Tiramisù (which literally translates from the Italian as ‘pick-me-up’) must be one of the best-loved desserts in the world. It has all the essential elements of a perfect pudding—alcohol, creamy custard and cocoa.
Many exotic mushroom varieties are available year-round. This recipe use a mixture, giving the dishes a roundness of flavour.
This may seem like a lot of garlic, but trust me, it slowly melts away and just becomes another thread woven into the tapestry of flavours in the dish. The taste of it evokes warm memories of evening suppers I’ve enjoyed in many Greek kitchens, nothing fancy, just good, honest ingredients playing nicely together. This is a great recipe for feeding a hungry family.
Cooking en papillote is a great way to cook fish as steaming it inside a paper parcel keeps it moist. I like to prepare my little ‘parcels of food love’ in baking parchment tied up with string, so once brought to the table, diners can unwrap and reveal their very own surprise dish.
This simple yet handsome tart relies on classic sunshine flavours and colours to create a quick and delicious bite to eat. It works wonderfully as a light lunch with just a few dressed green leaves on the side, or can be popped on the table for all to share.
