Summer roast potatoes

Posted on August 29, 2011 by Louise

New potatoes are de rigueur throughout the warmer months but as the weather starts to turn the thought of a proper roast potato, crunchy and dipped in gravy, makes even the autumn an inviting prospect. But new potatoes don’t mind … Continue reading →

Ottolenghi’s grilled mackerel with pesto and courgettes

Posted on August 25, 2011 by Louise

Doesn’t that mackerel look astonishing? It was such a beautiful lilac pink that it seemed a shame to cook it but, well, needs must when the stomach grumbles. I saw this recipe on the Guardian’s site at the weekend and … Continue reading →

Roasted tomato, garlic and goat’s cheese tart

Posted on August 24, 2011 by Louise

Tons of tomatoes, a bit of forgotten puff pastry left over from last week’s anchovy tart and plenty of herbs on the balcony made me start thinking about another tart. And it seems I’m not the only one: both David … Continue reading →

Bill Granger’s Greek salad with halloumi

Posted on August 23, 2011 by Louise

Bill Granger again? Halloumi again? Yes, and I’m not going to apologise because it won’t be long, at least in the UK where it already feels like autumn, before tastes like this seem like a distant memory. This is a delicious mini-tweak to … Continue reading →

Wednesday roast: classic two-lemon chicken

Posted on August 17, 2011 by Louise

Why is it a Sunday roast? Why not a Monday, or Tuesday, or even Wednesday roast? Yes, yes, I get all the likely history and the fact that most of neither have the time or energy to think about a … Continue reading →

Simon Hopkinson’s anchovy and onion tart

Posted on August 16, 2011 by Louise

I’ve never been much of a fan of telly chefs; I remember vaguely watching the Galloping Gourmet prancing about a kitchen in the days of black and white television, I probably watched some Delia under duress in the seventies and … Continue reading →

Summer survival kit: what you really need for easy everyday food

Posted on August 12, 2011 by Louise

It struck me this week that I had too little, and yet too much stuff. Too little because, once the shops started to close early, I didn’t have enough required staples to make a cup of tea (milk); too much … Continue reading →

Piperade…or what to cook when the shops are shut

Posted on August 9, 2011 by Louise

I know it might seem frivolous to write about food when London’s burning but, well, since I am scared out of my life by the proximity and madness of current events, I am focusing on what I can do to … Continue reading →

Salbitxada…or tomato and almond pesto by another name

Posted on August 8, 2011 by Louise

Is this easy? Yes. Delicious? Absolutely. Unpronounceable. Without a doubt. But I would just concern myself with the first two; you need to know what it tastes like not what it sounds like. Salbitxada comes from the Valls area of … Continue reading →

Lamb burgers with lime leaves

Posted on August 4, 2011 by Louise

The burger can be much-maligned but, what with Obama being a bit of fan, especially after the week he’s just had, and the advent of such delights as Young and Foodish’s BurgerMonday (and Tuesday), it seems to me that its joys are being wrested away from chains … Continue reading →
