3 h. ago Georgina Hayden’s recipe for charred gnocchi, purple sprouting broccoli and gorgonzola

Frying and grilling steers gnocchi away from their familiar doughiness and instead gives them a delicious, nutty edgeI like pre-packed gnocchi as much as the next person, but it has never been something I can get particularly excited about (I’m obviously not including handmade gnocchi in this statement, because that is heaven sent). However, frying ready-made gnocchi so they are golden and nutty on the outside, elevates them to something lighter, tastier and much more interesting. I love to finish them under the grill, to accentuate that crispness, together with the oozy sweetness from nuggets of gorgonzola. A fancy-feeling dish that is incredibly easy to throw together.

As a 10-year-old he had played the lead in a TV series called Circus Boy, but the former child star began to notice something odd about the jobs his agent was now sending him to: every one was for a series “about kids in a band”. He says: “One was called The Happeners, about a little folk trio like Peter, Paul and Mary. One was about a surfing band like the Beach Boys. Another was about a big family folk ensemble. Something was in the air, obviously, because of the Beatles, the Beach Boys, the Four Seasons, Motown. Young people, who had disposable income, were being targeted.”None of those shows got made but a fourth audition proved more fruitful: it called for “folk’n’roll m...
