68 h. ago Georgina Hayden’s recipe for grilled peach, gorgonzola and thyme tartine

Griddled, tiger-striped peaches with thyme and chilli on top of oozy gorgonzola and rocket? You’ll never think of ‘cheese on toast’ in the same way again Essentially a fancy name for “things on toast”, a tartine is a topless sandwich that can be piled high with delicious things with no threat of being squished together. I love the simplicity and elegance of this recipe: it is the perfect balance of sweet and sour, spicy and salty, and it feels special at the same time. Griddle and marinate the peaches ahead of time, if you like, and feel free to switch them for nectarines, apricots or whatever you have to hand that looks good for griddling. Continue reading...

4 d. ago How to make the perfect peach cobbler – recipe | Felicity Cloake's How to make the perfect

A fruity stew topped with something akin to a crumble dumpling, the cobbler is a beloved specialty of the southern US – but whose version will make it to your table?‘If you go to a picnic in the south,” wrote the late South Carolina chef Emily Meggett, “and there’s no peach cobbler, someone’s got some explaining to do.” Cobblers, a rustic variety of fruit pie that seems to have originated in the rough-and-ready environs of the American west, are now principally associated with the US south and are, as chef Brad McDonald observes, “unglamorous” yet “rarely fail to please”.As befits frontier food, they’re extremely adaptable to a variety of climates and kitchens, too, but, as the southern food critic James Villas once explained, “no matter how you construct a hot cobbler, the main principle is that the filling should never be either soggy or dried out and the crust must be crisp enough to create a good counterpoint with the soft fruits or berries – not to mention the obligatory scoop ...

1 week ago How to make perfect fresh tomato pasta – recipe | Felicity Cloake's How to make the perfect

With such a simple dish, and so many ways to make it, can one really distil the ultimate version of pasta al pomodoro crudo? Our resident perfectionist finds out “How many versions of fresh tomato sauce can there be?” Catherine, the generous winner of a charity auction to help me with the research for this column, asks when I tell her what recipe we’ll be making. On the contrary, I tell her, I’ve had my work cut out to narrow the selection here down to a mere seven, not least because the simpler the dish, the more argument there is over how it should be prepared, especially in a place as passionate about its food as Italy.Happily, I’ll have a lot of assistance, because Catherine has raised yet more money for Hospitality Rides (a fundraising initiative for two very worthy industry charities, Only a Pavement Away and the Licensed Trade Charity), by selling tickets to get other people to do my job for me, effectively. In an attempt to sweeten the deal, I tell my assembled minions (all ...

3 w. ago How to make the perfect fritto misto – recipe | Felicity Cloake's How to cook the perfect

A deep-fried delight that sings of the seaside – serve up and let everyone dig in. So whose version gets it just right? Fritto misto (the term for “mixed fry” sounds so much better in Italian, somehow) is, in the words of Katie Caldesi, “an assortment of deep-fried vegetables, fish or meats all bite-size, intended to be eaten with fingers and a wedge of lemon”. And she should know, because she loves the stuff so much that she served fritto misto at her wedding to chef Giancarlo. It’s pure crisp, relaxed holiday pleasure – a simple crowdpleaser that everyone can dig into together, with, as Caldesi observes, a winning element of surprise: “You don’t know what is hidden beneath the batter until you’ve bitten into it.”On that note, and because my memories of the dish involve rustling salty piles washed down with well-chilled carafes of vino della casa at seaside restaurants, I always think of the fishy version (properly fritto misto di mare), but I’ve given suggestions below for a veget...
