Little bit busy atm, so it’s just a rapid fire rundown of the best recipes I saw this weekend. No doubt there were other good (and probably some mediocre) things out there. Feel free to leave recommendations.
- The Guardian Weekend magazine had a 12 strong selection of summer salads. Look out for Gary Usher’s hispi, cashew and apricot salad with sesame and lime dressing; Peter Gordon’s lamb neck, figs, feta, olives assembly; Tommi’s peach fattoush; Nathan Outlaw’s crab and tomato mix; and Meera Sodha’s fennel and apple chaat with caramelised almonds – which I had for my supper on Sunday and can highly recommend.
- Brad McDonald’s second Cook residency column was, well, frankly it made me hungry. BBQ goat shoulder and blueberry cobbler.
- Yotam proposed a set of ices. Somewhat optimistic, perhaps, but useful for reference. Particularly the saffron ice cream sandwiches and no churn raspberry ice cream.
- Big Nige wrote about fregola. Mixed with orange and cucumber as a[nother] fresh summer salad, and classic Slater comfort in the form of sausage and fregola mixed through with harissa.
- In The Sunday Telegraph, Diana Henry suggested three gorjeooous ways to make the most of your honey pot: Lamb chops with a walnut salsa, drizzled with honey; honey madeleines; and honey and lavender ice cream.
- One day earlier, Stephen Harris went where others had gone last week with a cherry clafoutis and cherry ice cream.
- Yet more frozen treats in Claire Ptak’s Cook column, where she laid down instructions for a raspberry lemon verbena sorbet. Also a raspberry filled buckwheat crepe.
- Ruby Tandoh’s lime chicken with peach salsa in The Sunday Times Magazine looked good.
- Decent set of ‘sharing’ lunches in The Saturday Times Weekend from an Australian cookbook by Jacqueline Alwill, including: warm radichio with quinoa and olives; salmon baked in a beetroot yoghurt; and lamb with beetroot hummus.
- The Honey & Co duo pointed FT Weekend readers in the direction of chocolate financiers and a cold glass of milk.
- And there was a nice cinnamon custard tart from Nadiya in The Times Magazine.
