Another favourite recipe for baked potatoes from Nigel Slater’s ” Real Food”. You can use fresh shop brought pesto as an alternative. SErve with a green salad.
A delicious and very moreish vegetable dish from ” Tender: Volume 1″ by Nigel Slater. If I ever have to choose an overall favourite cookery writer I have no doubt it would be him!
When my better half and I were in Italy recently he ate a dish called Pizzoccheri on a number of occasions. That dish originates from Valtellina in Lombary and includes buckwheat tagliatelle, potatoes, savoy cabbage and Taleggio or Fontina Cheese. I have not yet managed to find a local source of the pasta and though it can be ordered online I am sure the dried version is not the same. This is Nigella Lawson’s Anglo version from her book ” Nigellissima”.
This is the first recipe i cooked from Claire Thomson’s eagerly awaited ” Home Cookery Year” which came out earlier this month. The book is divided into seasons so i am busy working my way through autumn recipes . Watch this space for a few more….
A recipe from Nigel Slater. He suggests as a variation tearing and folding in some mozzarella or burrata at the very last minute. And you could always use ready made fresh pesto to speed things up.
