A recipe from ” The Hidden Hut” by Simon Stallard. Its good to make this in winter in the UK when crabs are usually both cheaper to buy and richer in the brown meat which makes this dish rich and flavoursome. Two whole crabs will give you about the right amount of crabmeat for this dish.
I’ve got a couple of Fennel Gratin recipes on this site already but this creamy cheesy version from ” Together ” by Jamie Oliver is definitely my favourite to date. And personally I think 8 is a bit optimistic unless it is seved among several other side dishes. Two of us wolfed it down alongside sausages. There were no leftovers…
A favourite recipe from ” New Covent Garden Book of Soups ” with influences from Lesotho and Trinidad. They used to sell this soup in cartons but I havent seen it for many years and have to make my own at home.
Everybody loves Eggs Benedict, but lets face it making the Hollandaise Sauce can be a bit of a faff especially when you are hungover and hungry. This recipe is a riff on the traditional version from ” Notes from a Small Kitchen Island” by Debora Robertson. This savoury bread and butter pudding is even better if prepared the day before and then cooked the following day. If you like you can add some halved cherry tomatoes to the mixture and/ or serve rashers of crisp bacon and sizzling sausages alongside. And of course Bloody Mary’s to accompany – or Virgin Mary’s if preferred.
A rich and creamy burger from ” The Little Swedish Kitchen” by Rachel Khoo. The burgers can be served in a brioche bun or , more traditionally, served with buttery mash, peas and lingonberry jam.
A popular curry dish from ” Jamie’s Dinners” by Jamie Oliver. If you like, you could use lamb instead of chicken for a change. Serve with some steamed basmati rice and cold beers all round.
