Chicken Kabab (6-8)

These Kababs can be cooked on a barbecue or grilled indoors. The chicken could also be cooked without skewers spread out on a foil covered baking tin under a preheated medium grill. The recipe is from ” Ammu” by Asma Khan and she recommends serving them with her Spinach with Spiced Yoghurt and her Special Potatoes.

Prawn Croquettes (8)

Another favourite from Bengal which I found in Asma Khan’s ” Ammu”. With British and Portuguese influences recipes like this would have originated as railway meals for the colonial elite, but later spread to the general public.

Prawns in Tomato Sauce (4)

A recipe from my local Vietnamese chef Trung. During Lockdown he started doing the most yummy Vietnamese food for collection from his home once a week . It was up there with the very best Vietnamese food I have eaten here or there , and the portions were so generous they lasted us two days. In a few days time he will be opening his own restaurant in Bristol- The Saigon Kitchen- and I cant wait to try even more of his cooking.

Bacon and Egg Pie (6)

This is from ” Cook at Home” by Peter Gordon. Its his stepmothers recipe and he thinks it is the best in the universe, and almost better cold the next day. And very easy if you use ready made pastry. In summer, slices of fresh tomatoes on top work well too.
