two pieces of food sitting on top of a piece of paper next to each other

This is a great way to use up odds and ends of fresh veg, and leftovers too. You can use more or less whatever you fancy from the list, though I do think some kind of onion is essential. As the egg is poured straight into the roasting dish full of hot veg, you don’t need to fry this frittata at all, but it helps to have a heavy ceramic or cast-iron dish, which retains the heat well. And the eggs should be at room temperature, not cold from the fridge.

Caponata is one of my favorite dippy things to whip out for summertime entertaining.

However, they are incredibly versatile and the ideal partner to everything from hummus to a bulghur wheat salad such as tabula kisir. They are also ideal for wrapping burgers, sausages, kebabs and other barbecued meat or veg, and for mopping up a good wet curry or stew.

a casserole dish with cheese and sauce in a pan on top of the stove

I was visiting my sister and my mum up in Scotland the weekend just gone. To my joy they had remembered that I am vegetarian and bought me a couple of aubergines. I had a quick look in the fridge to see what I could make and flicked through one of my sister's cookbooks, River…

Tired of tomato tarts with soggy crusts and long preparation times? We experiment with "waterproofing" store-bought puff pastry to solve both problems. Tired of tomato tarts with soggy crusts and long preparation time, we developed a tomato tart recipe that would have a solid bottom crust and great vine-ripened flavor.
