Pickled Prawns / Pesto Frittata Bites / Freeze Chicken Stock in Ice Cube Trays



Blog Post & Recipe: Pickled Shrimp


Essentially, then, this recipe boils down to one simple step: "Throw all the ingredients in a jar and chill overnight." Easy, peasy!


Blog Post & Recipe: Pesto Frittata Bites


I was asked to bring an egg dish, which usually means a frittata. But when you go to brunch at the home of the hostess with the mostess plus, you best bring something real nice. So I went all fancy on you: I tucked my frittata recipe into mini-muffin cups.


Blog Post & Recipe: Weekend Project: Freeze Chicken Stock in Ice Cube Trays


When ready, crack the ice cubes into a large bowl, and then transfer to a zip-lock bags. Each ice cube equals about one ounce of liquid. If they seem to stick together, carefully toss the bags on the counter — they should easily break back into individual cubes.

Toad-in-the-Hole / Korean Kimchi Stew / Mushroom & Beetroot Frittata



Blog Post & Recipe: Classic English Toad-in-the-Hole


I first posted a recipe for Toad in the Hole back in 2003. I wasn't quite satisfied with that recipe, and based on feedback from readers and a bit more experimentation, recently updated the recipe.


Blog Post & Recipe: Korean Kimchi Stew


I first came across Soondoobu Jiggae (or, soft tofu stew to me and you) at Koba, on Charlotte Place. A bubbling stew in a hot stone pot, it as packed with little clams, silky soft tofu and the punchy heat of kimchi. Further exploration with my chopsticks revealed a perfectly poached egg in the broth.


Blog Post & Recipe: Mushroom and beetroot frittata


Frittatas are easy-peasy, weeknight food. Something you can make in one pan, cram full of vegetables and top with whatever is in the fridge. Nutritionally this particular frittata combines antioxidant rich beetroot, with B vitamin and antioxidant containing mushrooms, plus protein packed eggs. I topped the frittata with a dairy free kind of pesto, made from coriander, miso, garlic and walnuts.

Cantaloupe & Beetroot Juice / Summer Squash & Basil Frittata / Eggplant with Buttermilk Sauce



Blog Post & Recipe: Fresh Cantaloupe & Beet Juice


If you think you hate beets, I would definitely encourage you to try this because the sweetness of the melon complements the beet perfectly and gets rid of that "earthy" taste that tends to go along with beets.


Blog Post & Recipe: Summer squash & basil frittata


Grating summer squash renders it simple to incorporate into a variety of recipes, and I often stir sautéed squash into risottos and pasta sauces. The yellow squash in this frittata lends some nutty heft to one of my favorite easy meals, and goat cheese and basil dress it up for brunch or dinner.


Blog Post & Recipe: Aubergines with Buttermilk Sauce


The recipe is rather easy and straightforward, essentially requiring you to roast the aubergines for about 40 minutes until they are soft and bronzed in colour. The aubergines are then left to cool, during which time you can make the buttermilk sauce and extract the seeds from the pomegranate.

Blog Post & Recipe: The Nasty Bits: Fried Fish Bones


Fried fish bones taste like what you imagine of thin and delicate bones: crunchy at the thick parts and crispy at the thin parts, with a slightly fishy flavor. The trick is to leave some of the fish flesh on when you fillet the whole fish, so that the meat clinging to the bone becomes crispy and brown

4 Asparagus Recipes / Potato & Bacon Frittata / Cooking White Fish



Article & Recipes: Top tips: Mark Hix cooks with asparagus

Article & Recipe: The eggs have it


Frittatas are easy to make, delicious and nutritious, so they tick all the boxes for the beginner cook ... Once you know how to make them you can vary the fillings to suit your budget and tastebuds; they are a great way to use up leftovers and make a not-so-cheap ingredient go further.

Potato and Bacon Frittata


Article & recipes: Broiled, Sautéed, Roasted, Poached


The chart on the following page provides ideas for cooking 1½ pounds of white fillet, whether whole or cut into individual portions. None of these recipes take more than half an hour from start to finish; thicker pieces of fish will cook in 15 minutes or less, thinner pieces in under 10. You can tell that any fillet is done when it’s opaque and a thin-bladed knife meets little resistance when you use it to poke the thickest part of the fish.

Pin Bones. Near-Eggless Frittata. White Bean Cream of Asparagus Soup.



Blog Post & Recipe: White Bean Cream of Asparagus Soup


Puréed white beans lend a little more boldness and depth of flavour than one would ordinarily find in a cream of asparagus soup


Article & Video: A Frittata Where Eggs Play the Minor Role


... the proportions of eggs and vegetables are reversed, and the veggies take center stage. Instead of six eggs and a cup or two of vegetables, I use two or three eggs with three or four cups of vegetables. Think of it as a big vegetable pancake bound with just enough creamy-cooked eggs to hold the thing together.


Article: Removing Pin Bones


Filleting a fish removes the flesh from the main skeleton (backbone and ribs), but the pin bones are “floating” bones, not attached to the main skeleton. [...] Pin bones are relatively soft and harmless, but it’s definitely not classy to serve them. So what to do?

Curry Leaves. Green Tomatoes.



Article & Recipes: Curry leaves lend powerful aroma to Indian cooking

An article about curry leaves.


To preserve the fresh leaves, if you must, Bladholm recommends grinding them in a food processor while they still have their volatile oils. She adds a little garlic and some olive oil and freezes the paste in 1- to 2-tablespoon amounts.

We have stolen Tasmania's summer.


I don't know about [your homegrown tomatoes], but if I picked mine tomorrow they'd be little rock-solid balls of tart green acid without a single blush to their cheeks.

And with our summer seemingly gone walkabout to the mainland, I doubt they'll ever come good.

Cooking Fish. Side Dishes. Corn Fritters. Frittata.



Blog Post/Recipe: Spicy Corn Fritters.

Blog Post/Recipe: Zucchini ricotta frittata.

Article/Recipe: A bit on the side.
Includes recipes for classic potato gratin, roasted cauliflower with persillade, old-fashioned spinach with nutmeg and cream, and caramelised witlof.

Article/Recipe: Fish with Jeremy Lee.

Recipes include: sea trout, parsley and sorrel sauce; hake, clams, peas and samphire; and "The Lee Way to Cook Fish."

Testing that fish is done: This is easy provided the fish is cooked while the skin is on. Push the skin gently with your fingertips: if the flakes can be felt just beginning to slip apart under the skin, the fish is done. For skinless fillets, look for opaque on the outside, but still slightly translucent in the centre.
