My New Roots - Delicious vegetarian recipes - How to make healthy choices every day
Eating out is a grand seduction. From the moment I step into a restaurant, I am totally open and utterly surrendered to the experience. The first thing I notice when I enter is the smell – I actually like it to hit me with an assertive thwack – like someone proudly shouting a rainbow of aromas to my face that something amazing is happening in the kitchen. I love sitting down at the table, gently touching the cutlery, unfolding the napkin and placing it in my lap, the first exchange with the server, opening the menu. It’s all very weighty, very important, very ritualistic for me. While I was on my cookbook tour, you can imagine that I ate out a lot. The dish arrived, its scent wafting up from the pristine white bowl and pools of amber oil intermingling with green globes of seasonal spring perfection. The lentils were raw. No, not al dente. I rarely, rarely send something back to the kitchen, but because I was so seduced by the idea of this dish and it completely fell flat, I just had to.

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall Last week, we cleared our heads and palates with bracing juniper. This week, I'm getting carried away with caraway, that warming, earthy spice that's so delicious in everything from hefty winter stews to delicate biscuits and cakes. I love its complexity. Feed the People: This Week’s Recipe: Crumpets Why Crumpets? An Anglo Saxon breakfast invention that – yes – you can make yourself! Crumpets are a favourite weekend breakfast food of mine, served hot, smothered with butter and a little honey. Similar to pikelets, crumpets have a spongier texture and a characteristic honeycomb pattern created by the addition of yeast and sometimes baking powder.

Yucatan-Style Slow-Roasted Pork Tacos June 30, 2011 | By Adam Roberts | 18 Comments When the James Beard award-winning editor of The Washington Post food section writes a cookbook, you know you better buy it. In my case, I blurbed it–(look for me on the back cover!) Spatchcocked Ricotta Chicken This recipe comes from a memory of something my mom made when I was little. I dubbed it "Ravioli Chicken" for the fact that the bird was stuffed under the skin with a cheesy, herby mixture much like the one we used in our homemade ravioli. It's a great way to stretch a bird, literally, to feed more than four. And besides, spatchcock is so fun to say. Spatchcocked Ricotta Chicken

Pumpkin Rice Laksa Soup Recipe This is one of the best soups I’ve ever had. Laksa is a kind of brothy noodle stew, very often made with chicken and coconut milk. When I was coming up with the idea for this soup, I was thinking of the Anglo-Indian mulligatawny soup, which is made from rice, curry sauce and minced meat. If you’re feeling a little bit theatrical, like I was, feel free to take the lid off the pumpkin, scoop out the flesh, and serve the soup in the pumpkin shell. Lovely! The Joy of Cooking Flour and water. That's all you'll need. Really.
