Morsø Forno -

Cook Food. Eat Food. 08/04/19 20:37
I’ve been considering a pizza oven for a while – having cooked using these ovens a few times I knew how versatile they can be – Not just for cooking pizzas. I considered building one – great but not the most portable solution and it would need to be built...

Potato Rolls -

Cook Food. Eat Food. 06/12/19 22:38
I’ve been searching for the perfect burger bun for a while now. Or rather – I’ve been thinking about the qualities a perfect burger bun should have. More to the point – this bun also needs to stand up to juicier stuff like pulled pork as well as accommodating...

Red Slaw -

Cook Food. Eat Food. 05/12/19 23:22
This Red Slaw is quick and simple. I’ve not used mayo as I wanted something fresh and crunchy without any sloppiness. This slaw really suits being matched with rich meats and BBQ food. The sesame seeds don’t add that much in the way of flavour – it’s more...

Gnocchi With Mushroom Consommé, Beetroot & Roast Tomatoes -

Cook Food. Eat Food. 03/06/19 00:11
Leftover Mondays – always a good thing. I cooked far too many baked potatoes this weekend for post-fireworks food so I needed something to do with them. I was thinking mashed potato but then a friend of mine suggested gnocchi – great idea. To serve with...

Piccalilli -

Cook Food. Eat Food. 11/27/18 10:08
This is a slightly revised version of a piccalilli recipe I posted a couple of years back. I’ve sweetened things up slightly with a bit more pear and apple and increased the quantity of mustard seed. Ideally you need to make it now. The piccalilli takes...
Brill Poached In Beer With Cabbage & Pancetta -

Cook Food. Eat Food. 09/02/18 23:22
Brill – it’s a lovely fish. A nice clean meat with a good firm texture and not overly strong tasting. It’s a (slightly) cheaper version of Turbot. Unfortunately it has been over-fished and we should be encouraged to seek alternatives. But – I’m of the opinion...

Gremolata -

Cook Food. Eat Food. 07/22/18 13:15
This is a traditional accompaniment to osso buco but can also be used on other meats – it adds a fresh, acidic bite to fish and grilled meats. I used it last night on a beef stew – it really lifted the dish and made a deep, rich beef stew seem altogether...
Star Anise & Cinnamon Plum Jam -

Cook Food. Eat Food. 09/30/17 21:03
I used Mirabelle plums from the garden for this recipe but any type of plum should work with this jam recipe. A ratio of 1kg plums to 1kg sugar to 100ml water should be followed. Ingredients (for 1kg plums – see ratio above) plums granulated sugar 2 star...

Chicken Liver Parfait -

Cook Food. Eat Food. 07/18/17 00:37
This is beautifully rich and buttery but the Chinese spice adds a nice point to the flavour. What you’ll need 450g chicken livers 150g butter plus a bit more to top the parfaits with 1 shallot – finely sliced 1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic A few sprigs...

Pulled Pork Roll -

Cook Food. Eat Food. 07/13/17 00:38
It’s all in the detail with this Pulled Pork Roll. You need a decent bun to start with – a potato roll is the way to go here I think. And then something to offset the rich meat – a pickle or maybe a red slaw would work well. The bigger the joint of pork...

Sous Vide Chicken In a Honey and Soy Glaze -

Cook Food. Eat Food. 05/17/17 22:48
This dish was inspired by a couple of recipes from the Eleven Madison Park cookbook – a book I thoroughly recommend. I was a little apprehensive when I put this together because the mix of flavours did sound a little complex but they come together nicely...

Confit of Salmon with Puy Lentils & Apple Salad -

Cook Food. Eat Food. 04/24/17 21:58
This is a really nice way to prepare fish – cooked at a (reasonably) consistent and low temperature, the fish will retain its texture and moisture. The fish is cooked in olive oil – the oil will hold its temperature reasonably well for the cooking process....

Paneer -

Cook Food. Eat Food. 09/12/16 22:35
Paneer really is as simple as a recipe can be but it can be used as the base for so many brilliant and vegetarian-friendly recipes. Ingredients 3 litres whole milk 6 tablespoons lemon juice. Method Bring the milk to a boil in a large pan – staring all the...

Potato & Dill -

Cook Food. Eat Food. 09/12/16 21:37
Forget Bombay Potato – this is the ultimate Indian potato-based dish. The distinctive taste of dill adds a fragrant sweetness to the earthy turmeric-coated potatoes. Ingredients 5 or 6 medium potatoes (go for Maris piper) cut into bite-sized pieces 2 bunches...

Salsa Verde -

Cook Food. Eat Food. 09/04/16 21:38
This is a great sauce to be able to knock out – it goes with so many different types of food – fish, lamb, chicken.. or maybe just bread dipped into it. Make it to your liking – if you like it strong on capers (like I do) add more capers. Here’s what you’ll...

Kimchi -

Cook Food. Eat Food. 03/25/16 21:17
There are many different varieties of kimchi – Korea’s national dish. Recipes vary from region to region and preparation methods differ from family to family – so much so that you’re never going to really find one, true, authentic Kimchi recipe. Keeping...

Farro, Roast Squash, Chicory, Pomegranate & Goat Cheese -

Cook Food. Eat Food. 03/15/16 16:06
You might not find farro in your local supermarket but it’s worth hunting down if you can. I bought mine from Sous Chef – a site worth bookmarking. They stock a wide variety of ingredients and equipment that aren’t always that easy to source and delivery...

If you’ve spent any time cooking you’ll probably have made a tomato sauce at some point – it’s one of the most basic sauces you can make. There are however a couple of considerations that make the difference between an average sauce and something really...
