A luxurious way to serve eggs and bacon from Melbourbe based chef Blayne Bertoncello.

Green Beans on Toast (4)

Green beans are cooked in olive oil like this in Turkey , where they are usually served warm, or at room temperature, rather than hot. This recipe is from ” Comfort” by Yotam Ottolengji, and the beans will keep in the fridge for up to three days.

Smoked Mackerel Caesar Salad (4)

A riff on Caesar Salad from Thomasina Miers

Cheesy Curried Beans on Toast (2)

These Cheesy Curried Beans from Yotam Ottolenghi make a quick and easy brunch, lunch or supper . They are best made with jarred beans but you can also use a tin. A 400g tin gives about 300g beans, so I increase the cream and cheese to take this into account. You could add extra spicing if you like.

Black Pudding, Bacon and Potato Hash (4)

This restorative recipe is from The Bicycle Shop in Norwich and I found it in ” The Norfolk Cook Book”. They serve it with Spinach and Poached Eggs, and recommend a Bloody or Virgin Mary on the side. In September 2023 I will be staying in Norfolk for a couple of weeks and I am really looking forward to trying some of the local produce, especially the seafood.

Green Eggs and Ham (6)

A delicious bake for brunch, lunch or supper from Diana Henry. You can add torn mozzarella too if you like, or make it more spicy.

Croutes au Reblochon (6)

A luxurious supper of cheese and ham on toast from Diana Henry. A new bakery called Guild of Dough has opened near me recently and I am rapidly becoming addicted to their Kimchi Sourdough which i think would work well in this too.

Celeriac, Cavolo Nero and Chestnut Bread Pudding (4)

A comforting dish from Chantelle Nicholson that uses up old bread.

Smoked Mackerel Toasties (4)

This recipe is from Chantelle Nicholson, chef/owner of zero waste restaurant All’s Well in Hackney, London.

Eggs Bhurji (4)

An Indian breakfast dish to serve with roti or naan, or on toast. This version is from “Towpath:Recipes and Stories” by Lori de Mori and Laura Jackson. Towpath is an outdoor cafe on the Regents Canal in London which opened in 2016 and which i am very much looking forward to visiting on my next visit to London.
