When my better half and I were in Italy recently he ate a dish called Pizzoccheri on a number of occasions. That dish originates from Valtellina in Lombary and includes buckwheat tagliatelle, potatoes, savoy cabbage and Taleggio or Fontina Cheese. I have not yet managed to find a local source of the pasta and though it can be ordered online I am sure the dried version is not the same. This is Nigella Lawson’s Anglo version from her book ” Nigellissima”.
More comfort food from Anna Jones for when you are not watching the carbs. You can swap other root vegetables for the squash if you like. Serve with Mustard and Ale Gravy or any gravy you like really.
Another perfect food combination from ” A Taste of Home” by Angela Hartnett. Use Calves liver if you can, but lambs liver works perfectly well too. I would serve this with some mashed potatoes and greens.
This is the first recipe i cooked from Claire Thomson’s eagerly awaited ” Home Cookery Year” which came out earlier this month. The book is divided into seasons so i am busy working my way through autumn recipes . Watch this space for a few more….
A classic Italian soup recipe from ” River Cafe Cook Book Easy” by Rose Gray and Ruth Rogers. In summer you can replace the tinned tomatoes with 500g of skinned and seeded ripe fresh tomatoes.
