A jazzed up version of cheese on toast from ” Caravan : Dining All Day” by Miles Kirby, Laura Harper-Hinton and Chris Ammermann. The jam can be made up to three weeks in advance and stored in the fridge, making this easy to make on the day. Use a good sourdough bread and flavourful cheddar.
An easy gently spiced curry, fragrant with coconut milk and spice, from ” The Art of the Larder” by Claire Thompson. Serve with brown or white rice and a jarred Indian pickle or chutney. Cook as many eggs as you would like to serve.
This is from ” Madhur Jaffreys Indian Cookery” which was published in 1982 to accompany her series on BBC 2. This was the first recipe book I bought and i still have my now very stained and dog eared copy. This is an everyday vegetable dish from the state of Gujerat which goes with any Indian meal but is also a good accompaniment to pork chops. The ingredients are readily available in supermarkets now but back then many could only be sourced in specialist Indian groceries.
A great way with white cabbage from one of my favourite cookbooks , ” Mowgli Street Food” by NIsha Katoona. She finally opened the Bristoil branch of this restaurant chain about 6 months ago, but I have yet to eat there.
A spicy chicken and lemongrass stir fry from Cambodia. The recipe is from Y Sok, a Cambodian refugee who came to the UK aged 37 after first migrating to the USA with her family. She runs Kambuja restaurant in the Marple area of Greater Manchester.
