One of my favourite biscuits. Unlike most, you err ever-so-slightly on thes side of baking these unttil there’s a hint of colour. The extra crisp helps shelf-life, texture and flavour. From Bread, Cake, Doughnuts, Pudding – Justin Gellatly

Beautiful, straight off the vine black cherry tomatoes in as simple a pasta sauce as you can get. Sweet and delicious. Accompanied by a little home made focaccia, which was elevated beyond the simple baking by the rosemary and garlic infused extra virgin olive oil – heat the oil with a few cloves of garlic and a sprig of rosemary so it gently bubbles for a couple of minutes, then allow to cool.

I may have gone overboard with the pecorino… Not far off doubling the quantity suggested… But it was good. Could easily make it lighter with just a little cheese. I wouldn’t use pancetta again, needs to be smaller chunks and more digestible. Lardons would be fine. From The Food of Italy by Claudia Roden, pg. 243

Quick, cheap and savoury. Really good. From Every Grain of Rice, pg. 272

This is excellent, a great dough. Dissolve the salt in the water, and when the dough is formed ready for as many hours as you can. Mozzarella is overcooked here, I think in a home oven it needs to be added after the base gave) has been in the oven for a few minutes. Also a baking stone would help with the base. Yet to get one that doesn’t explode after a few months. The quantities below make a lot of pizza. Or it makes a fine focaccia if you like.

Quick and pleasingly non-European. It’s a simple flavour, but distinct and despite being made predominantly of pork, does not feel terrible for you. As a simple mid-week supper, or even as an option in a wider selection for a more grand occassion, I absolutely wouldn’t turn my nose up at cooking this again. From Thai Food, pg. 508

Second run out for this (See here), it’s quick and delicious. Only difference this time is that I finished the egg as described in the recipe under the grill. Probably not worth the hassle, but does give the egg a lovely shine. From Doctor’s Kitchen, pg. 154

Just lovely, a real tangy treat. Succulent prawns and sharpness from the tamarind, just held back from being face-puckeringly tart by the fudge-like palm sugar. Would absolutely do again in a heartbeat. From 50 Great Curries of India by Camellia Panjabi, pg. 128
