Chicken Tagine with Green Olives and Preserved Lemon and Saffron Lemon Cous Cous

Moroccan tagine is one of my favourite solutions to a dinner party. It’s make ahead, easy, cooks itself and always goes down well. The classic combination is a mass of onion cooked to a slop and season with the classic Moroccan spice mix ras al hanout. It’s widely available but the best include rose petals…

Thai Cod and Crab Cakes with Cucumber Relish

This midweek treat for two might stretch to three if served with oven frites and a few crisp salad leaves under the cucumber relish. The fragile little crab cakes, made with breadcrumbs rather than mashed potato, firm up and create a gorgeous crisp shell in a hot oven. In the past I’ve made this recipe…

Cod with Tomatoes, Peppers and Black Olives

When I first wrote this recipe I was incredibly broke and to afford cod, which I’ve always loved, meant buying frozen. This time, my recipe uses fresh cod and I’m roasting it in the oven. One of my tips for the original recipe (pg 46 One Pot Cooking) was dusting the fish with salt and…

Greek-style Fig Spoon Fruit

If you have a fig tree in your garden you may be facing, as I was, loads of tiny, little unripe green figs and wondering what to do about them. I picked all mine and cooked and soaked them in many changes of water to remove fig latex. Yes, latex. It’s the white liquid that…

Fritatta with Spinach, Black Olives and Ragstone

When all else fails, it is hard to beat An Omelette and a Glass of Wine (great book title Elizabeth David). The combination for this one grew out of a yellow sticky that’s been on my computer from a River Café newsletter. Braised spinach with black olives and garlic became blanched spinach, black olives and…

Duck Noodles

This colourful bowlful was the consequence of not much leftover roast duck and very good stock made with the duck carcass. It could, though, be made with shredded chicken instead and a chicken stock cube; the broth is hot and interesting, thanks to fresh chilli, ginger, garlic and salty soy, fresh lime and Thai fish…

Carrot Borscht

There are many versions of borscht from Russia and Ukraine but I’ve never seen one made with carrot instead of beetroot. Both are dense, sweet root vegetables that puree beautifully and suit acidic and spicy seasoning. Carrot borscht looks stunning, the colour and flavour deepened and balanced by red pepper, lemon, caraway and chilli. Good…

Boeuf Bourgignonne

I love rich, dark beef stews and one of the best is boeuf Bourguignonne made with red burgundy wine. I am not convinced the dish will be radically better for being made with a very expensive, top-drawer wine but you get what you pay for and a mellow wine will give mellow results. The best…

Orchard Chutney

I really appreciate a stash of home made chutney and flicking through Thane Prince’s book, Perfect Preserves, the sound of Orchard Chutney chimed with me. It makes plenty from inexpensive, easily accessible ingredients and is so good that I’ve now made it twice. I buy £1 bags of small eating apples and pears from my…

Pork and Chorizo Cocido with Garbanzos

Next time you have roast pork, I recommend you use any leftovers to make this spicy and interesting stew. It’s a variation on a theme that appears in many of my books and recipe articles, a real favourite combination of food and hard to screw up. It could be made with cocktail sausages, ribbons of…
