I’ve been thinking about cooking this dish for ages after having a similar one at the brilliant Bayside Social in Worthing in April. I even bought some chorizo which has been in my freezer. This morning, considering what to eat tonight, I also found some cod. It was a fillet not a nice chunky piece […]

I get a regular delivery from Waitrose every Friday. I only began to get food delivered with the arrival of Covid; before I’d always preferred to do my own food shopping, choosing things myself and buying at a rhythm that fitted my life from week to week. I always did a basic buy once a […]

It was a dish that came together in stages. There was no ‘vision’ of putting all these ingredients into one dish but rather buying them separately and then considering whether they’d go together. I often buy little tubs of chopped pancetta, which usually goes into my Bolognese ragù, but sometimes with mushrooms or just tomatoes […]
Read MoreThis is the second version of a favourite family dish – hence the (2) in the title. The original version was one of my first ever posts on the blog back in 2011. I used to often make the dish, partly because I liked it so much and it’s really simple, especially for a midweek […]
Read MoreInspired by my recent trip to Granada, I decided to make some salmorejo today. Salmorejo is very similar to gazpacho and both are traditional Andalusian dishes, so I saw them on most menus while in Granada.

Read MoreI’ve been enjoying looking through the wonderful The Silver Spoon: Naples and the Amalfi Coast book that my friends Jane and Terry gave me for my birthday just over a week ago. Even if you don’t want to cook anything, it’s the most glorious book to look through and read. However, one of the recipes that […]
Read MoreOne of the reasons I started the My Week in Food series was because I was increasingly finding that I had an idea for something to cook for the blog – only to discover I’d done it a couple of years earlier or even four years ago, as happened last night. In the end my turbot dish […]
Read MoreI’ve called this Italian Fish Stew because it’s totally inspired by the wonderful fish stew I’ve had a couple of times recently at one of my favourite local restaurants, Masaniello. I just couldn’t resist trying to make it myself, so today I went down the road to the excellent Sandys Fishmongers in Twickenham’s high street – […]
Read MoreI try to eat fish a couple of times a week, not just for health benefits but because I love it, and some fish on my supper menu was definitely overdue. I’ve talked before about the wonderful fishmonger, Sandys, in Twickenham high street and I stopped by there this morning and bought a nice fillet […]
Read MoreIt’s been such a lovely, truly summery day that I decided some fish for supper would be perfect. I eat fish all year round but there’s something wonderful about lightly cooked fish served simply that is reminiscent of summer holidays on the Mediterranean, fish caught from the sea and almost straight into a pan or […]
