Parmesan Custards with Anchovy Toasts

July 28th, 2008 · No Comments

Blogger-D was lucky enough to have a free work jolly to Le Café Anglais last Christmas and said the food was some of the best she’d ever tasted. Blogger-R unfortunately has yet to be offered such a generous perk and so has had to content himself with making this - Rowley Leigh’s ’signature’ dish of […]

Seared Squid with Roasted Pepper Sauce

May 17th, 2008 · 2 Comments

There were scenes of mild peril when I got my squid tubes home and discovered they were not, as I had assumed, empty, but in fact contained tentacles and all sorts of other body parts. Blogger-D had to step in and perform some deft and discrete fishmongery to remove the offending bits of cephalopod. Pathetic […]

Pan Fried Salmon with Avocado Remoulade

May 6th, 2008 · No Comments

I got this recipe from Simply Recipes - an excellent foodblog by Elise Bauer. Other essential reading on the web this week was this article on Guardian Unlimited, which in turn leads to the very informative and equally disturbing ‘Wolf at the Door‘ website by Paul Thompson. Enjoy avocados while you can and don’t say […]

Fish Tacos

March 23rd, 2008 · No Comments

So after all the parsimoniousness of Lent we bought some Greek yoghurt and went crazy. The first part of that sentence is based on fiction alone. Indeed a fiction built on a fiction, but hey that’s a whole ‘nother thing. Having on previous Saturdays spent rather long periods of time at Borough Market and its […]

Coconut Fish Curry (Meen Molee)

March 4th, 2008 · No Comments

This recipe (as well as the three side dishes posted below) were in the current issue of the Observer Food Monthly. Looks good in the photograph doesn’t it? A succulent pan-fried fillet of bass sitting on a vibrant dish of coconut curry and scattered with various decorative bits of shrubbery not mentioned in the list […]

Pesto Calamari with Steamed Vegetables

February 29th, 2008 · 2 Comments

I’ve made two exciting discoveries recently. One is the existance of a Waitrose only ten minutes walk from where I work, and the other is the cheapness of calamari. The two are connected as the former sells the latter. In fact this Waitrose is off Whitecross Street which has an excellent food market … a […]

Plaice wrapped vegetables with Salsa Verde

February 25th, 2008 · No Comments

I intended to use sole for this recipe but when I saw the £26 a kilo price tag I nearly bolted in panic. Fortunately my fellow blogger calmed me down, took control of the situation and purchased two splendid (and considerably cheaper) fillets of plaice instead.

Teriyaki Salmon

February 14th, 2008 · 3 Comments

For this recipe you’ll have to invest in a bottle of Mirin which after extensive research, I discover to be a sweet alcoholic seasoning made from rice and yeast. You’ll also be needing some salmon - a member of the Salmonidae family of fishes, distinguished by its pale pink flesh and popular among humans. Salmon […]

Calamari with Baked Beans

February 3rd, 2008 · No Comments

This is a Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall recipe with a few minor tweaks. Out with the smoked paprika because we don’t have any, and in with a little honey for sweetness. Half a glass of Sherry is required so we had to go out and buy some specially. We opted for Tudor Rose ‘We can’t legally call […]

Tuna & Tomato Empanadillas

January 27th, 2008 · 1 Comment

I had the yen to make some Cornish pasties, but not having all the necessary ingredients and not wanting to brave the ugly madness that is Bethnal Green on a Saturday afternoon to get them, I made these instead.

Carp

January 7th, 2008 · 4 Comments

If like me two weeks ago, you have never tasted carp and you think it would be interesting to give it a go, my advice to you is please don’t bother. Along with voting Tory, ‘The Vicar of Dibley’ and felching, it is an experience best avoided.

There is a reason why carp is an anagram […]

Smoked Haddock Chowder

October 24th, 2007 · No Comments

Flippin’ eck Tucker, one of the shops on the High Street is selling seven corn-on-the -cob for a pound and that is a bloomin’ bargain. Of course, sweetcorn is delicious eaten just as it comes, boiled or barbecued and simply accompanied with a knob of slowly melting butter, however tonight we decided upon this […]

Fish @ Whitstable

September 3rd, 2007 · No Comments

Giddy with excitement from rumours that there might be a glimpse of sunshine in the east, we drove down to the North Kent coast for a spot of camping. Cursory research led us to ‘Seaview Holiday Park’ in a small town called Swalecliffe – midway between Whitstable and Herne Bay.
