places tons
There are tons of wonderful places to eat in London.
adore complex cut loaded recipes
I adore recipes that make use of one cut of meat or a whole animal to create a complex dish, loaded with flavour.
absorb cooked love rarely rice similarly split
I rarely cook traditional risotto, but I love other grains cooked similarly - barley, spelt or split wheat. I find they have more character than rice and absorb other flavours more wholeheartedly.
versatile
Vegetarian and frugal it may be, but the chickpea is one of the most versatile ingredients you could keep in your cupboards.
fried indulgence
Tossing doughnuts, fritters or fried dumplings in fennel sugar adds grown-up complexity without diminishing the indulgence factor.
fried lemon mixed potato served shaped
One Indian-inspired favourite of mine is mashed potato mixed with lemon juice, breadcrumbs, coriander and chilli, shaped into patties, fried and served with chutney and yoghurt.
