Month: March 2021

Prawn and Butternut Curry with Spinach

This is a gentle curry made with garam masala because I can’t find my curry powder and didn’t want to start grinding spices. The mild flavour of golden butternut squash goes well with the sweet acidity of tomatoes, flavours lifted with lime juice and different succulent sweetness of prawns. A handful of spinach added at…

Cavolo Nero and Bacon Soup

There’s a background smack of chilli to wake up the taste buds in this otherwise gentle soup brimming with veg. Scraps of bacon contribute a surprising amount of richness while rosemary and bay give the stock cube broth a boost of flavour. I served it with a separately poached egg and crusty bread and butter…

28 Feb 21

Boris has spoken, told us about his road map out of Lock Down and it’s long and slow. Easter is off, the country unlocked for UK holiday rentals the following week, 11 April. Sadly, our Easter in Rye is not going to happen but happily we have a trip to Mousehole looming. The weather is…

Smoked Haddock and Spinach Fish Pie

Hopefully spring is truly on its way but there is still a lot of chilly weather and what I want to eat is food with mashed potato. This is a lovely fish pie, just smoked haddock and spinach with a Dijon mustard-seasoned parsley sauce and a couple of hard-boiled eggs. Definitely a fish pie amongst…

Spinach and Roast Mushroom Soup

Roasting mushrooms with lemon juice and olive oil is a useful idea to remember. They end up juicy and tender, creating more juice than they eventually do when fried. For this soup, it meant I had exactly the right amount of time – about 15 minutes – to soften spring onions and garlic in butter,…

Leek and Bacon Risotto

Plenty of leeks, a generous seasoning of thyme with a hint of lemon zest and garnish of crisp scraps of smoked bacon swirling round buttery and white wine-lapped rice, are a happy combination. I started cooking hours before the risotto was served, getting it to the stage where wine is added to buttery rice, so…

Lock Down Soup with Lardons and Parmesan

This chunky vegetable soup begins by browning smoked bacon lardons, releasing its fat to fry onion and giving nuggets of flavour. If you happen to have a chunk of Parmesan, grate some over the top, adding a swirl of your best olive oil. If not, it doesn’t matter, it will still be richly flavoured. It’s…

21 Feb 21

Here we are rattling towards the end of this short month and tomorrow Boris is speaking to the nation about his Lock Down road map. I suspect it won’t change my life much although my grandsons might be back in my life soon and WE can venture out, hopefully to a restaurant or two. Big…
