I loved cooking this very traditional picnic for a client’s pre-match tailgate at Twickenham last weekend. Pork pies, quail scotch eggs, pea and goats cheese tart and roasted vegetable picnic loaf, plush lashings of (not ginger!) beef and some sweet treats to follow.

HAPPY PANCAKE DAY!
A little experimentation led me to the perfect waffle/pancake batter recipe which makes great American style pancakes as well as delish waffles!

I absolutely love cured salmon and if it’s on a menu you can guarantee I’ll order it. I’ve been making this beetroot-cured salmon forever. It’s flavoured with pomegranate molasses and orange giving it a hint of citrus. This is one of the starters in my Valentine’s menu. https://forkfulfood.com/sharing-food/ or linked in bio.

Happy Shrove Tuesday! Here’s a handy pancake batter formula to get you flipping!

1 cup plain flour
1-2 tbsp sugar (optional)
1 1/2 cups milk
2 eggs

Mix dry ingredients together. Whisk eggs and milk together. Gradually stir the wet mix into the dry mix to make a lump-free batter. Melt a little butter in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add a ladle of batter, swirl to cover the base of the pan, cook for 1-2 minutes, flip, cook for another minute or two and enjoy!

AND REMEMBER- THE FIRST PANCAKE IS ALWAYS A FAIL!!!

One of my FAVOURITE breakfasts (or brunch… or lunch… or supper)! Hidden under the smoked salmon and rocket is a delicious CHILLI, LIME, CORIANDER AVOCADO CREAM.

Simply whizz a ripe avocado together with 100g cream cheese, 1 deseeded red chilli, 1 clove of garlic, the zest and juice of 1 lime and a handful
of coriander (use the leaves and stalks).

Any leftovers will keep in the fridge for a few days, and make a delicious dip with crudités or corn chips.

I love the challenge when an almost-empty fridge sends me rooting around my store cupboard to see what I can rustle up for supper. Spaghetti alla Puttanesca is often the result! A punchy pasta sauce made from tinned tomatoes, tuna or anchovies, olives, capers and lots of olive oil - it’s really quick and easy and a great recipe to have up your sleeve for those days when you think you’ve got no food in.

STORE CUPBOARD SPAGHETTI ALLA PUTTANESCA

3 tbsp Olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2-1 tsp chilli flakes
400g tin chopped tomatoes
160-200g tin or tuna (in oil or water) - or 5 chopped anchovies
2 tbsp capes
290g jar pitted black olives, drained
300g spaghetti
Handful of basil or parsley leaves, roughly chopped (optional)
Grated parmesan, to serve (optional)
(Serves 4)

Heat the oil in a non-stick pan over a medium-low heat. Add the onion along with a generous pinch of salt and fry gently for 10 minutes or until soft but not coloured. Add the garlic and chilli, and cook for a further minute.
Add the tomatoes, tuna or anchovies, olives and capers and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook, uncovered, for 15 mins. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper.
Meanwhile, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Cook the spaghetti until just "al dente". Once the pasta is cooked, reserve a mugful of pasta water, then drain the pasta and toss with the sauce.
Add a little of the reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce if needed, stir in the basil and serve with grated parmesan.

I’m so pleased with my new William Whiteley kitchen scissors which I hope will be with me for decades to come. Scissors have been a real bugbear of mine because they just don’t last very long; no matter how much I spend they fall apart in no time and end up in the bin. But no more! My handcrafted Wm Whiteleys are made of Sheffield steel (in Sheffield), can be sharpened and tightened if they get a bit loose, and definitely won’t end up in landfill😄

One of the joys of new cookery books is finding one that’s full of recipes that you can’t wait to cook. new book, Slow Victories is a delightful example. As you can see by the number of pages I have bookmarked, this slow cooker recipe book looks like its going to be one of my favourite “go-tos” for many years to come.

I've just completed Leiths' "Nutrition in Culinary Practice" course which has been a brilliant way of using my Covid-enforced "downtime". The course has taught me the fundamentals of nutrition and how to apply this to a sensible, balanced and healthy diet - as well as some healthy new cooking techniques and new recipe ideas. I've got lots of plans of how I'm going to build this new knowledge into Forkful Food, but for the time being, expect the same delicious food, made healthier!

The picture below is my final assessment piece - a very tasty (and filling) roasted carrot salad with carrot humous, savoury granola, whipped goats curd and asparagus salad. It was really fun to create - and even more fun to eat!

As veganuary draws to a close, I decided to make some almond milk. It was super easy to make (I soaked 200g skin on almonds overnight, drained, then whizzed with 500ml water and strained it through muslin). It was really nice - and much better than some of the supermarket brands I’ve tried. 😊
