5 h. ago My unexpected Pride icon: The Green Roasting Tin, a cookbook no lesbian vegetarian can be without

Sure, Rukmini Iyer’s recipes are not specifically aimed at queer people, but the first time I cooked one, it was with my girlfriend – and she is now my wifeWalk into a queer woman’s kitchen and the chances are that the lime-green spine of Rukmini Iyer’s The Green Roasting Tin will be poking out from a surface or a shelf – if it is not already on the counter and splattered with food. You are likely to find it in the homes of allies, too – this is the holy grail of what-to-feed-my-queer–vegetarian-offspring cookbooks.Not only does The Green Roasting Tin play into stereotypes about gay and bisexual women – all vegetarian recipes, half vegan and supremely practical (the USP of The Roasting Tin series is that all the recipes are oven-cooked in one dish) – but it is also full of indulgence. The tarts, gratins, salads and bakes are dotted with pomegranate seeds or fresh herbs and drizzled with truffle oil or honey. One recipe even has an entire camembert plonked in a tray of potatoes. And ...

12 h. ago Rachel Roddy’s salad of hazelnuts, gorgonzola and honey dressing | A kitchen in Rome

Some dishes make a lasting impression, and this week two memorable creations from Rome and London meet to inspire a nutty salad of creamy gorgonzola and mixed leavesRecently, I listened to the Italian chefs Niko Romito and Salvatore Tassa in conversation about Italian food culture, and in particular the role of the trattoria. During the warm conversation, Romito, who is one of Italy’s most visionary chefs and whose Ristorante Reale in Abruzzo has three Michelin stars, spoke about the first time he ate at Tassa’s Nu’ Trattoria Italiana dal 1960 in Acuto, which is in the province of Frosinone about an hour south of Rome. Romito recalled the homely atmosphere and Tassa as an old-school host: welcoming, communicative and the conduit (which didn’t sound pretentious when he said it) between local traditions, producers and those who came to eat. But Romito also described a dish of onions, simply braised, but of such goodness that he couldn’t stop thinking about and imagining them. In fact,...

2 w. ago Honey & Co’s recipes for smashed chicken burgers and grilled asparagus salad

Dishes to reignite your appetite just to get out there and barbecue (or to turn on the heat under a griddle pan)Whether or not you have a garden, there is no need to be jealous: barbecue season is here and, whatever your domestic situation, it is yours to enjoy. If you are lucky enough to have your own patch of land, however big or (for most of us town dwellers) small it may be, there is probably at least enough room for a little grill that will serve you well throughout the summer. But even for those who are garden-less (as we are), there is no reason not to enjoy the delights of a barbecue. Charred smashed burgers are all the rage, and making them using chicken rather than beef lightens the whole thing up. Serve with beautifully grilled asparagus and you have a meal fit for a king.
