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.
A Bengali dish from Asma Khan’s ” Ammu” whicj is served with rice and dal. You need to use standard white potatoes, not new potatoes or floury ones. If you cant find small prawns use larger ones and cut them into 1 cm pieces.
A warming, hearty and seasonal gratin from Yotam Ottolenghi. You can vary the vegetables using the same total weight, but these work very well together. Cut the vegetables into 2mm thick slices, using a mandolin if you need to.
A lovely thick bowl of chowder for the winter months. Its from ” Roast Figs Sugar Snow” by Diana Henry. I have had this book for many years but it has recently been reissued.
A luxurious version of Macaroni cheese from ” The Seafood Shack ” by Kirstie Scobie and Fenella Renwick. I visited Ullapool in the 1980s but this makes me want to return to try out the original version and other good things this restaurant serves.
