Sourdough Focaccia. Making both sourdough bread

Sourdough Focaccia.

Making both sourdough bread and focaccia quickly becomes habit. Eventually, it makes sense to combine the two. Really happy with how this turned out, simply used my usual SD bread ratios, sans fancy flours, spread out on a baking tray, topped with tomatoes and rosemary and doused it in olive oil. Easier than making a loaf.

Some more veggie barbecuing on the kamado grill last night.

Jerk-spiced veg kebabs: mushroom, pepper, red onion and fennel with flatbreads and cooling yoghurt dip.

Will have to remember to use less 🌶 for @theraegeorge next time 😳

I’ve had a wonderfully relaxing time off. Much time spent in the pool and also breaking in the new Kamado grill, through sun and showers.

Veg is so underrated on the bbq. Here’s last night’s dinner, a smoke-roast whole cauliflower with hassleback potatoes, asparagus, lemon, butter, garlic, cumin and herbs collected from the garden.

Rustic and generous, this was intended as a side but ended up the main. Crispy, oily, salty, juicy, soft, savoury: focaccia has it all.

Leek and Sourdough Panade. This is one of my favo

Leek and Sourdough Panade.

This is one of my favourite bakes when needing to use up a sizeable chunk of stale bread. Layers of leek/onion/garlic, cubed bread that’s been seasoned, cheese and shredded cabbage get doused in veg stock and set in the oven. I like to add caraway too, addicted to its pairing with both leek and cabbage, but that’s the limit to the extravagance; it’s a humble dish at its core, super satisfying, and best kept simple.

With all the extra time spent at home, it’s been

With all the extra time spent at home, it’s been the perfect excuse to get immersed in the sourdough lifestyle. I’ve been living it for the past couple of weeks now: watching video after video, reading book after book and taking in the many different techniques and timings. Here’s my second loaf, a big improvement on the first, I think, and already becoming a little less an ordeal. It’s quite an experience building a starter from scratch, just flour and water and seeing it become active and able to give rise to your bread. Incredibly rewarding and you can’t beat sourdough for its texture and flavour. It’s tricky getting a hold of flour at the moment, so the next few loaves will likely be cut with odds and ends of different flours: malted, wholemeal, spelt. I can’t think of a better or tastier way to use them.

Much thanks to @cheftomhunt , @gill.meller and @mark_diacono for their guidance.

Happy with the flavours—have been thinking about trying this combination for a little while—could be a more delicate hand when it comes to the plating, but eh, could be worse.

Sausage and Kimchi Toad in the Hole with a Honey,

Sausage and Kimchi Toad in the Hole with a Honey, Soy and Chilli 🌶 Sauce.

With a decent store of kimchi in the fridge, a lot of time is spent thinking up different ways of using it. Pancakes are a common outlet (Chijimi), but, although nice, they are a little boring and lacking in texture.

A toad however, with it’s fat, juicy bangers—thick chunks of bacon 🥓 would also be a welcomed addition for another day—adds a much needed variance. The tangy sauce, concocted on the fly—and in need of writing down measurements next time—is a sour/sweet punch to the dour/grey morning. Topped with some sesame seeds, some Chili flakes and this is a complete joy to eat...and perhaps even better is to return back to bed, afterwards.

Kimchi. My second batch this year. Found a wonderful veg stall in Brecon’s indoor market that stocks Napa, Daikon, Asian Pears - amongst plenty of other great produce. This should be a lot more authentic than my first attempt (lovely though it was). Can’t wait to taste, once funky and fermented.

An Emptying-the-Pantry Veg Stew plus Soda Bread, m

An Emptying-the-Pantry Veg Stew plus Soda Bread, made whilst it simmered.
Had plenty of time to ponder a different tact in making this veg stew with two cancelled trains home from work. Roots first, not the alliums, the mirepoix. The reverse may lead to insiped results with humble veg. High heat and serious colour needs to be achieved, I’m now convinced - the same way we brown meat, develop a fond - before drawing it to a slower, gentler cooking. No stock is needed here, water’s enough; I bet it’ll be even better tomorrow.

A tray of hand-raised pies for our Christmas hampers. 3 Pork and 4 Game. Old-fashioned hot water crust pastry, homemade stock jelly - a lot of labour and love. Been putting the Proper Pies and Pastries course from River Cottage to use a lot this year. Hope the family enjoys them. Lots more baking to do today!

Pizza time. Yesterday’s arrabbiata-style sauce meets the blender. The dough, measured and mixed in minutes within the food processor. Crank the oven full-whack and break out any cheese and toppings that appeal to you at the time. Mine invariably has some sausage or chorizo and a nice drizzle of balsamic before setting on the furiously hot stone for maximum crispness.

Purple Sprouting Broccoli Tart with Sun-dried Toma

Purple Sprouting Broccoli Tart with Sun-dried Tomatoes and Caramelised Onions.
Quiche can be a little involved and fiddly; exactly the type of cooking I want to do when hoping to take my mind off of life’s stresses. The best, in my opinion, aren’t dainty and overly reliant on the custard filling, but rustic, hearty and chock-full of tasty veg. This one is a darn good one and well worth the effort, if I say so, myself ☺️ #food #instafood #tart #rusticfood #quiche #veggie #vegetarian #psb #purplesproutingbroccoli #sundriedtomatoes

Roast Lamb Shoulder on a bed of many herbs. Awaiti

Roast Lamb Shoulder on a bed of many herbs. Awaiting the long slow. Underneath, thinly sliced seasoned potatoes will welcome the aromats and escaped juices. A fashioned cartouche and foil lid keeps the goodness inside when the contents prove too large for the shallow braiser. Time and a low flame are all that’s needed. They will coax the meat to the most giving tenderness. Inside, the heady melange of rosemary, thyme, bay, marjoram, sage, tarragon, garlic will have made their imprint—to be savoured when you close your eyes and let them through; like listening past the core riff of a favourite song, to the rhythm section bringing it all together.

A Super Simple Summery Sausage Supper.
Brown the sausages in a little oil over a medium heat. Once appetisingly coloured, remove, then toss-in a knob of butter along with a thinly sliced onion, fennel and a small-diced carrot. Season here with salt, pepper and nestle in a sprig of rosemary and some chiffonaded sage. After around 7 mins throw in a thinly sliced garlic clove. Halve a handful of cherry tomatoes and add these to the pan along with a good dollop of harissa and a couple of tbsps of water. Return the sausages to the pan and place in a 200degreeC oven for around 15mins. Top with any fennel fronds you may have, a final little pinch of salt and pepper and tuck in.
