Notes about Recipes in this book

• Whole barbecued pumpkin stuffed with beer and sage fondue

  • Foodycat on November 08, 2022

    My pumpkin was the wrong one for the job - while the right weight, it was quite flat and had a really tiny cavity after the seeds were scooped out, so I sliced it and layered the slices with the bread, cheese and beer and baked it in the oven. Really delicious! I used Hoegaarden for the beer, which was nicely subtle, and added a grating of nutmeg because I can't help myself with cheese and pumpkin dishes. The pickled onion serving suggestion was just perfect.

• Smoked and braised ox cheek tacos

  • Foodycat on October 17, 2022

    A fiddle, but well worth the effort. I smoked the cheeks on Sunday, when I had the smoker going anyway, and braised them the next day. I used bought tortillas, but made the salsa and the pickled kohlrabi. Wonderful flavours! With the leftovers I am going to add some sliced spring onions for a bit of extra brightness - the kohlrabi is quite mellow and everything else is very rich.
