My regular students are such competent cooks now, gaining confidence each week. And they’ve learned helpful little cooking hacks, like deglazing a pan to add flavour and, if necessary, to rescue slightly scorched ingredients.

I always tell my students to read the recipe before they start. That way they can be sure they have everything they need and be ready to go. Didn’t read this recipe until after I started making it for supper on a chilly winter evening and realised it was a cold salad 😳☺️🙃Still yummy - peanut noodles.

It has been a chicken curry kind of week. While not the most sophisticated, the point of this dish is accessibility, so it needs to be quick & easy to cook-as well as delicious. It also introduces the idea of blending your own spices to get the flavour you like. And adding vegetables!

It’s been ages since I’ve been able to join in cooking a community meal. Today we were and were lucky to have lots of beautiful fresh produce. We made pumpkin & coconut daal, a tomato, pepper & bean stew, loads of salads and will be serving everything up with fresh bread. Good to be back!

Test kitchen moment making beautiful, crispy (not terribly authentic) warmly spiced pea & potato samosas. Using filo pastry and baking rather than deep frying makes them more accessible for teaching.

Our boy was home for the weekend and there has been much feasting. While I’m not normally one for a big Sunday lunch we indulged him with chicken, roasties, cabbage, carrots and the most amazing gravy (thank you for that .harms).

Clearly it is pastry week in Jane’s Kitchen. I am planning to make these Jamaican beef patties with with some of my students and thought I should remind myself of timings and quantities. I was delighted with how they turned out - the pastry was thin, crispy and full of flavour - the filling was soft, rich and spicy. I will post about how we get on in the teaching kitchen.

I think I’ve said before that I am definitely not a pastry chef. But here I am giving it a go, using up some aging apples in the process. While I don’t think I would have got a handshake from Paul Hollywood there were clean plates all round.

Does all that stainless steel make this post a bit too industrial? Maybe, but it struck me that I hadn’t shouted out my amazing Thursday students. Life may not be easy but cooking like this is an achievement to be celebrated.

The cooking highlight of my week was when one of my students surprised herself by enjoying the quesadilla she made in class. Sometimes preparing ingredients in a different way is enough to change how they are perceived.

Pumpkin in its final form. Cheesy, slightly spicy, topped with toasted, crunchy crumbs. It’s deeply comforting on a chilly autumn evening. The orzo gives it a air of risotto, but it’s really just a cheats take on mac ‘n’ cheese. Check out the recipe on the endlessly fabulous

Practising pakora which I cooked with some of my students last week. They were met with great suspicion (perhaps it was the carrot and cauliflower) but when tasted, received a cautious thumbs up. Result!

We love a one pot meal, here it is nduja beans with cavalo nero. Very easy, cool up some nduja, add some chopped onion & garlic, then a couple of tins of beans, chicken stock and simmer. Squish up some of the beans to make it thick and creamier, add some greens. Finally taste and balance the flavour with salt, pepper, lemon and perhaps a little harissa. Serve it in bowls with crusty bread.
