This mash is full of flavour and can be served alongside some grilled tofu, halloumi, fish or chicken or as part of a selection of vegetable dishes. The recipe is from ” Ottolenghi Flavour” by Yotam Ottolenghi and Ixta Belfrage.
A favourite pasta recipe from the excellent “Dinner” by Meera Sodha. Its based on Joshua McFadden’s kale sauce and is very easy to make. Eat your greens- you wont be disappointed with this one !
A favourite side dish which I found in ” From the Oven to the Table” by Diana Henry. It goes well with roast lamb, chicken or fish. It can also be served as a main with burrata, extra virgin olive oil and warm focaccia.
Between 1979 and 1981 between university and travelling I spent a few months on and off waitressing in the newly opened Woods Restaurant in Bath . It quickly became one of Bath’s go to restaurants and local celebrities like Peter Gabriel were regular visitors. Its still going today and still fun by the lovely David and Claude. I must pop in and say hello one day!. While I was working there the chef was a woman called Sharon and this is one of her dishes that always impressed.
A classic South African recipe which is good served with a Tomato and Onion Salad. Any leftover filling will be even more delicious the next day served with rice or salad. It’s from Nokx Majozi and I found it in ” Chefs at Home” . The book was written to support Hospitality Action during Lockdowns in 2020 and 2021, and contains recipes from UK based chefs.
Its coming on Christmas They’re cutting down trees and Tis the season of Brussels Sprouts. I have to admit that they are one of my favourite vegetables and i always look forward to their appearance at my local Greengrocers. This is the first dish I cooked with them this year- a one pan recipe for brunch or supper from Gill Meller. But I will be posting a few more recipes to encourage you all to eat more of these delicious vegetables.
