33 h. ago How to turn a single egg and rescued berries into a classic British dessert

Strawberries and cream meets Eton mess, using just a single egg white and past-its-best summer fruit – a towering successJust a single egg white can be transformed into enough elegant meringue shards to crown more than four servings of pudding, as I discovered when, earlier this year, I was invited by Cole & Mason to come up with a recipe to mark London History Day and decided to do so by celebrating the opening of the Shard in 2012. Meringue shards make a lovely finishing touch to all kinds of desserts, from a rich trifle to an avant-garde pavlova or that timeless classic, the Eton mess. As for the leftover yolk, I have several recipes, including spaghetti carbonara (also featuring salt-cured egg yolks that make a wonderful alternative to parmesan) and brown banana curd.

1 week ago Rukmini Iyer’s quick and easy recipe for mini mushroom okonomiyaki | Quick and easy

A crisp cabbage and mushroom pancake, made with rice as the ballast, and stuffed with cheddar, onions and a secret ingredient I’ve made chef Tim Anderson’s okonomiyaki from memory for years, realising only recently that rice is not a traditional ingredient and that his recipe is, in fact, for rice yaki, a speciality of Kyushu. It’s the first cousin to okonomiyaki in that it’s a crisp cabbage pancake, but with cooked rice as the main ingredient; after that, however, it’s up to you what you put in.

A good gluten-free flour (I like Freee) – the combination of flours in a gluten-free mix gives you an amazingly crisp pancake. Continue reading...
