Month: February 2021

Roast Carrot and Tomato Soup with Feta

This is such a simple soup; just roast peeled, halved carrots and halved tomatoes with a smidgen of olive oil, liquidize everything with vegetable or chicken stock and enrich and fine tune the flavours with a crumble of feta and squeeze of lemon. It ends up a rich, Heinz Tomato Soup colour with a creamy…

Lamb, Spinach and Potato Pie

I’m calling this a pie in the shepherd’s pie mode but instead of a mashed potato topping it has thin slices of potato quickly blanched then arranged French apple tart-style. The slices are tossed with oil, so they slide together nicely and surface slices crisp up deliciously well. I’m not quite sure what happened between…

Majorcan Tomato Toastie with Shaved Ham

You want your best, firmest, tastiest medium-size tomatoes for this sandwich as they are sliced very thinly and topped with finely chopped pitted black olives and capers with a drizzle of your best olive oil and another of your finest syrupy balsamic vinegar. I splashed out on Natoora’s so-called winter tomatoes If you can buy…

The Dish (with apologies to Katherine Whitehorn)

Many years ago, when I cooked a daily after work recipe for the Evening Standard, I wrote about Katharine Whitehorn’s Cooking in a Bedsitter first published in 1963 and again in 2008. Her pragmatic and amusing style was a breath of fresh air in world where most cookery books were wrapped up in etiquette and…

Chicken, Bacon and Mushroom Pie

One of my first kitchen jobs I had as a child was making pastry. I didn’t get to roll it out or drape it around any food, just the least interesting part of pastry making, measuring out the tablespoons of flour, cutting the fat over it and using my fingers to quickly rub the two…

Slow-roast Shoulder of Lamb

My photo shows the cumin dusted slow-roast shoulder of lamb with cous cous, aubergine, potatoes and shallots from One Pot Wonders, the lamb so soft it can be pulled rather than sliced. This recipe isn’t so photogenic but is far simpler to make, the lamb slow-roasted with onions and carrots, sitting on diced onion to…

Cumin Lamb with Creamed Hummus and Roast Parsnips

If you have leftover roast lamb, this is a interesting way of serving it that is very different from the obvious option of shepherd’s pie. Chunks of lamb are dusted with ground cumin and popped in the oven to heat through, turn slightly crusty and extremely aromatic. This moreish meat is piled over a sloppy,…

Pickled Grapes

I often go for months without eating grapes but there have been summers when the vine in my garden has been so productive it’s forced me to think outside and way beyond the box with what to do with the sweet, little green grapes. I’ve crushed them for squash, cooked them with pigeon, turned them…

Brie, Roasted Grapes and Pickled Cucumber Toastie

Molten, creamy Brie cheese with wafer-thin slivers of pickled cucumber and sweet succulent roasted grapes is a magical combination. I like it between slices cut from a country-style loaf, the outer sides of the sandwich buttered so they crisp and turn golden if the sandwich is going to be made in a toasted sandwich maker….

Golden Borscht

Borstch for me means a pureed beetroot soup, sometimes with onion and garlic, sometimes with tomatoes and/or red peppers. By fluke, as far as I was concerned, my beetroot order from Ocado (ie M&S) brought two huge turnip-looking beetroot that turned out to be golden inside. I boiled them and the flavour was incredible, very…
