Nigel Slater’s baked blueberry cheesecake and devilled crab recipes

Two cream-based delights for late summer lunches, one savoury, one sweet Take the lid from a pot of cream and it smells of a summer’s day, of cool shade and long grass. Cream, the real thing, is thick, fatty and pale yellow with a faint sharpness to it, and slides lazily from its tub. This long summer has seen cream in my kitchen for a brick-coloured crab soup and a hot shellfish pâté to spoon on to pieces of toast. It has been beaten with mustard and snipped dill for an impromptu sauce for salmon. There has been cream in which we melted thin slices of camembert for a sauce for steamed courgettes. And there has been cream with sautéed cucumber and courgettes, for wild mushrooms, and swirled languidly into a dish of baked Victoria plums warm from the oven. Cream of any hue is not a regular visitor to my kitchen. It is more a rare and gorgeous treat Continue reading... from Recipes | The Guardian https://ift.tt/2zFc8in via IFTTT

Tamal Ray’s recipe for vegan ice-cream with 'honeycomb' and chocolate sauce | The Sweet Spot

This dairy-free ice-cream is topped with crunchy brittle and smothered in chocolate sauce You don’t need cow’s milk to make a great ice-cream, but I did go through a few failed experiments to find an alternative – forays with oat, almond and soy, of which the less is said, the better. I finally settled on coconut milk, which has enough fat to give that creaminess and has a mild enough flavour to pair well with whatever else you choose to throw into the mix.

Meera Sodha’s vegan recipe for mushroom XO sauce with noodles | The New Vegan

Rich shiitake mushrooms and a good slug of cognac add a luxurious note to this take on the traditional Cantonese sauce XO sauce is the Rolls-Royce of Cantonese cooking. Its exact origins are still debated, but the one thing most people agree on is that it came out of the Hong Kong restaurant scene in the 60s, as chefs competed to make the most luxurious sauce possible. The name XO comes from “extra-old”-graded aged cognac, a symbol of status and luxury. My vegan version also goes in pursuit of luxury, using fine, meaty, rich shiitake mushrooms and a good slug of actual cognac as a hat-tip to the name.

Yotam Ottolenghi’s spicy fish recipes

Tomatoes add an earthiness to these recipes for prawns and polenta, rainbow trout in tamarind sauce, and fish meatballs with ancho chilli A piece of freshly cooked fish without a squeeze of lemon is a serious crime against the laws of cooking. Well, at least in my book. The freshness and vibrant acidity simply lift the tender, white flesh into a punchier domain and distil its flavour. Tomatoes, with a sweeter and milder kind of acidity, can do something similar. Yet they also bring an earthiness with them, an echo of the flavour of the soil. This is why tomato sauces – a whole range of them, varying from each other immensely depending on where in the world they are cooked – work so well with fish. They seem to marry the essences of the land and sea into something new and wholly delicious, highlighted by a hit of much-needed acidity.

Don’t throw away old bread and veg – make this ribollita | Waste Not

This traditional, hearty Italian soup is a great way to use up stale bread and leftover or overripe veg Ribollita is a dish that has a special place in my heart. It’s a traditional and robust Italian soup, perfect for using up surplus vegetables and stale bread, and is a superb example of root-to-fruit eating, zero waste and food sustainability. I began my journey into sustainability advocacy because of Tristram Stuart . Stuart is one of the main people responsible for opening the world’s eyes to the global food waste scandal and the fact that around 40% of all food is wasted.

Honey, herbs and chilli is a winning combination with corn, which also pairs deliciously with creamy parmesan rice in risotto Over the past few weeks, my cooking has been sporadic at best. For reasons I will not bore you with, we have been moving from house to house and kitchen to kitchen, so I’ve been without my usual line-up of spices, seasonings and favourite ingredients. Cooking has become simpler, and we have eaten a lot of corn: perfect, self-packaged, hot-weather food. In a fix, it needs nothing more than butter and salt.

Rachel Roddy’s recipe for friggitelli peppers with tomatoes | A Kitchen in Rome

These small, finger-length peppers are sensational fried in olive oil and sprinkled with a little salt, or drowned in a ripe, garlicky tomato sauce Friggitelli are small, elongated and slightly crumpled sweet peppers, and it is their season. While classed as sweet to reassure us that the hot gene is recessed, friggitelli peppers are, in fact, not sweet at all. Rather they are the David Byrne of vegetables: intensely savoury with thin, crisp flesh and, while there is no searing heat or spice, they have something ever-so-slightly piquant about them – the so-called trigeminal effect some ingredients cause, which, in this case, is a cooling in your mouth. Friggitelli also don’t suffer the unripe flavour of many green bell peppers, but have a sure, vegetal tone. Two hours down the coast from Rome in Naples, friggitelli are called friarelli, which is confusing as it is one letter away from friarielli , the local name for cime di rapa , or turnip tops (which, to add another layer of etymol

But it is the tomato that has been at the heart of this week’s cooking.

Smoky barbecue beans full of Tex-Mex spice, with crisp corn fritters and a side of avocado I can’t deny it, I still have an enormous soft spot for the kind of American food that punctuated my 1990s childhood – shoestring fries, crunchy, golden hash browns, coleslaw with cream and milkshakes so thick, you could stand a spoon up in them – I loved them all.

Which Antipodean nation can take credit for it, however, is unclear – though the combination of meringue and cream is far older than Anna herself, both countries claim the pavlova as their own. The safest course to steer seems to be that of Helen M Leach , who, having reviewed the evidence in her book The Pavlova Cake: the Evolution of a National Dish, declares her “preferred, more diplomatic conclusion is that we are dealing with a case of convergent cultural evolution.” Continue reading... from Recipes | The Guardian https://ift.tt/33RurhV via IFTTT

Nigel Slater’s ice-cream recipes

In this heat, it’s ice screamingly obvious what you need to do The summer staggers on. The air is hot and thick as treacle. There is no breeze, not a single leaf moves. For some, the summer of their dreams. For me, the perfect excuse to make ice-cream. To be honest, there has barely been a day when there hasn’t been at least two tubs in the freezer. Homemade vanilla or raspberry ripple, perhaps one made with roast plums, another with basil and lemon. Some have been made here in my kitchen (crème fraîche, lemon, a less than perfect pistachio), others have been rushed home from the shops. There have been wafers and cornets, sundaes and ice-cream sandwiches, and more than I care to admit eaten straight from the tub. A little sugar brings out the sweetness of the apricots, the lemon makes them sing Continue reading... from Recipes | The Guardian https://ift.tt/2YYkyAj via IFTTT

Tamal Ray’s recipe for pistachio biscotti | The Sweet Spot

These pistachio and cherry biscotti are real keepers – they last a couple of months, if you can resist them There are few things more welcoming than walking into a cafe and being greeted by the sight of a shining jar of biscotti. The dough for this recipe, flavoured with honey and orange-blossom water, will be much wetter than you might expect. All will be saved by the second bake, however, with the water being driven out to give the crisp texture and long shelf life for which they are known.

Meera Sodha’s vegan recipe for courgette and chickpea dal | The New Vegan

This spicy dal is a novel and simple way to use up a summer glut of courgettes There is high drama at this time of year, as peak courgette season kicks in and people start firing panicked messages at each other, looking for new ways to dispense with them before they (shock, horror) turn into marrows. I used to make courgette kofta a lot, but for quicker suppers, I either grill them, curry them with corn , or cook them like this, with chickpeas. In its original form, this is the Gujarati dish lauki chana dal, made using bottle gourd and chana dal. Today’s recipe is a fast-and-loose adaptation that may not win an Indian aunty’s approval, but it will show those courgettes, and your dinner table, a good time.

Thrice as nice: rice recipes from around the world | Yotam Ottolenghi

Think you know rice?

But now you’re staring down at a bag of short-grain brown rice, not basmati, and the game has changed: from soaking, to salting, to cooking. Rice is an ingredient with multiple personality types: just when you think you’ve figured it out, you’re met with another variety, another size, shape or colour. Not to mention its purpose: as the main event, a textural addition, a binding agent or to bulk out a meal. Continue reading... from Recipes | The Guardian https://ift.tt/2Pag710 via IFTTT

Four summer jam recipes | Kylee Newton

Store up the sunshine for the leaner months in homemade jams of peach and lemon thyme, gooseberry and camomile, raspberry and cacao, or a strawberry and lemon marmalade Before you start on any of these jams, sterilise jars and lids. Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse well. Drip-dry upside down, then put in an oven heated to 100C (90C fan)/gas ¼ for at least 20 minutes. Meanwhile, put a few small plates in the freezer in preparation for the “wrinkle test.” Sealed, the jam will keep for up to 12 months. Once opened, keep refrigerated and eat within three months.

Surprising uses for radish leaves | Waste Not

There are many tasty uses for these greens - in soups, sauces, dals or instead of spinach in a bake Radish leaves are one of my favourite leafy greens. They have a refreshing, summery flavour that’s perfect for blending into soups or eating raw in salads. The leaves perish very quickly, which is why they are usually removed at the farm. When you buy whole radishes, remove the leaves as soon as you get home and use them within 24 hours. After a good wash, they can be eaten like any leafy green and are quite splendid wilted in a little butter. You can also blend them into green sauce or stir into a rich dal – an Indian classic. In today’s recipe, I’ve used them to replace spinach in a spanakopita -style pie. Continue reading... from Recipes | The Guardian https://ift.tt/2YTzy2p via IFTTT

A hearty Middle Eastern salad of roast aubergines, summer herbs, tomatoes and chickpeas, all smothered in a green tahini sauce I feel a real affinity with tahini that goes beyond my love of Middle-Eastern food. For centuries, Mexicans have cooked sauces enriched with ground nuts (and other ingredients) to add flavour and protein to simple combinations of vegetables, tortillas, beans and chillies.

Roasted stone fruits | Nigel Slater

Under-ripe peaches and nectarines will sweetly yield to heat, then pair perfectly with chicken salad or cheese Even if you can find a ripe peach for sale, it is almost impossible to get it home without a bruise. I tend to buy my stone fruits on the firm side and ripen them in the spot I also use for mangoes and pears, turning them daily, until they are yielding and fragrant. Home-ripening doesn’t always work, with some fruit refusing to respond, spurning your attempts at love and nurture like a sulky teenager. Peaches or nectarines are a rather good addition to a summer chicken salad, especially if you add the juice of a lemon to the dressing and maybe a slice or two of gherkin or green olives. I did just that earlier in the week, using the sticky “toffee” that had gathered under the roasting chicken to form the heart and soul of the dressing, sharpening the caramelised juices with lemon and vinegar, then tossing it with the still-warm chicken and chilled, ripe fruit.

A homemade yoghurt recipe – with one strange ingredient | Waste Not

You can make your own live yoghurt from a pint of milk – and a few chilli stalks, thanks to the friendly bacteria they contain It wasn’t until I started cooking for 2,000 or more people over a weekend at music festivals that I realised how the tops and tails of vegetables we lop off stack up. Often they don’t need to be removed at all, like the tails on carrots, beans and turnips, which look more attractive left on. When the soily tops do need to be removed, a little extra precision can save a lot of food. One of my festival recipes is harissa. We used to cut the top off two kilos of chillies, wasting about 300g, until I realised you can just as swiftly pluck the green stalk off. Although preparing vegetables with care at home will save only a little food each meal, it will amount to a considerable size over a year.

How to make the perfect no-churn ice-cream | Felicity Cloake

No ice-cream maker, no returning to the freezer tub to churn every half hour. You might not get Mr Whippy, but you’ll get all the flavour and none of the hassle I love ice-cream more than almost anything else in the world – but I’ll be honest, I don’t love making it . All that faffing about with egg custards, the swearing and bashed elbows as you dig around for the dusty ice-cream maker at the back of the shed, if you even own such a thing in the first place – all things considered, it’s a lot easier to pop to the shops and shell out for some professional stuff. But, however good the selection in your local supermarket, you’ll be hard pushed to find any flavour more interesting than 25 variations on chocolate, which is where no churn ice-cream comes in. Yes, it’s inevitably a slight compromise, because churning whips air into the mixture, giving the finished product a certain lightness, but do it right, and the results can be surprisingly good, and certainly worth the very minimal e

Thomasina Miers’ nectarine and raspberry sourdough pudding recipe | The Simple Fix

A very British pud of summer fruit and chewy sourdough soaked in custard, with an irresistible crunchy top I love bread pudding, and not only for its taste. I buy relatively expensive bread, usually sourdough, figuring that it is more nutritious, with its slow rise and good ingredients, and that it makes a more filling, satisfying meal. When it starts to harden, and even a splash of water cannot revive it, I love to find other ways to use it up – I hate the thought of binning it . Whether sweet or savoury, there are endless ways to use a slightly stale loaf with excellent results, but this is a good one.

Rachel Roddy’s recipe for cannoli | A Kitchen in Rome

The perennial Sicilian favourite confection, the recipe straight from the kitchen of one of the masters of the art After two disappointments, it was a relief to arrive in Comiso , south-west Sicily, to find that Cantunéra had not closed or been renovated beyond recognition since our last visit two summers ago. Parking has not changed either; it is tricky in the meandering centre. Then, when you do find a spot, it is often so awkward that getting into it is like trying to lever a hot foot into an undersized shoe. Eventually we park by the Aragonese castle and walk back towards the main square of the town before turning right into Via Giuseppe Di Vita and the reason we have come here: dinner. I have written about Sandro Pace before; his progress from 11-year-old bar boy (to keep him out of trouble) to 17-year-old owner of bar Corallo; his training as a pastry chef in Ragusa then return to Comiso to open Cantunéra. I have written about his exceptional arancine, but this time I have co

Nigel Slater’s grilled mackerel and smoked mackerel pâté recipes

Fresh mackerel catches the flavour of the sea in summer The fishmonger is laying out his produce on the ice. The counter is his stage, arranged fresh each morning, just as everyone is going to work in the early light. The catch is his cast, we are his audience, watching the sparkling ice with its ever-changing characters. A blue net of mussels; a tumbling pile of prawns in their shells; a rust-red lobe of smoked cod’s roe, and always a fierce fish head, its razor-sharp teeth barred, there to terrorise the kids. Sometimes there will be whole squid, their tentacles tangled as if to comfort one another, or a cod sliced into soup-friendly pieces. There is often a crate of fat lemons and a box of spiky fingers of samphire. On a good day, there will be mackerel. The most sustainable are those labelled “line-caught”. Set in a soldierly row, each one taut and firm. Fresh mackerel for the grill, smoked for a pâté. The first shimmering silver and blue, the second in shades of gold, black and a

Tamal Ray’s recipe scones with pineapple jam | The Sweet Spot

No need to throw away overripe pineapple when you can magic it into this summery jam – with a side of scones, of course Living in a city flat with a small patio garden, I’m not blessed with the seasonal summer glut that you often associate with a home jam-maker. I do, however, have a tendency to overbuy fruit at the supermarket and then forget about it. To save myself from guiltily having to toss it out, I’ve taken to turning my forgotten fruit into jam; you don’t need mountains of fruit, or time, to do this. Fruit that has gone past its freshest can still be turned into something delicious. Continue reading... from Recipes | The Guardian https://ift.tt/2T7abUD via IFTTT

Meera Sodha’s chipotle tomatoes with butter beans and quinoa | The New Vegan

A satisfying meal of quinoa crowned with glossy chipotle tomatoes and a butter-bean mash In gaming, you can ‘double win’, where you play once, but win twice. A similar sort of thrill can exist in the kitchen (hear me out, please) when you cook one ingredient and it forms two edible delights – such as in today’s recipe. The tomatoes are roasted with chipotle and plenty of oil, and the sweet, concentrated, tomatoey oil goes straight into the butter beans, which are then whizzed up into a silky and flavourful mash.

Yotam Ottolenghi’s summer berry dessert recipes

A yoghurt and berry platter with an orangey finish, a grown-up berry jelly, and lemon and raspberry bars that would be great for lunchboxes – if they last the weekend One of the first desserts I made as a young chef in Britain was summer pudding, and the quantity of berries that went into it shocked me. Before that, I simply hadn’t realised how generous you can be with berries and how much you get in return, both in complexity of colour and intensity of flavour. The recipe I followed also had a bottle of red wine in it, and this taught me that you can magnify the tartness of berries manifold when you match them with other sources of acidity.

Anna Jones’ summer stone fruit recipes | The Modern Cook

Little summer cakes with a nutty crumb, sweet apricots and sharp hits of blackcurrants, and a roast peach compote that will last long enough to remind you of the warmer days When it comes to fruit, these are the best days of the year: peaches, nectarines, cherries, late apricots and raspberries, currants in black, red and white. Picking a favourite is almost impossible, like choosing a favourite child. I’ve been giving it a lot of thought and my top five goes like this; cherries, nectarines, peaches, apricots, strawberries. Controversial I am sure, especially the inclusion of both nectarines and peaches. Fruit is so good at this time of year that it needs nothing more than a napkin to catch the juices, but if you fancy making a little more of your summer stone fruit, try these.

Caramelised artichoke leaves with burrata and pesto recipe | Waste Not with Tom Hunt

The more fibrous artichoke leaves are sensational sauteed and steamed in wine until caramelised – a perfect pairing with soft cheese like mozzarella or burrata Artichokes are wondrous things, full of a phenolic compound called cynarin, which momentarily inhibits our ability to taste sweetness, leaving the tastebuds insensible to it, then acutely aware soon after. Maybe that’s why they make me salivate so uncontrollably: they’re good for the senses, and even digestion, if not for making friends. Many recipes use only the heart, requiring a messy operation that involves removing the stalk, top and leaves, and discarding them. Few recipes give any guidance on how to use these up, which is odd, seeing as they’re so delicious, if a bit fiddly. The toughest outer leaves are inedible, but a few rows in, the cheek of flesh at the base of the leaf is very tender, while the innermost leaves are scoffable in their entirety.
