A luxurious version of Macaroni cheese from ” The Seafood Shack ” by Kirstie Scobie and Fenella Renwick. I visited Ullapool in the 1980s but this makes me want to return to try out the original version and other good things this restaurant serves.
A rich and creamy Vietnamese soup from ” Vietnamese made Easy” by Thuy Diem Pham. She descibes it as her quick and easy version of Bánh Canh Cua Nuóc Côt Dùa.
I found this in the excellent book ” Home Food” by Olia Hercules but it originates from a cafe called Tromso in Forest Gate . Sadly the owners have moved back to Norway but were happy for this easy brunch or supper to be shared.
These delicious oily and garlicky clams are from ” Mezcla” by Ixta Belfrage. They can be served as a starter or a main. Instead of the chickpeas they can be tossed with pasta, or served with grilled bread or chips.
