, add
remaining ingredients, and nuke for another 5-7 minutes). Note: This also makes
GREAT burritos. Just fill heated flour tortilla with the mixture. Add cheese or soy
cheese if you like, and top as desired.
