Honey and Co’s pomegranate chicken with bulgur wheat salad

Posted on August 3, 2015 by Louise

When I started this blog, it was very much a way of recording the recipes I liked, a form of personalised cookbook that I could access anywhere. If I was staying with friends or family, and wanted to cook something for … Continue reading →

How to feel rich for a quid: herb flatbreads

Posted on May 28, 2015 by Louise

Some things in cooking are essential, some less so and knowing the difference is often what makes a recipe work or not. So, for example, I have often scanned flatbread recipes, seen the words ‘leave overnight/for a few hours’ and ignored … Continue reading →

How to feel rich for a quid: Puy lentils two ways

Posted on March 18, 2015 by Louise

Lentils were, once, something I avoided. They were red or green and reminded me of primary school, where we stuck dried split peas and lentils onto pictures, and I had no desire to eat them. But in the last twenty … Continue reading →

Tom Kerridge’s Best Ever Dishes: a weekend short-rib

Posted on March 13, 2015 by Louise

You may know Tom Kerridge from the telly or, if you’re very lucky, you have eaten at his two-Michelin-starred pub in Marlow. As a non-telly-owning freelancer neither applies; I learnt about him via my lovely friend Debora who, when editing … Continue reading →

Made in India’s coriander chutney chicken and Jaipur slaw

Posted on February 7, 2015 by Louise

The ‘Indian’ cookbook has, for me, always suffered from the ‘too many ingredients’ and ‘ones you can’t get hold of’ problem so I have never owned one. And I’ve always felt that my efforts were not really as good as … Continue reading →

Rory O’Connell’s kale, lemon and Parmesan soup

Posted on January 28, 2015 by Louise

That may sound like the most unpromising dish I have posted in a while but, believe me, this is extraordinary. I proofread Rory O’Connell’s book, Master It, a few years ago and thought then that it was incredibly insightful and … Continue reading →

Tomato and Parmesan clafoutis

Posted on October 6, 2014 by Louise

In the week, if I’m home, I aim for two things for dinner: use as little kit as possible, so one-pot, or do as little shopping as possible, so using storecupboard ingredients, or both. It’s partly a question of time, partly … Continue reading →

Caramelised fennel with goat’s cheese

Posted on September 27, 2014 by Louise

There aren’t many vegetable dishes which make me want to lick the plate. This is one of them. I’ve made it twice in a week, once as a starter, once for lunch and I’m already craving a third instalment.

Flammekueche

Posted on September 16, 2014 by Louise

Apparently it’s going to be 26º later this week and though that should lift my spirits, you know what, it doesn’t. I’m bored with cold food (aka salad) and lighter clothes and have already started clearing out all the stuff I’ve not … Continue reading →

Three Good Things: squid, roast potatoes, chilli

Posted on August 28, 2014 by Louise

I am a little sceptical, often with good reason, about cookbooks that sell themselves on a gimmick (e.g. a certain number of minutes; a limited number of ingredients). And I therefore had a bit of an aversion to Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s Three Good … Continue reading →
