Moro’s marrow, or how to turn a sow’s ear into a silk purse

Polpo’s runner beans with Pecorino and red onion
Runner beans in my world have, until now, always meant two things: a stringy challenge that is like eating dental floss and a constant reminder of my grandparents’ incredible green-fingeredness. Not a summer went by when we didn’t either eat … Continue reading
Savoy cabbage and Parmesan soup
There is a moment, about now, when the earth starts to wake up and smell, not in a too-many-dogs-not-enough-flowers way but more in a, well, earthy sort of way. I absolutely love it. I crave light more than warmth so … Continue reading

Friday tapas: homegrown courgette gratin, tortilla and salbitxada
In the Evening Standard last night there was one of those empty-headed ‘filler’ pieces that said that Rafael Nadal is one of the reasons why we’re buying more Spanish wine in the UK. There was no hard evidence that the … Continue reading
Cauliflower (or broccoli) with bagna cauda and chilli
Yes, yes I know, two posts about cauliflower in a week is too much for anyone. But it’s staring at me from the fridge, it needs eating and, having thrown a rather ridiculously large piece of watermelon away I’m loath … Continue reading
Three-month fridge defrost and a Riverford broad bean, feta and mint salad
I have banned myself from food shopping this weekend since I still have a ton of ingredients to use up from last week’s ill-advised farmers’ market run. And, as I can no longer see into the ice-box of my fridge, … Continue reading

Peter Gordon’s broad bean, bacon, chilli and tahini salad/sandwich
Sound odd? Yes, I thought so at first but, well, broad beans and bacon are natural frying-pan fellows, chillis are always good with green veg and tahini is one of those things that I always mean to break out of … Continue reading
