This collection of recipes has a lot of hits and a few misses — I’m probably interested in making about 60-70% of them — so while it’s a nice collection, it’s not likely to be my all-time favorite. A few of the ingredients are available only in larger cities. Lyle’s Golden Syrup is an example — I couldn’t find it in my smallish town supermarkets, and there’s no substitute available — ordering online is an option, but not one I’m willing to pursue for a 10-minute recipe for lime granita. Thankfully, there aren’t too many of these obstacles. Many of the recipes evidence a distinct Asian influence (Thai, especially), with chiles, lemongrass, fish sauce, and various curries used in simple preparations. There’s a good mix of vegetarian, meat, poultry, and fish dishes, so essentially something for everyone. My usual practice is to make three recipes from each cookbook I review, and I followed that practice here. 1. Roasted Salmon and Beets with Herb Vinaigrette Entire dinners put together and baked on a baking sheet are in style these days and for good reason: they’re incredibly easy to make and clean up is a breeze since there’s only one pan. This salmon and beet entree is a good example of this. Start with thinly-sliced beets — roasted for about 20 minutes, then add a skinless salmon fillet topped with loads of fresh chopped chives, parsley and tarragon and roast for another 15 minutes. Serve with a mixed green salad dressed with a vinaigrette using the same herbs used in the baked salmon, and you have a winning dinner, easy to prepare (the recipe says 35 minutes and that’s almost exactly what I spent on this). I had golden beets from my latest CSA delivery, and a salmon fillet in my freezer, so choosing this recipe as one of my three was a no-brainer. A keeper, for sure, and suitable for casual weeknight dinners as well as for company. 2. Veggie Flatbread Sandwich with Feta-Yogurt Spread I usually have plain Greek yogurt and naan on hand. I use Greek yogurt in place of mayonnaise in things like chicken salad, and naan is so versatile: i used it often for pizza crust (it’s the perfect size for a single serving) and for sandwiches. It’s readily available in my small-town supermarket, too, so I just buy a few packages and toss them into the freezer. This light and fresh veggie sandwich is PERFECT for warm summer days. You combine the yogurt with some crumbled feta cheese to make a spread for the naan. Cucumber, red onion, avocado, tomato — all thinly sliced — layered onto the naan, topped with a lemon zest and an herb dressing, folded, cut — heaven! Light but filling. My CSA delivered the cucumber, onion, lemon and tomato; I just had to purchase the feta cheese. Dinner in about 15 minutes. Yum! 3. Rum Pound Cake with Lime Glaze I don’t make cakes very often — they always seem to be a lot of trouble. But I saw this recipe and decided to give it a try. This is a fairly classic pound cake, made with buttermilk with the addition of rum. The glaze is lime zest, lime juice, rum, and powdered sugar — the perfect accompaniment to the cake. I made my cake in a 9” x 5” loaf pan — it easily served 12 neighbors at a neighborhood get-together. Easy to make: mix and bake, then top with glaze. I’ll make this one again for sure. So there it is — 3 recipes, all winners. There are clearly some hits in here — and they’re different from the usual “meat and potatoes” simple recipes I often see. So … 4 stars (I like it). --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/13082541-good-food-good-life-130-simple-recipes-youll-love-to](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/13082541-good-food-good-life-130-simple-recipes-youll-love-to) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-09-17*
