• Something different to an everyday spag bol: It’s Mallika from Quick Indian Cooking’s aloo keema or mince with potatoes and Indian spices. Serve with a big green salad and you have a delicious meal.
• A corn recipe: When The Wednesday Chef says something is “the most wonderful ten-minute, four-ingredient recipe you’ve made all YEAR” then I sit up and listen. She’s the person who first taught me about Heston Blumenthal’s amazing broccoli and she knows her vegies. So here it is caramelised corn with fresh mint.
• Stop worrying in the kitchen: Brilliant quote from Mark Bittman about worrying less and cooking more. Wise, wise words.
• Avocadoes: Lili from Pikelet and Pie has posted the second in her series From garden to plate The first was all about asparagus, and the latest edition is about avocadoes.
• Asparagus & haloumi: It’s such a good flavour combination and asparagus is in season down here, but what I particularly like about Entertaining Made Easy’s version is the lemon chive dressing. Delicious.
• Lentil & bean dishes: From Nigel Slater no less. Love the sound of the Butter beans with mustard and tomatoes, plus there’s a Sausage and lentil supper recipe.
