20 best slow food recipes: part 1. Lucy Boyd’s slow-cooked beef stew with wine This is a sort of daube, in that chuck or shank cuts are cooked slowly with a good red wine and some stock, celery and carrots, then finely sliced potatoes are added towards the end to make a lid. A good buttery lettuce salad with a mustard dressing is all you need with this stew.

MACCHERONI CHEESE - OSTRO. This version of maccheroni cheese has absolutely no resemblance to the iridescent yellow packet stuff you get from the supermarket. Instead, it is a wonderful mix of cheeses and good quality pasta, topped with a crunchy crumb. The use of four cheeses makes this version so complex and balanced and the Taleggio really shines. Whilst you could omit the crumb and just finish of the dish for a few minutes under the grill, the crunchy topping really makes it a complete dish, and gives it a great texture. Served with a salad of dressed leaves, this makes for a perfect midweek meal or a lazy weekend lunch. 500 g good-quality maccheroni sea salt freshly ground black pepper olive oil 1 small bunch fresh oregano, leaves picked 75 g Parmesan cheese, freshly grated, plus a little extra for grating 125 g Taleggio cheese, roughly torn 75 g Mascarpone cheese ¼ nutmeg 1 ball Buffalo Mozzarella cheese FOR BREADCRUMBS 1 cup fresh breadcrumbs 1 tbsp olive oil 1tsp thyme leaves 1.

Malai means "cream". And Chandra is my middle name. Think a football-shaped dumpling, covered in thick, creamy curry sauce, each mouthful a feast of flavour and texture. Dip into the sauce to hunt for the soft dumpling with its crisp coating, sink your fork in, and inside you'll find the toasted almonds and little bits of courgette. Serve with plenty of basmati rice to soak up the cream and make everything just perfect. Isa Does It by Isa Chandra Moskowitz.

Rarely have I been so excited about a recipe, but this one is just plain out of this friggin world.

Trust me guys, when I say “Knock–You-Right-Off-Your-Feet”, I really mean “Knock-You-Right-Off-Your-Feet”. These brownies seriously threw me straight to the ground with every single bite I took . I still don’t know how I even managed to not eat the entire pan right then and there, after I took the first bite. In fact, I don’t even know how it is that I was able to only eat 3 squares out of the whole pan. And that’s over the course of a week, too!

I really hope that they freeze well and that I haven’t just wasted half the batch by throwing them in there, ‘cuz that would be a hell of a shame. I mean, these guys are absolutely perfect in every possible way. Honestly, this recipe is FAR superior to my previous, non-paleo version, in every possible way. I know that back then, I said that those brownies were really great, but I wouldn’t even consider making them again now that I’ve tasted these. Avocado Coconut Ice Cream. When I was younger, we used to go to a restaurant in Los Angeles, the long-gone Scandia. It was one of those places where they would wheel up the salad cart, and toss a big bowl of salad right at your table. Since some members of my family went there a lot, they made a special salad for us, which had lots of finely chopped vegetables in it, as well as little cubes of avocado.

It was always fun for a kid from the sticks of New England to sit in that restaurant, installed in a high-backed booth, watching the celebrities and the hoi-polloi mingle and eat nearby. But as much as I loved the salad, and straining my neck every time someone walked in the door, I couldn’t stand those slippery little green bits in there and would eat around them as politely as I could. Needless to say, nowadays, I can put all those avocados that I missed out on years later, on the same list with all those New England lobster platters that featured twin lobsters for $8.99 that I didn’t order when I was growing up.

Just Hungry | Japanese food! Authentic, mostly healthy Japanese recipes for everyone. The kids are alright: kid and goat recipes | Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall. It wasn't so long ago that goat's cheese had a rather hippyish image, while fresh goat's milk was almost impossible to get hold of. But now all things goaty have gone mainstream. Far from being the preserve of specialist healthfood shops, goat's milk and all its related products are flowing into supermarkets in an ever-increasing stream – you can buy goat's yoghurt, goat's butter, even goat's ice-cream. And very delicious they can be, too. We have a lot to thank our nannies for. But as the caprine dairy industry has flourished, so has its dubious back story. In addition to these welfare issues is the problem of the billies.

There are a couple of valid consumer responses to this. There's been a renaissance of our veal industry, as many people have woken up to the fact that eating male calves – provided they've been raised in a high-welfare system – is a saner option than having them slaughtered and incinerated.

Spiced Burnt Caramel Ice-cream Recipe. Date and Yogurt Shake - lightened up Persian Majoon | Wandering Spice. I adore a rich, thick date shake, full of ice cream, whipped cream and… more cream. Once and a while, only a dairy bomb like that will do. But, I was happy to find this lightened up recipe that I can whizz up when I need a quick (and much healthier) fix.

This is a slightly altered take on Louisa Shafia’s date shake in The New Persian Kitchen, which uses plain yogurt instead of ice cream for creaminess and tang. Add a banana, ice, a drop of vanilla and spices (my pick: cardamom), and out of the blender comes a cold, smooth treat that is different to the original but equally satisfying. Toasted nuts and seeds on top are a must, and give this shake its signature Eastern twist. I sprinkled mine with shredded coconut and toasted sesame seeds from a recent market sale. The method here is simply knowing your blender.
