Romanesco cauliflower is described as tasting like a cross between broccoli and cauliflower but with a nuttier flavour. This is my adaptation of a recipe provided by the Riverford Organic Box scheme which operates in the UK.Its also good with purple sprouting broccoli instead of the romanesco. The original recipe can also be found online if preferred.
Macaroni Cheese is great comfort food even if it usually blows the diet. The basic recipe can sometimes benefit from enhancement. This is my slightly simplified version of a recipe by Jimmy Garcia aka ” London’s Pop Up King”. Who would have thought this would be back on restaurant menus!
Oyster mushrooms, or other mushrooms can be used instead of wild mushrooms if preferred.
This is my version of a recipe published in ” The Geometry of Pasta” by Jacob Kenedy. Simple but delicious. I have used Penne but other short pasta could be used.
This root vegetable recipe is great comfort food for autumn/ winter. You can replace or add to the suggested vegetables with celeriac or swede and/ or add mushrooms. Nigel suggests serving with a trickle of yoghurt with some chopped mint. I think it works well with fried or poached egg. Ive also increased the spicing a little.
I used to eat chicken a lot more often than i do now, and would frequently turn to Nigel Slaters cookbooks for inspiration when i wanted to do something simple and quick. This is from his book ” Real Cooking” 1997.
This Penne recipe is from Nigel Slater’s ” Real Cooking” (1997). You can use any tube or shelled pasta and it can be dried or fresh. Just amend the cooking times for the pasta according to packet instructions.
