Notes about Recipes in this book

• Baby artichokes with an anchovy dip and herb crumb

  • Hansyhobs on May 06, 2023

    Cooked this on the hobs with a griddle. Fine, I am not a huge artichoke fan but I wanted to try baby artichokes so this was an easy recipe to give ago

• New potato salad with onion and herbs

  • ollie_bn8sm2 on May 16, 2026

    Made with chives and basil and used kefir yog instead of crème fraiche

• Halloumi with nectarines, tarragon and basil

  • pinkpaisleyxx on September 04, 2024

    Used peaches instead & a pinch of dried tarragon instead of fresh, but this is absolutely yum. I was tempted to just cook on the stovetop but the extra smoky slightly charred flavour was well worth getting the BBQ fired up for! I've made this a few times now & it never disappoints.

• 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.
