Foodycat: March 2015
http://foodycat.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Recipes, trying new local ingredients, occasional reviews and always enjoying my food. Tuesday, 31 March 2015. Diana Henry's chicken with leeks, apples and cider. This recipe, for chicken with leeks, apples and cider. Enriched with a little cream, is the first dish Diana Henry ever cooked for her partner. It's also the first recipe I have made from her new book, A Bird in the Hand. Which I thought made it a fitting dish to make for the last Diana Henry week at I Heart Cooking Clubs. But since we've been ...

Foodycat: April 2015
http://foodycat.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Recipes, trying new local ingredients, occasional reviews and always enjoying my food. Wednesday, 15 April 2015. Gaylord Restaurant Mortimer Street. I've been watching a bit of the BBC series Back in time for dinner. With that sort of post-war culinary history, I think Gaylord's Restaurant. Much more to my taste was the second drink, a virgin paan mojito. The rose, mint and lime was very refreshing. We had a series of canapés, which General Manager Sameer Berry explained were examples of the sorts of foo...

Archive for the ‘recipes’ Category. Stilton tart in walnut pastry. On May 4, 2011 2 Comments.

If it doesn’t, add a tablespoon of cold water, then check again: it will. Stilton and celery filling. 25 g butter, unsalted as ever. 1 leek, shredded. 4 eggs, beaten.

Foodycat: Pulled Pork Nachos
http://foodycat.blogspot.com/2015/05/pulled-pork-nachos.html
Recipes, trying new local ingredients, occasional reviews and always enjoying my food. Friday, 15 May 2015. Just after Easter we went to a Jim Butcher. Q&A at Waterstones Piccadilly. It was a Friday so Paul didn't want to hang around at work; we met up early to have a drink and a snack in the bar on the fifth floor. After that disappointment, I had to have another go. This version is much better. Pulled pork is ubiquitous at the moment (you can get pulled pork products at EAT. 1 garlic clove, minced or c...

Foodycat: May 2015
http://foodycat.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Recipes, trying new local ingredients, occasional reviews and always enjoying my food. Friday, 29 May 2015. Bulgur and Spinach Pilaf. It's Potluck week again at I Heart Cooking Clubs. And it just so happens that last night I cooked a Diana Henry recipe, so I can join in. It's a bulgur and spinach pilaf. From her first book, Crazy Water Pickled Lemons. I confess, I took a few liberties. For one thing, I told Paul I was doing an Ottolenghi. Using Tim Hayward's phrase. Tuesday, 26 May 2015. Videos, but I th...

Foodycat: Garlic
http://foodycat.blogspot.com/2015/07/garlic.html
Recipes, trying new local ingredients, occasional reviews and always enjoying my food. Friday, 24 July 2015. Growing root vegetables is more exciting than you'd think. Really, it is. All that effort, with the frisson that you have no idea what is going on beneath the surface. Is there bounty or have critters destroyed everything? Cloves in spring and several plants duly popped up. Gosh - I wouldnt claim garlic growing expertise myself but thank you. 26 July 2015 at 07:39. 26 July 2015 at 16:42. All the p...

Foodycat: Lamb chops
http://foodycat.blogspot.com/2015/08/lamb-chops.html
Recipes, trying new local ingredients, occasional reviews and always enjoying my food. Saturday, 1 August 2015. A few days ago, I asked Paul a serious question. He was shocked. He couldn't believe I would spring something so momentous on him without prior warning. I asked whether he preferred lamb cutlets or lamb loin chops. As he absolutely refused to answer, I decided - for science! Leaf (the indolent cook). I love that you did such an experiment! Its always interesting to do a proper comparison. Thank...

Foodycat: February 2015
http://foodycat.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Recipes, trying new local ingredients, occasional reviews and always enjoying my food. Friday, 27 February 2015. Caramel blood oranges with sour cream rice pudding. The blood orange season is quite brief, so I pounced on them as soon as I saw them. Then had the pleasurable dilemma of what to make with them: blood orange curd? But I'd also been craving rice pudding, so when I saw Diana Henry's recipe for caramel blood oranges with sour cream rice pudding. My path was clear. For their February potluck.

Foodycat: No-churn peanut caramel cheesecake ice cream
http://foodycat.blogspot.com/2015/07/no-churn-peanut-caramel-cheesecake-ice.html
Recipes, trying new local ingredients, occasional reviews and always enjoying my food. Friday, 17 July 2015. No-churn peanut caramel cheesecake ice cream. So, this is what I did with the leftover unsatisfactory honey peanut brittle. No-churn peanut caramel cheesecake ice cream. 280g soft cream cheese (or 300g or 250g - the standard tub in your neck of the woods). 400g milk caramel (the type you make by boiling a can of condensed milk, but I used a ready made one). 3tbs dark rum (or brandy/whisky/bourbon).
