BOLOGNA CUPS WITH PEAS

Blog Post & Recipe: Green Curry Fried Rice | ข้าวผัดแกงเขียวหวานไก่

It's made in a very similar manner to green curry, starting with a good quality curry paste and coconut milk and then letting the other ingredients simmer in this fragrant sauce. The wonderful thing about green curry fried rice, though, is that the rice actually soaks up all of this sauce so that every bite you take is infused with rich, spicy green curry.

Store Certain Herbs / Braised Radishes / Homemade Ginger Beer & Dark 'n' Stormy Cocktail

Blog Post & Tip: How to Store Cilantro (and Other Herbs)

Some herbs take to freezing well (such as basil, mint, chives, and obviously cilantro), and then they are quite easy to use later (or much later!) in soups, stews, and other cooked dishes.

Blog Post & Recipe: Braised Radishes {recipe} – When a Side Dish Not a Side Dish

Then we realized that we could braise them in the same way that we’ve braised their much larger Asian cousins, the daikon radish, but with different seasonings and flavors. Lemon. Thyme. Butter.

Blog Post & Recipe: Homemade Ginger Beer and the Dark 'n' Stormy

Besides all the cool ideas and wavelengths that must bounce around in that shop, they apparently have delicious ginger beer. And they offer an informal recipe in the spread: take ginger, cut it up, add some lemon juice and sugar, toss in hot water and yeast, and give it 24 hours.

Concept: braise radishes (remember, we were wondering about this last night?)

Moroccan Style Ossobuco / Tomato Soup with Tripe and Sausage / Freezing Food

Blog Post & Recipe: Ossobuco Tagine (Moroccan Style Ossobuco)

For the recipe, I started out with my ossobuco recipe and then I added some dried apricots and prunes along with a blend of warm spices.

Blog Post & Recipe: Tomato soup with tripe and sausage (a.k.a. leftover soup: recycled)

You can do this trick with any leftover meat and vegetable soup with a clear broth. The tripe can be substituted with just about any kind of meat. The only thing to remember is not to add any raw ingredient to the leftover soup then simmer until the raw ingredient is done because that would turn everything in the leftover soup into an indiscernible goo.

Blog Post: Freezers give waste the cold shoulder

Taste-wise, you have to choose and use frozen veg carefully. Frozen peas are the most popular frozen vegetable in the UK as they taste good and hold their shape and texture. Other frozen veg which (in my opinion) pass the taste test are broad beans, sweetcorn and leaf spinach (reheat it very gently) ... The big no-nos for freezing are salad, egg-based dished, such as mayonnaise (tends to separate on thawing) and whole eggs (they will burst as the liquid content expands).

Storing Lettuce / Roasted Cauliflower with Anchovy Mayonnaise / Seasoning

Blog Post: How to Store Lettuce in the Fridge

I love the concept: washing and drying all the lettuce at once, then putting it nicely in the bottom fridge drawer lined with towels.

Blog Post & Recipe: Roasted Cauliflower with Anchovy Mayonnaise

It just doesn't stand up on it's own. However, roasting the florets intensifies the flavour, making them nutty, crispy and especially delicious when given a good dunking.

Blog Post: the absolute beginners guide to the art of seasoning

There are two main times to think about seasoning – the beginning and the end. For slow cooked dishes it’s a good idea to get some salt in early so it can spread through the whole dish over time. For most other things seasoning at the end is the best way to go.
