POT-ROAST CHICKEN
A one-pot recipe book without a pot-roast chicken would be like Christmas Day without a turkey, and there’s
a reason why this recipe, in particular, became a staple Italian meal. Once you’ve made the stuffing it’s a throwit-all-in affair that can be a lifesaver when preparing a busy Sunday lunch.

1 tablespoon tomato purée

1 Heat the olive oil in the base of a 3-litre flameproof
casserole over a medium heat. Add the celery, carrots,
onion, garlic and roughly chopped sage and gently fry
for approximately 15 minutes or until the vegetables have
softened, stirring occasionally. Try not to get any colour
on the vegetables as this is a gentle cooking process.
2 Add the tomato purée and stir in before adding the chopped
tomatoes. Turn the heat to low and fry, covered, for a further
15 minutes, wiggling the pan every few minutes to prevent
anything catching on the bottom. Pour over the stock and
bring to the boil. Simmer for 30 minutes without a lid.
3 Using a stick blender, purée about half the soup so you
are still left with some delicious chunks. Stir in the beans
and cook for 2 minutes until your soup is heated through
and the beans are warm. Garnish with sage leaves.

TomATo & SAGE SoUP
most recipes for Italian-style tomato soup stand out with their basic technique of creating a soffritto, a simple
melange of olive oil, celery, carrots and onion. This makes a wonderfully strong foundation to the soup upon
which many ingredients can be added. Here is just one idea which happens to include my favourite bean. Eat
with chunks of crusty bread, preferably while sitting on the sofa wrapped in a fleece.

It can be such a tricky one, knowing what to serve when you’re
planning a bit of a get together. On the one hand, you don’t
want to offer lame old bowls of salt and vinegar around,
and even though there’s something deliciously retro about
a cheese and pineapple hedgehog, there are times when you
want to come up with that extra special something on a stick.
Preheat the oven to 150˚C/gas mark 2. Wrap the beetroot in foil with the thyme, whole garlic
cloves, salt and half the olive oil. Bake for 30‑40 minutes or until tender. Cool, peel and
roughly chop the garlic and beetroot.
Heat the remaining oil in a saucepan and when it’s hot add the onion, cabbage and carrot,
vodka, sugar and salt. Tip in the roasted garlic and beetroot. Sweat briefly and then pour in
the beef stock and add the bay leaf. Simmer for 15‑20 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the soured cream, horseradish, dill, beetroot tops and
black pepper. Set aside.

The best food I’ve enjoyed in Singapore is sold in seafood stalls. Their chilli-fired skate in banana
leaves is dynamite in more ways than one. Here’s my version, which replaces the skate with
delicious halibut. The fish is chilli-seasoned, wrapped in the leaves – or in paper and foil, if you
wish – and baked. The parcels are opened at the table, where they release super-fragrant steam.
Talk about aromatherapy!
I’ve based these on crab rangoon, the deep-fried, crab-filled dumplings of Chinese restaurant cooking. Often
made with imitation crab and too much cream cheese, they can fall below the mark. Not, however, my
super version, made with the best crab, a touch of honey, jicama for crunch and just enough cream cheese

the first. Turn in the sides to enclose the fish completely. If using a banana leaf,
secure the parcel with butcher’s twine; if using paper, wrap the parcel in the foil
and close to seal. Repeat with the remaining chilli mixture and pieces of fish.

Ming’s tip:
I call for red jalapeños, which are
slightly hotter than the green, but you
can certainly use the ordinary kind.
3 Fill a deep-fat fryer or medium heavy saucepan one-third full with oil. Over a high
heat, bring to 180°C on a deep-frying thermometer. Add half the wontons and fry for
about 2 minutes until golden brown. Remove with a large mesh spoon and drain on
kitchen paper. Repeat with the remaining wontons.
Ming’s tip:
Don’t overfill the wontons or they won’t seal properly.
Video tips:
Watch the video to see my simple technique for peeling and dicing jicama,
and to learn how to form wontons.
Cut the twine from the parcels or remove the foil. Transfer the parcels to plates,

SuSHi Rolling PARTy
A sushi rolling party is fun for everyone. Guests really get into the easily
mastered process of making maki, then enjoy the result of everyone’s efforts,
no matter how non-pro.
The host should prepare the sushi rice beforehand and keep it warm in a
temperature-holding container like the Igloo sushi restaurants favour or in a glass
or metal bowl covered with clling film, then foil. Bring the rice to your rolling
area – a large table or kitchen island, for example.
Do your mise en place – prep all the recipes you’ll use up to the point
of rolling, including the water-vinegar mixture used for making the maki and
handrolls. Place all ingredients in suitable dishes or small bowls that can be
brought to the rolling area.
I like to have a rolling mat for each person – they’re inexpensive – but you
can certainly get away with fewer, depending on the number of guests. You’ll
also want to have slicing knives on hand to cut the rolls – straight across into
eight pieces, on the bias into thirds or any way you like – and a platter or
platters lined with banana leaves or shredded cabbage or shredded iceberg
lettuce for serving the sushi. Dishes of soy sauce, wasabi and pickled ginger,
the traditional sushi condiments, should also be on hand.
When everyone has gathered, demonstrate the rolling process – and your
guests are in business.

the honey or syrup add another dimension to the dish, bridging the gap between the lovely creamy rice and
the sharpness of the fruit.
5 eggs, separated
200g honey
100g unsalted butter, softened
500g puréed chestnuts [or chestnut purée?
Sweetened or unsweetened?]
100g ground walnuts (or hazelnuts)
[can you buy ready ground?]
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
100g dark chocolate, grated or
roughly chopped
Raw cocoa powder for dusting
AMBeR RoSe
100g pearl rice (short grain rice)
100ml light honey or light maple syrup
small knob of butter
1.2 litres milk
5 cardamon pods
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
_ cup sultanas (optional) [give as weight]
Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas mark 4. Grease and line a 26cm loose-based cake tin.
Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas mark 4.
Start by mixing the egg yolks and honey in a large bowl until thick and smooth, add the butter, puréed
chestnuts, walnuts, lemon zest and chocolate and mix thoroughly until everything is completely
incorporated.
Put the rice, honey or maple syrup and butter into a 1.2 litre capacity pie dish. Bring the milk to the boil
and pour over the rice. Bake in the preheated oven for 1–1_ hours by which time the pudding should have a
golden skin and the rice underneath should have soaked up the rice and be cooked through but still be soft
and creamy.
In a separate, very clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold in the egg whites,
trying not to lose the air from the mixture, and don’t bang the bowl. Scrape the mixture into the
prepared tin and bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from the oven and leave to
cool in the tin.
This is best when eaten immediately. I like to serve mine with warm poached plums.
Poached plums
When the cake has cooled completely, turn out and dust with raw cocoa powder. Serve cold with a little
sour cream or crème fraîche. I like it with cherry compote (see page xx).
10 large or 15 small plums,
cleaned and stalks removed
150-200ml maple syrup, depending on
sweetness of plums
250ml water
2 star anise
4 cloves
Put the plums, maple syrup and water into a saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the spices and
partially cover the pan with a lid. Leave the fruit to poach in the wonderfully scented syrup for 15–20
minutes until the fruit is completely soft and melting.

Pear & cinnamon cake with
early autumn berries
I came up with this cake when my son asked me for ‘a cake that kids like’. In my unrelenting way of always
trying to add a little fruit, I grated some pear into a classic sponge recipe and added some cinnamon, and
this is the result. I have used blackberries, which go really well with the pear and spice, but you could just as
well use boysenberries or loganberries. It’s quite a delicate cake, with a fine crumb, that makes a wonderful
picnic cake, or a light dessert cake. Best served warm or on the day of baking.
200g unsalted butter, softened
200g unrefined golden caster sugar
3 eggs
200g plain spelt flour, sifted
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pear, peeled, cored and finely grated
Unrefined icing sugar (optional) for dusting
for the marbled berry cream
200g blackberries, washed, or other dark fruit
300ml double cream or greek-style natural yogurt
2 tablespoons maple syrup
Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas mark 4. Grease and flour a 24cm loose-based cake tin.
Cream the butter and sugar in a large bowl until pale and fluffy, then add the eggs, one at a time, beating
between each addition. Add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, vanilla extract and pear, folding in gently

Cinnamon & sultana rice pudding
with poached plums
This is a very traditional Italian cake, perfect for a winter’s day or night, the sort that makes me want the
scent of wood smoke and a cosy spot in which to eat it. Most definitely this is one of my top ten all-time
favourites and it’s very easy to make. It contains no flour, making it a treat that everyone can enjoy.

A comforting chocolate & chestnut cake
Scrape the mixture into your prepared tin and bake for 40–50 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the
middle comes out clean. Remove from the oven and leave to cool for 10 minutes before turning out of the
tin.
Meanwhile, make the marbled berry cream. Place the berries in a sieve over a medium bowl and use a
spatula or the back of a spoon to press the berries through the sieve (it will take a few minutes) and discard
the seeds that remain.

an exceptional person – I can’t wait

If using cream, pour it into a separate bowl and whip until it forms very soft peaks, taking care not to
overwhip. Add the sieved berry mix and maple syrup and fold through very carefully to create a marbled
effect. If using greek-style natural yogurt not cream, simply stir the berry mix and maple syrup gently
through the yogurt. Serve with the cake.

My father introduced me to this delicious east-west style
dressing. It’s incredibly versatile and is robust enough to take
on a spicy Thai-style salad as well as the rich flavours in this
recipe. The barley couscous, though very tasty, is not particularly
nutritious, and the amaranth, though highly nutritious is too fine
a grain to have by itself – so the combination works well!
Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas mark 6.
In a bowl, combine the butternut squash, rosemary, sugar,1½ tablespoonfuls
of olive oil, a generous sprinkling of sea salt and a good grind of pepper. Scatter
over a roasting tray in a single layer and roast for 20–25 minutes or until tender
but not mushy. Remove from the oven and leave to cool.
Meanwhile, put the couscous into a bowl and cover with 200ml hot stock, cover
with clingflim and leave for 5 minutes. Put the amaranth into a pan, cover with
the rest of the stock and bring to the boil. Simmer for 20 minutes, or until
cooked, then pour into a sieve, rinse with a little cold water and thoroughly
drain over the pan for 5 minutes.
When you are ready, preheat the oven to 180/160 fan /gas mark 4. Place the
aubergine shells in a baking dish side by side and divide the mixture between
them. Sprinkle with the cheeses and bake the aubergines for 25 minutes or until
piping hot.
Brush the courgette slices with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Griddle
until charred on both sides, then cut into 2–3cm slices.
When cooled, combine the grains in a bowl. Add the courgettes, rocket, pine
nuts or pumpkin seeds, mint leaves and goat’s cheese. Mix together the dressing
ingredients and, when ready to serve, pour over the salad. Toss together, taste
for seasoning and add extra lemon juice if it’s not tart enough.

these are a hit. I often cut them smaller and serve them after dinner
with coffee. Ask your guests what the hidden ingredient is and I
guarantee they won’t be able to tell you. Adding raisins or frozen
or fresh raspberries also works if it isn’t the season for cherries.
You will need a 9 inch loose bottomed deep cake tin, greased and lined.
You will also need a 21cm x 25cm tin with a depth of approx 5 cm, lined with
greaseproof paper.
First of all cook the quinoa in boiling water for about 12 minutes, then drain
thoroughly and cool.
In a pan put the butter, cocoa, syrup and 100g chocolate and melt over a gentle
heat. Half ll another pan with some boiling water and gently heat. Break the
topping chocolate into a heat-proof bowl and leave to slowly melt over the
water. Meanwhile break up the digestives into a large bowl and using the end
of a rolling pin, bash them up a bit more, so that they look roughly chopped.
Stir in the quinoa, cherries, walnut and chia seeds. Pour over the chocolate and
butter mixture, stir until combined and then spread out into the tin. Pour over
the melted chocolate and chill until solid, then cut into 16-20 bars or cubes and
keep in the fridge.

garlic: the MIGHTY bullb
Natasha Edwards grew up on Mersey Farm – popularly
known as the garlic farm since her father planted his
first crop on the Isle of Wight in 1977, when she was
just a toddler. Over the years, as the farm became
Europe’s biggest commercial garlic producer with
over 20 varieties to its name, Natasha has planted,
harvested, plaited, smoked, pickled, potted, tasted
and treated, all in the name of garlic, and throughout
all this her passion for this incredible plant has
remained undimmed.

GARLIC
the
healing
mighty bulb
The magic of garlic, for cooking and healing, has been
known for hundreds of generations, in fact since the
first civilisations of Mesopotamia. It has been used
medicinally for at least 3,000 years and yet, until
relatively recently, its benefits were considered little
more than folklore. Now, however, its therapeutic
powers are proven – described in over 1,000 scientific
studies, which detail its 100+ biologically useful
chemicals and underline its value in lowering
cholesterol, preventing blood clots, reducing blood
pressure, fighting cancer and curing everything from
athlete’s foot to ear infections.
Natasha Edwards has always known the wonders of
garlic, growing up on the famous ‘garlic farm’ on the
Isle of Wight and, on a few occasions, enjoying ‘garlic
queen’ status at the annual festival after the summer
harvest. And therefore she is the perfect person to chart
the rise of the mighty bulb and to encourage us to use it
much much more.
The Mighty Bulb is a comprehensive guide to using garlic
at home, and not just as a staple of the culinary toolkit
but in a variety of ways. There’s advice on growing your
own (the best varieties for health) and how to cultivate
and store the plant to maintain its remedial properties.
Natasha also shows you how to dry and plait garlic into
traditional grappes, how to make up decongestants
and boost the immune system. And a whole chapter of
recipes celebrates garlic in the kitchen and ensures that,
through cooking, its therapeutic benefits are maintained.
Garlic’s phenomenal flavour and natural healing powers
are a gift. Nature has done all the hard work, all we have
to do is reap the rewards, and this book shows you how.

The italian Table includes 115

proves, you can be kosher and cook Chinese, French, Italian, Indian,
New American — any cuisine in the world. With Geila’s “tool box” and

there’s no excuse for kosher cooks not to turn out interesting,

new techniques and great recipes for
unlimited kosher cooking
Rooted in traditional kosher practice yet
wonderfully innovative, KOSHER MODERN shows
readers how to make any dish you’ve ever wanted
to try kosher, with nothing lost in translation.
The book’s unique method, based on simple food
chemistry and ingenious ingredient substitutions,
promises a limitless kosher repertoire while
fostering creativity and independence from recipes.
KOSHER MODERN provides 12 chapters
of exciting, contemporary recipes organised by
protein — many cleverly modifiable to serve a
variety of menus and occasions, from family meals
to special entertaining, plus new twists to old
favourites. Everything is covered, from breakfast
and brunch specialties to pastas, vegetable
main courses and useful everyday basics like
stocks, vinaigrettes and herb marinades. Geila’s
method is simple and she explains in each recipe
introduction the thinking behind her adaptations
and substitutions so her techniques and thought
processes can be easily applied to other non-kosher
dishes. In addition, introductory ‘three in-one’
recipes show how a single formula can be altered
to become meat, dairy, or pareve — the dish
categories dictated by kosher practice. A unique
chart offering ingredient-exchange options at
a glance, invaluable shopping resources, and a
foreword by leading cookbook author Arthur
Schwartz, round out the book.
With groundbreaking techniques, labour-saving
shopping strategies and great recipes from around
the globe, KOSHER MODERN will become an
instant classic — an indispensable guide for a wide
range of food lovers, both observant and not, from
starter cooks to the kitchen-confident. You will
never look at kosher food the same again!

Puffy Fruit Bake
My Marvellous Minestrone Soup
This is basically a sweet Yorkshire pudding with added cherries. It’s a great
choice for when you fancy a bit of sweet stodge – which, if you’re anything like
me, is all the time! If I happen to have some low-calorie cream in the fridge, I’ll
allow myself a drizzle of it over the top of my Puffy Bake – well, why not, it’s
only a drizzle!
I love to cook huge vats of this soup in true mamma Italiana style. This recipe
is for four but, of course, you can double or triple it and keep some, minus the
pasta, in the fridge for another day (if you leave the pasta in, it will become too
soft). If you have a basil plant hanging around on your windowsill, pop a few
fresh basil leaves on top for an extra dimension – it will make you feel like a
true Italian.

Preheat the oven to 220°C/gas mark 7. Put the flour

whole time until you have a smooth batter.

Stir in the tomato purée, followed by the stock and

Chicken and Preserved Lemon Tagine
We all love this dish in my family. The only thing I have changed since my fat
days is the amount of oil – I used to put in about 4 tablespoons – but nobody
has ever noticed a difference!
Serves 4
7g FAT
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, peeled and
finely chopped
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons ground paprika
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground turmeric
3 garlic cloves, peeled
and crushed
4 skinless chicken breasts or
thighs
300ml chicken stock
a bunch of fresh coriander,
roughly chopped
a handful of chopped fresh
flatleaf parsley
salt and freshly ground black
pepper
10 green olives
rind of 1½ preserved lemons, cut
into thin strips
1 red chilli (deseeded if
preferred), finely sliced
1.3g SATURATES
3.3g SUGARS
1.19g SALT
215 CALORIES
Heat the oil in a large casserole and fry the onion
really slowly until soft but not coloured. Add the
spices and garlic and fry for a couple of minutes,
stirring the whole time. If you have time, rub this
mixture into the chicken thighs and pop them into
the fridge to marinate for a few hours. If you don’t
have time, simply add the chicken to the pan and
fry until the flesh becomes opaque – this should
take a couple of minutes. Add the stock, half the
coriander and the parsley. Season well, then cover
and simmer over a really low heat for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, put the olives into a small bowl and
pour over enough boiling water to cover – this will
remove the salty residue from the olives. Set aside
for a few minutes, then drain.
Throw the strips of preserved lemon rind into the
pan, stir in the olives and chilli and simmer until
the meat is lovely and tender and cooked through.
This will take about 20 minutes if you are using
breasts, or 45 minutes if you are using thighs, but
ensure that the meat is cooked through. Scatter
over the remaining fresh coriander to serve.

The GI diet will revolutionise your eating habits. With

pangs, this is the easy way to lose weight and eat well.

Foods are divided up into low, medium and high GI.
Low-GI foods are slow to digest, making you feel less
hungry and helping you lose weight. The GI of a dish
can be affected by a number of factors – fibre and fat
content, preparation and cooking method – but
dietitian Dr Mabel Blades has simplified it so all you
have to do is follow her advice and watch the weight
fall off.

The Glycaemic Index is a measure of how fast
carbohydrates are broken down by your body and
therefore how fast they raise blood sugar levels. Unlike
other diets, it distinguishes between different types of
carbohydrates, so that you don’t have to eliminate any
food groups, allowing you to eat a balanced range of
foods and ensuring that your weight loss is steady and
healthy. And your diet is easier to follow!
THE DIET THAT NUTRITIONISTS RECOMMEND
ALLERGY MAGAZINE
‘As well as yummy recipes, there are useful pointers to lower
the GI of everyday foods’
1st
The GI diet has been widely accepted by nutritionists,
dietitians, doctors and scientists as a diet that not only
works but is extremely good for your health. Following
a low-GI diet reduces blood sugar levels and is thought
to cut the risk of heart disease and lower cholesterol as
well as helping with type 2 diabetes and even
preventing it. Low-GI foods also promote healthy
bacteria in the bowel and intestines, which reduces
food sensitivities. And it is a diet that will not only
help you lose weight, but it will make sure you keep it
off for good.
GI DIET
Jane Suthering is an experienced food writer
and consultant, recipe developer and food
stylist. She is the President of the Guild of
Food Writers and the author of over ten books.
The GI diet is high on flavour, low on denial,
with proven long-term success.

you more energy and help you feel better in your own
primary series at their own pace. At my first class I
copied those around me for a while and then did my
own thing. The teacher scolded me for not following
the set sequence. She showed me up to marichyasana
D (see below left) – a seated twist about halfway into
the sequence – and told me to stop there. As I was
leaving she said, ‘Hey, do not come back unless you
learn the sequence… and you’d better come back!’
I found the diagram of the primary series which for
so long I’d gone through randomly, skipping the harder
poses, and every day I went up to marichyasana D until
I could do it and was ready to add the next pose. Now
I was on the Ashtanga path, learning the traditional
method of adding one pose at a time, only going as far
through the primary series as I could go with integrity.
I was 16 in the late 1990s and working part-time in a
juggling shop; there was one guy who was so much
better at juggling than everyone else. When I asked my
boss why, he said, ‘He doesn’t drink alcohol and he
does yoga.’ I hadn’t considered that yoga could work in
a deeply practical way. Maybe it could not only improve
my juggling but transform my ability to concentrate too
and generally make me feel really good. So I got a book
and copied the shapes every morning for about 30
minutes. I had the idea of replacing a negative habit
(smoking) with a positive one (yoga), so I never skipped
my morning postures. My whole body was stiff, but the
way it released amazed me. It wasn’t just a physical
transformation; my mental health seemed to improve a
hundred-fold.
At university in london I found an Ashtanga class.
My teacher encouraged me to try ‘Mysore style’, where
students work through postures in the Ashtanga

Teenagers suffer greatly from shoulder tension as a
result of hunching over desks and carrying heavy
school bags. Developing girls can be self-conscious
about their breasts and often fold their arms in front,
which rounds the shoulders. Side stretches, shoulder
shrugging and heart-opening postures, such as
backbends, help release tension and increase body
confidence. Sun salutations exhaust them but are so
good for flexibility, strength and stamina. Inversions,
such as handstand and headstand, combat mental
fatigue, increase confidence and relieve tired and
aching growing legs. Inversions come into their own at
exam time because they are energising and brainboosting as well as calming and meditative.
Most of the time it’s visualisation and restorative
poses that they really want. The pressure at school
and the curveballs thrown by their hormones are
even more intense now. Teenagers are very internal,
working out who they are and what to do with their life.
There’s a lot of free-floating anxiety and so they need
time to find some inner groundedness. They feel safe

having any friends. I don’t offer counselling but they

that in yoga we’re all friends and everyone is doing

Ashtanga is a dynamic class that follows a set pattern.
The aim of the primary series (or yoga chikitsa – there
are more advanced series too) is to purify the body and
mind and realign the musculoskeletal system. It begins
with sun salutations, which are essentially a moving
prayer – or a movement meditation. They lead into a set
of standing postures, such as triangle and warrior. The
seated poses that follow are primarily forward bends,
often done with modifications, because most of us have
stiff feet, ankles, knees and hips. The poses aren’t held
for long (five breaths) but there are lots of them. The
emphasis is always on the link between breath (ujjayi,

Sit with your legs wide and imagine that on the floor in front of

ingredient – spiders, rainbows, bananas…anything! – and put it
as far into the pot as you can reach, using alternate arms first
and then both, but keeping your bottom on the floor. Stir as
wide a circle as you can five times in each direction. Then
reach far inside the pot, grab some of the magic and eat it up,
keeping your bottom on the floor. Reach both arms into the
sky, and then reach for your toes.

with steak?
Being Australian, I love a good steak. In fact, I’d say it was in
the top five of my favourite foods ever. However, I limit
myself to no more than one a week and I always eat the
best-quality steak I can get. It’s far better to have an
expensive steak once every so often than it is to eat loads of
cheap, non-organic supermarket steak and mince several
times a week.
My favourite steak ever…
I’ve eaten steaks all over the world and my favourite way to
eat steak is: A rib eye, at least 2 inches high, seared until it
looks perfect and roasted with rosemary and garlic until
medium rare. Sprinkled with Himalayan sea salt, sliced on a
big wooden chopping board and served with sweet potato
mash and sautéed spinach.
Steak is also a fantastic source of iron which boosts your
energy levels. And although iron is fairly hard for the body to
absorb, the following vitamins help your body absorb it more
efficiently, so try to serve these alongside your steak:
✳ Vitamin C: found in citrus fruits, strawberries, kiwi fruits,
Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, kale (a dark green leafy
vegetable) and peppers
✳ Vitamin A: found in sweet potatoes, carrots, broccoli, peas
and lemons
2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into
small pieces
2 tablespoons organic Greek yogurt
3 tablespoons pomegranate seeds
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 x 200g grass-fed rib-eye steaks
2 tablespoons sesame oil, plus extra for
drizzling
1 large head broccoli, broken into florets
1 red chilli, finely sliced
Method
1. Place the sweet potato in boiling water for
about 20 minutes or until very soft. Transfer
to a large bowl and mash with the Greek
yogurt, then stir in the pomegranate seeds.
Finish with a grind of black pepper.
2. Meanwhile, heat a griddle pan until very
hot. Rub the steaks with the sesame oil and
salt and pepper and sear in the heated griddle
pan for 2–3 minutes on each side for mediumrare. Leave to rest for 5–10 minutes.
3. Steam the broccoli over a pan of boiling
water, then strain and transfer to a bowl.
Drizzle with the sesame oil and sprinkle with
the sliced chilli.
4. Serve the steak with the mash and broccoli
on the side.
Note: a few things can actually inhibit the absorption of iron,
including the tannin found in tea and the calcium in milk, so
avoid these when eating steak.

Anybody who doesn’t live on a beautiful, deserted tropical
island – so most of us – will come into daily contact with
toxins. Fumes from cars, dirt in the air, medication, toxins
in cleaning products, tap water – you name it, it’s toxic. But
let’s face it, we’d lead a pretty miserable (not to mention
weird) life if we tried to avoid these things altogether.
Several people also argue that our bodies are perfectly
capable of dealing with toxins – and they’re right, up to a
point, because our bodies are designed to cope with them.
Unfortunately, however, we’re exposed to so many of them
nowadays – especially in food and drink – that we’ve
become overloaded. So it makes sense to limit our
bodies’ exposure to toxins in the first place. We can do this
by keeping our food as clean and lean as possible and by
limiting our exposure to toxins from other sources. Don’t
forget – fewer toxins equals a leaner body.
Tap water, in my opinion, is fairly toxic and best
avoided. A 2008 study by the UK’s Drinking Water
Inspectorate found traces of medication in our drinking
water and another in America in 2011 found traces of
anti-anxiety. These traces were incredibly small, so there’s
no need to panic, but it makes sense to make sure that
everything you eat and drink is as clean as possible, so
buy a water filter jug and keep it in your fridge. You can
also get a filter attached to your tap at home, but this will
be more expensive.

book with:

are some toxins worse
than others?
Absolutely. For example, caffeine is better for us than
alcohol. In moderation and when drunk properly (see
Chapter 3 for more information on this), coffee can
actually burn fat, give you a great hit of antioxidants and
improve your performance in the gym. A 2010 study from
MacMaster University in Canada found that caffeine
before a workout improves the performance of muscles by
releasing calcium that’s stored in muscles. It also effects
the brain’s sensation of exhaustion. It’s only when you
have too much of it that it becomes fattening because it
places stress on the adrenal glands, disturbs sleep,
dehydrates you and may stop you drinking enough water.
However, one cup of coffee a day is a good thing if you

3 Meanwhile start making the risotto. Heat the remaining
oil in a large sauté pan over a medium heat. Add the onion
and cook until soft. Add the spelt and stir to coat in the
onions. Continue to cook for 1 minute until the spelt starts
to smell slightly nutty.
4 Pour 150ml of the stock into the pan, stirring all the time.
Allow most of it to evaporate and then add the rest of the
stock a ladleful at a time, stirring frequently until all the
liquid has been absorbed and the spelt is tender but still
has some ‘bite’.
5 Add the roasted butternut squash and walnuts to the
pan. Stir to combine and season to taste with salt and
freshly ground black pepper. Using a vegetable peeler
shave the goat’s cheese over the risotto, garnish with sage
leaves and serve immediately.

Secateurs or scissors
how to do it
Find a plant with ripe seeds. You will know this because
the seed case will be brown and papery (see How do
I know if seed is ready to collect?, below) for more
details. Pick the seedheads either by snapping them off
(seedheads c20 PIC) or cutting them with your scissors
and then pop them into the brown paper bag. Label the
bag.
Lay the seeds out to dry on a greenhouse bench, warm
windowsill or an airing cupboard. Let them lie loosely
in open cardboard boxes or in open paper bags or on
newspaper, making sure you keep them labeled. Don’t use
plastic bags because the seeds will sweat and rot.
After a week or so, when you are sure that the seeds
are completely dry, remove any seed cases or chaff (which
can encourage rotting) and put the seeds into small
envelopes, making sure to label them clearly with the type
of plant, where they were found, and the date they were
collected. Then put the envelopes in your airtight box along
with a couple of sachets of silica gel. Store in a cool, dark
place such as a drawer. The worst places to store seed
are damp greenhouses or garden sheds. The following
spring, sow as usual.
how to do it
Measure the roof and cut the plastic liner to fit it, then
place it over the roof and secure with tacks. Cut the
matting to fit the roof and then repeat so you have two
identical pieces. Lay both pieces on top of the liner so you
have a double layer (this helps keep the roots moist). Then
divide the timber baton into four pieces, one for each
slope of the roof. Cut one end of each piece to 45 degrees
so they fit neatly at the apex of the roof. Drill some pilot
holes into the timber and then screw them into the roof.
Next cut the sedum matting to size and lay it on top of the
roof. After an initial watering it shouldn’t be necessary to
water it again unless you have a prolonged dry spell. Place
it in a sunny spot.
If greening your shed roof seems a little
daunting, why not give your bird table a
green makeover instead? It’ll make it more
interesting, and when the sedum is in bloom,
the bees will come flocking too.

The best are raised off the ground to deter rats and
mice nesting underneath. Whether you go for plastic
or wood, prices will be around the same. Avoid houses
with felt roofs since they can harbour red mite, a nasty
parasite. A plastic one is easy to clean and maintain.
Simply hose the whole thing down and it will dry
quickly. Its bright colours and distinctive styling also
gives it a distinctly 21st century look. A wooden house
blends in a little better in a garden, but will take a lot
longer to dry.

5 top city cluckers
Choose from some of these pint-sized layers, all happy
to live in the city. Remember when cooking, you’ll
need three bantam eggs for every two standard eggs.
Buff Orpington bantam
Docile and maternal, this pure-breed is extremely
friendly and cuddly looking. Its thick feathers make
it very hardy in the cold. It lays large, tinted eggs.
Sussex bantam
Plump, hardy and friendly, this pure-breed bird has
a distinctive black and white colouring. It lays lovely
tinted eggs. It loves a treat and has a curious nature
so will make a good gardening companion as well as
a good pet for children.
Pekin (known as cochin bantams in the US)
A perfect beginner-bird, this gentle pure-breed has

feathery feet and short legs and only comes in bantam
size. Its feathery feet mean it doesn’t like scratching
through flowerbeds so your vegetables may be safer,
but its feathers can become caked with mud when
damp. It lays lovely small brown eggs though expect
productivity to drop off after the first year.
Wyandotte bantam
These perky-looking birds from the USA have broad
breasts and a distinctive curvy shape. A pure-breed,
birds are docile and some have very pretty feather
patterns. Good layers.
Rhode Island Red bantam
Perhaps the most popular hen in the world, this US
breed is the classic traditional-looking red hen and lays
lots of large traditional-looking brown eggs. A quiet,
alert bird with an endearing nature: it loves foraging
and eating slugs.
In a small city garden you have two options. The first
is to buy a henhouse with an attached run that is small
and light enough to move to a new spot in the garden
every week to let the grass recover. An Eglu, henhouse
on wheels, or a traditional wooden ark is ideal for this
(see Resources, page 168–169).
The alternative is to buy a raised henhouse within
a head-height run and put it in a permanent position.
This is ideal since it is easy to clean and the hens have
lots of space and different levels to explore. If this is
too expensive, you can also build a large full-time run
at the end of the garden and put the henhouse inside
it.
Whatever set-up you go for, make sure the run
is big enough for each hen to have at least 1 square
metre to run around in, and preferably a lot more.
free-range hens: a henhouse and run you
can move
Pros No DIY needed.
Cons Your grass will take a beating, you’ll have to
remember to move it and this is usually a two-person
operation. Not so much space for the hens to roam
unless you let them out now and then. Most city lawns
are small so there might not be enough time for each
patch of grass to recover.
home-run hens: a static run
Pros Runs can give hens more room and are easier to
clean too. If you build it yourself, the run will only cost
the price of some wooden posts and weld wire. Your
lawn will stay undamaged unless you let them out. You
can store their food in a secure dustbin inside the run
so won’t have to carry it down the garden.
Cons The larger the run, the more expensive it is.
Building your own run can be challenging if you are
not a DIY enthusiast. The floor of the run will get
muddy fast although bark chippings can easily be laid
on the floor to absorb it.
how do I build a run?
Make the run out of 6-foot wooden posts with weld
mesh for the walls and roof. Bring the base of the
netting out into an apron where it meets the ground
and secure this with paving slabs or turf to stop
foxes getting in. If you don’t want to build a run, try
customizing a fruit cage. Just replace the netting with
weld mesh. An internet search will turn up plenty of
tutorials on how to build a hen run (see Resources,
page 168–170, for suggestions).

On drying
INtroductIoN
Something happens when you slowly dry fruit under
the gentlest of heat. The very essence of the fruit is
emboldened, sometimes it becomes a better version
of itself – sliced strawberries have so much more,
well strawberriness when dried – or sometimes it
becomes something else – a pear dried is chewy,
sweet and almost fudge like in texture. Thus, the
idea of drying is not to desiccate the produce into
something hard and parched, but to slowly release
the water to leave behind a fruit that in midwinter
is a treat rather than a chore to eat. Drying, as it
name suggests, works by reducing the amount of
water in cells. The natural water content of a plant
(that you might want to eat) is somewhere around
90–95%. When that number is reduced by 5–35%
the fruit is considered dried. At this state, many of
the spoilage microbes can no longer survive and hey
presto, it’s preserved. Most dried fruit last up to a
year, but start to taste a little stale after that.
Although it is possible to dry all manner of things
from the garden, the truth is this is a process best
used for fruit and perhaps seeds. Vegetables tend to
lose their flavour when dried, and a great deal of
their vitamin content – the exceptions being
tomatoes and chillies – where as fruit when dried,
partly because of the natural acids, tend to hold on
to their vitamins. That is if you dry correctly. Drying
should be a slow process under very gently heat to
conserve all that is good. Even a hot radiator can to
be too quick and extreme.
In a hot country you can utilise nothing more
than the sun either by drying directly outside,
traditionally using hot sands to bury the food, or
using a solar dehydrator. In the wet, cold north we
need to use heat, be it hung above a warm radiator,
above the wood burning stove, in a conventional
oven or using an electric dehydrator. The latter is
my favourite as it’s efficient, being very low wattage,
and allows for a very low heat setting. It also lets
me dry large amounts in one go. It’s clearly not free,

‘One of the bright young things
in gardening.’ Daily Telegraph
Shred your cabbage, either using a mandolin or by
finely slicing, discarding the very woody central
core. You are aiming for 1mm-thick slices. Mine
rarely are that thin, but it’s nice to have something
to aim for.
In a large bowl (you want a wide surface area),
place the cabbage and pound with a pestle/ rolling
pin until the cabbage begins to glisten. This needs to
be more vigorous and lengthy if your cabbage is old
or you have any larger pieces hanging about. The
glistening is the cabbage releasing its juices a little.
Once this happens, sprinkle over 1 scant tablespoon
of salt and cover with a damp tea-towel and leave
overnight. I was taught that this draws out more
liquid whilst exposing the kraut to good bacteria
and yeasts (it’s the yeast that helps to create the fine
aroma of a good kraut) in the air. Who knows, but
something magic happens though.
The next morning, start packing the cabbage into
the pickling jar or crock. You need to really press
down as any loose layer should halve in volume.
Every 10cm or so, I add a teaspoon of sea salt. I use
a pestle (or a potato masher) to pack the cabbage
down. You should, after several layers, start to see
lots of juice appearing. Eventually you want to get to
a point where the juice covers the cabbage and
there are no air bubbles. For a small-sized cabbage
I will use no more than 3 scant (not heaped)
teaspoons of salt in packing. The general rule is for
10lb shredded cabbage you will need 6 tablespoons
salt. This ratio will turn the sugars in the cabbage to
lactic acid.
I don’t like overly saltly kraut, but you may. Here
lies the dark art, it takes practice to make your
perfect kraut. You may not get there first time. You
may need slightly more salt in warmer conditions
than colder. Some people add a final layer of salt to
the top, but if your juicea are flowing, I think this is
unnecessary and just makes for a very salty top
layer.
If your kraut dries out the top layers will become
exposed to more aerobic conditions and start to
spoil. The trick is to top up with brine (14g salt to
600ml water). You may have to heat it to get all the
salt to dissolve. You may need to weigh down your
cabbage so that it sits under the brine. This is
extremely important as if it is exposed to air your
kraut will rot. There are many creative options:
glass of water on top of a small plate, a food grade
plastic bag (aka a freezer bag) with water in it,
stoneware kraut weights or if you’re me, place a
whole cabbage leaf on top and weigh down with
large stones. I dug mine up from the allotment,
scrubbed them incredibly well with soap and boiled
for half an hour in water. If that sounds too
unhygienic then you can place the stones in a
freezer/ziplock bag. The idea here is to keep the
cabbage from being exposed to air. Once again,
wherever it is exposed to air it will rot.

The ideal pond
Water
Nectar and pollen plants
A typical design for a garden pond is round, or kidney shaped
with a deep area of 60–90cm for overwintering amphibians,
and graduating sides to create shallows. The provision of
shallows is probably the most important consideration, as
so many species – including frog tadpoles – are found only
here, living among submerged plants at the water’s edge.

2m with a maximum depth of 30cm will do admirably and
will emulate small natural ponds found in the wild. Shallow
ponds are more prone to drying out in dry weather however,
so you might consider going deeper if you live in an area
prone to drought.
For the best results, site your pond in a sunny spot. Not only
will this attract a greater range of insects, but it will be more
inviting to broody frogs, which prefer spawning in warmer
water. Avoid adding fish to your pond, as they can virtually
empty it of its tadpoles, nymphs and larvae (although they tend
to leave toad tadpoles alone as these are slightly poisonous).

DRYING HERBS
Gather little bunches or herbs such as sage, mint,
marjoram, thyme, bay, rosemary, lemon balm, fennel
and dill. Make sure they are good fresh herbs, free
from dirt and dust. Lightly tie each one into a bunch
with kitchen string and hang them up, well spaced
out, somewhere warm, dry and airy until they are
brittle and dry. Inspect them carefully to make sure
that they are all dry and then gently crumble them
onto a sheet of paper and tip them into scrupulously
clean and dry jam jars.
TEA BAGS
1. Measure out a rectangle 15cm x 10cm and make a
template. Iron the muslin fabric and then cut around
this lots of times to make the little pouches. Fold over
a 1cm hem, with the thread or fine string tucked
inside it, along one of the long sides, with the thread
sticking out at each end. Iron it in place.

the top of each sachet. Then fold them in half, all
wrong sides together with the hem at the top and
sew around the two remaining sides, starting just
under where the drawstrings emerge.
3. Turn the sachets right side around and tie the ends
of the threads together to form the drawstring.
Old-fashioned, charming and surely a marker
that Christmas is close, these colourful chains
make a great fireside activity in preparation to
the big day
4. Place the sachets into another jar, ready to
accompany the dried herbs. Add labels inside
the jar on a little pretty piece of paper.
5. Fill the sachets with herbs to make teas or a savoury
selection to flavour stews and casseroles. Remove the
bag before you eat!
1. Cut a strip of wallpaper across the roll around 15cm wide.
If you are using double-sided tape, run a strip right the way
down the long edge of the paper, pressing it firmly in place.
BOUQUET GARNI
1. A little bundle of herbs and flavours you can make
them up and dry them as a bundle without a sachet
if you wish.
2. Turn the paper sideways and then snip across it in
approximately 1.5 cm strips to make the links of your
chain. Repeat on several pieces of wallpaper for some
variation in the pattern.
2. Take a bay leaf and add a little sprig of each herb and
a curl of orange or lemon zest trimmed from the fruit
with a sharp potato peeler, and then tie the bundle in
place. String several up at a time to dry.
3. Peel away the sticky tape backing, or add a spot of glue at
the end of each chain and join the link. Place the next strip
through the centre and repeat the process until a pretty
chain begins to form.

You can trim off any edges that are not quite the same

you do. Join all the strips to make one large panel.

6. For the curtain fixing attach the hooks into the frame of
the window where the curtain is to hang and stretch the

Do you know the difference between acetic and ascetic? Burgers
and burghers? Bucolic and alcoholic? Complacent, complaisant
and compliant? A cassock, a Cossack, a hassock, a tussock, a
hillock, a hummock and a pillock? If not, Fritz Spiegl’s
Contradictionary is the book for you. With entries varying from
pithy brevity to mini essays, this quirky but well-informed
textbook will be essential reading for anyone who has ever been
caught using the wrong word in the wrong place. Readers, writers
and students of media studies will find answers to frequently asked
questions – and a number of questions it had never occurred to
them to ask.
Fritz Spiegl was a native German speaker who came to England as
a child. In the intervening 60 years, he never lost his fascination
with the eccentricities of the English language and the abuses to
which it is often subject. His books have sold over 2 million copies.

the word orinally came from a mediaeval

the wooden fairground horse). A carousal is

The only walking guides with ‘bird’s eye
view’ (isometric) mapping, which allows
you to find your way not just by flat
street plan, but by the appearance of
the buildings around you.
Exploring cities with the On Foot Guides
is like being taken around by a friend who
knows the best restaurants, shops and
attractions - the authors are local residents
who know their cities backwards. Each
book introduces the city district by district,
with a wealth of insider knowledge. The
artwork is unique and the walks are easy
to follow, informative and fun. Most take
an hour, and many can be interlinked to
create longer sightseeing expeditions.
