Blog Post & Recipe: Chorizo & White Bean Soup with Queso Fresco

The chorizo flavored the broth with its spicy smoky flavor and made me really happy. I made a big pot and froze it in serving-size containers, so each time I made it I experimented with toppings. I tried grated mozzarella with a sprinkle of minced Italian parsley, which was good. But the dollops of salty, crumbly Queso Fresco cheese with minced cilantro and basil sprinkled over the top was the best.

Roasted Garlic & Broad Bean Soup / An Interview with Nigel Slater + Summer Squash With Lemon & Mint / Stir-fried Starch Jelly Noodles

Blog Post & Recipe: Roasted Garlic & Broad Bean Soup & a Facelift

This is a simple soup made of broad beans, stock, milk, lemon zest and roasted garlic, nothing more apart from the garnish of paprika and olive oil. If you don’t have broad beans you can also use haricot beans.

Blog Post & Recipe: How to Grill Your Vegetables

Just don't think you can throw those mushrooms on the grill as is. They need to be spruced up. Oil, and vinegar, and spices, oh my. The rest of the vegetables are really not hard. Brush them with a little olive oil, and add salt and pepper. You're basically going for a nice char-grilled exterior.

Grilled Fava Beans. Anchovies. Mushroom, Sausage, Goat Cheese, and Chive Grilled Pizzas.

Blog Post & Recipe: Grilled Fava Beans

The key is getting the grill (or pan) the right temperature - too hot and the pods char before the beans have time to steam in their pods.

Blog Post & Recipe: Mushroom, Sausage, Goat Cheese, and Chive Grilled Pizzas

This is a cross between crispy flatbread and chewy pizza with extra flavor from the char of the grill. If you don’t have access to a grill, bake the dough in the oven as you would any other pizza ... The mushrooms and sausage can be roasted up to three days ahead and warmed through before adding to the grilled dough.

Article & Recipe: And don't hold the anchovies

Look to the left for a link to "Roast leg of lamb with anchovies."

If one needs proof that anchovies are not natively malodorous, it's best to try Spanish or Italian brands in a jar (everyone agrees on the superior quality of the Spanish brand Ortiz). Anchovies also come salt-packed, requiring a brief soak in water. Even more impressive are the fresh fish ...
