    Vegetables Luciana Style

    Exceptionally good treatment of vegetables, perfect on their own with crusty bread or with pasta. Probably many more variations besides. The pre-salting, leaving for an hour, then rinsing and squeezing…

    Madras Fish Curry

    Wonderful, full flavours and feels authentic. Works with more fish than just snapper and monkfish, I used rock salmon here to good effect… Though I read that this can be…

  • Leek, Artichoke and Prawn Paella

    Leek, Artichoke and Prawn Paella

  • Dan Dan noodles

    Dan Dan noodles

    Every Grain Of Rice, pg. 279 & 280
