By Marmaduke Scarlet

By Marmaduke Scarlet
04/28/13 22:53
Nigel Slater's chicken pho soup You may have been aware of my recent tribulations when my taste buds took a bit of an involuntary sabbatical. I was beside myself, they hadn't even left a forwarding address. I'm not entirely sure where they went nor what...

A quick midweek supper: sausage and roasted fennel stew
By Marmaduke Scarlet
04/25/13 02:43
Sausage and roasted fennel stew For me f lattery is when someone requests one of my recipes or meals. It makes me absurdly happy. So last weekend's request for my Sunday lunch accompaniment of roasted fennel stew had me doing a little dance of glee on the...

By Marmaduke Scarlet
04/20/13 00:59
Wild leek potato cakes I don't know if Bing, Satchmo, Billie, Tony, Doris, June or my favourite Mills Brothers were much into their food or even foraging but when they sang "the best things in life are absolutely free . . ." Perhaps the writers of Pennies...

Indonesian sambal matah I do love a good chilli sambal and there are as many different sambal recipes across Asia as there are days of the year. Oh where to start? (Although in my case . . . where to stop!) But I should really start at the beginning. I...

By Marmaduke Scarlet

From ennui to delight: ottolenghi's hot and sour mushroom soup
By Marmaduke Scarlet
04/08/13 00:01
Yotam Ottolenghi's hot and sour mushroom soup I seem to associate a loss of appetite with Victorian invalid food. Blimey, a diet of bread and milk, beef tea and calves foot jelly would have been less likely to develop an "interesting" condition and more...

Greek Easter Bread - Tsoureki I find it hard to window shop or merely browse at Phoenicia, my local Turkish and middle eastern grocery in Kentish Town, north London. Inevitably I return home clutching a bag of interesting spices or a jar of preserved vegetables...

Easter kisses with blood orange curd Ah it is the season and the cook's thoughts turn to baking Easter treats. Actually I suspect cooks around the country are probably complaining about the bloody weather, wondering if the sun will ever shine in this country...

A quick asian-style vegetable pickle While my father's favourite sandwich of pickled beetroot and piccalilli is not for the faint-hearted, it was not enough to put me off pickles or chutneys; I grew up eating them with just about everything. But one of...
