Super-eggy Scrambled Eggs / Banana Bread / Christmas Dinner with Roast Goose



Blog Post & Recipe: Super-eggy Scrambled Eggs


I came across it while paging through the new Serious Eats book - the idea is to use whole eggs plus egg yolks to make your eggs extra rich, creamy, and flavorful.


Blog Post & Recipe: Sunday Brunch: Banana Bread


This recipe for banana bread is about as simple as it gets, but one of the beauties of banana bread is how well it incorporates odds and ends from the cupboard and fridge. A handful of chocolate chips, some dried cranberries, or even a grated apple can happily be folded into this batter


Article & Recipes: Give goose a gander


Turkey is traditional, but goose makes a fine centrepiece for a Christmas feast [...] If in doubt, buy a meat thermometer, and in general, don’t stuff birds – cook stuffing separately as it can really slow down the whole cooking process.

Caribbean Bean Puree / Chicken in Beer / Smoky Eggplant & Lamb Pide



Blog Post & Recipe: Caribbean Bean Puree


The ingredient list for this recipe may seem a little strange. Black beans and bananas? You are just going to have to trust me on this one.


Recipe: Chicken in beer


Takes about 2 hours to prepare, but well worth it. The flavors are deep and substantial. I added more carrots than the original recipe called for, but I like eating them – they were saturated and drenched in the cooking juices.


Blog Post & Recipe: Smoky Aubergine and Lamb Pide


Pide are rather similar to lamacun* and are apparently sold on every street corner in their homeland. I topped mine with aubergine (which I blackened on the gas hob before scooping out the smoky flesh); lamb, minced; spices like coriander, cumin and cinnamon; onion, garlic and a little tomato.

Place several spinach leaves down as the base, then place a large fingerful amount of vegetable salad on top. Fold the top and bottom edges over the salad, then pull one of the remaining sides over the filling, then roll into a cigar shaped log.

Blog Post & Recipe: The perfect roast chicken


Roast chicken might sound like an easy option, but actually it's a surprisingly difficult thing to get right, which is why it's often used by chefs as a test for potential new recruits. The issue is not so much one of flavour – you get what you pay for in that department – but texture.
