Best ever seville orange marmalade

Best ever seville orange marmalade

Posted on January 3 2021 at 07:17

I’m not a great one for ‘the perfect this’ or ‘the perfect that’ in recipes but if you’re a marmalade aficionado I promise you this is as good as it gets. Intensely fruity, thick and sharply flavoured.

Celebrate the Chinese New Year with this delicious seafood supper

Celebrate the Chinese New Year with this delicious seafood supper

Posted on February 12 2021 at 06:43

The Chinese New Year, which starts today, is one of those annual events that really captures the imagination. It is celebrated in such a colourful and joyous way and Chinese food is so delicious, quick and simple to make that I hope you won't be able to resist having a go at it.

Orange and Cointreau syllabub

Orange and Cointreau syllabub

Posted on December 26 2015 at 09:22

Syllabub - a velvety-smooth concoction of sweet wine and cream - is one of the great English desserts, dating from the 16th century. At this time of year I like to make it with orange rather than lemon, topped with an irresistibly crunchy mixture of orange zest and sugar.

Nothing makes me happier than the new season’s spring produce but if you feel it’s a bit early for it weather-wise try this clever recipe from @robjhowell’s gorgeous new book Root. It’s a warm dish of Jersey potatoes with peas, wild garlic and crème fraîche and I can’t think of anything I’d rather eat at the moment. Happily for us Bristolians Rob’s fabulous restaurant @rootbristol reopens for outside dining next week - Simply can’t WAIT! You can get the recipe if you click the link in my biog. I was sent the book as a review copy. Photograph by @alexanderjcollins whose very beautiful account is worth a follow. . . . #root #potatoes #jerseyroyals #peas #wildgarlic #springveggies #bristol #cookbook #robhowellThis is the loveliest book in so many ways. The writing, the recipes, but above all the look and feel of it (swipe to see the gorgeous embossed cover in detail) which explains why ebooks have never really taken off. It comes out next week so order it now so it’s on hand to inspire you during peak herb season. (I’ve already littered it with post-it notes.) That @mark_diacono is a very clever man (besides being a #lfc supporter which makes him a thoroughly good bloke all-round. But buy it even if you’re a Man U fan.) . . . #herb #cookbook #bookstagram #bookcover #booklover #markdiacono #reviewcopySitting in the sun chatting canned wine with MW @liamsteevenson. My selection of 25 is in today’s @guardiang2 with top marks to South African winemaker @aabadenhorst for his ‘Curator’ range which I’d happily take on a picnic. Some of the others not so much though it has to be said I’m not the target audience for wines labelled Babe, Hun and Kiss. A tip: even the dullest cans are improved by drinking them really cold and straight from the tin. There’s also a selection of cocktails from @richardjgodwin, spirits and mixers (from @felicitycloake) and hard seltzers from @whatsamadder.

SO light and such incredible flavour. #easter #cake #familytime Follow on Instagram
