Fry the onion for a couple of minutes until it begins to soften, then add the garlic. Continue to fry until the onion has cooked, but be careful not to let it colour. 4 This is the last step and should be done when your guests are already sitting at the table. Add the fish, shellfish and watercress to the pot and cook, covered, for 2–3 minutes until the mussels and clams have opened and the fish has turned opaque. 3 Add the potatoes and pesto and stir to combine.

You will also need a 30cm length of kitchen string or a few wooden cocktail sticks. 2 Rub the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in the bottom of a large flameproof casserole and, using tongs to help you, brown the chicken on all sides. As my mother would say, resist the urge to keep moving the chicken. Allow each side to brown before turning to another. 5 Ladle into bowls and serve immediately. Don’t let that fish overcook! 3 Turn down the heat.

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 for richness. A perfect party nibble, these can be formed in advance and then stored in the fridge and fried just before serving.

Place a banana leaf on your work surface with a wide side near you. Alternatively, cut 4 sheets each of baking paper and foil about 30cm square and place a banana leaf or sheet of paper on your work surface. Smear one-eighth of the chilli mixture on the centre of the leaf or sheet and place one of the halibut pieces, nicest side up, in the centre of the leaf or paper with the widest side parallel to the wide side of the wrapper. Season with salt and pepper and smear with another eighth of the chilli mixture. Bring the near side of the wrapper over the fish, then fold the far side over 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. 3 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, folded side down if wrapped in banana leaves, and open them at the table with sharp scissors. Serve with the lime wedges on the side. m i n g .

Place a scant tablespoon of the filling in the centre of the wrapper, moisten the edges with the egg wash and fold the bottom half over the top to create a triangular dumpling. Bring the left and right sides under the dumpling, moisten the points with the egg wash and pinch together to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling. 2 Transfer to a platter, drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon honey, sprinkle with the remaining chives and serve. To Drink: 5 your mobile device. 1 In a medium bowl, combine the crabmeat, 1 tablespoon of the honey, the jicama, 2 tablespoons of the chives and the cream cheese. Season with salt and pepper and blend. 4 If using banana leaves, heat the sauté pan over a medium heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and swirl to coat the pan. When the oil is hot, add the fish, nicer side down, and sauté for about 1 minute until the leaf browns slightly. If using paper and foil, skip this step and transfer the parcels to the pan. Transfer to the oven and bake for 8–10 minutes until the fish is just cooked through. Test by inserting the tip of a paring knife into the fish for 3 seconds; if it emerges hot, the fish is done. Alternatively, a thermometer inserted into the fish will read 55°C. 4 video tutorial of Ming teaching you how to prepare the dish.

When the oil is hot, add the jalapeños, ginger and onions and sauté, stirring, for about 4 minutes until the onions are soft. Add the paprika, stir and add the fish sauce. Remove the pan from the heat and add the lime juice. Toss, season with salt and pepper and transfer to a medium bowl. If using banana leaves, wipe out the sauté pan and set aside.

James Beard Award-winning chef 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. Ming Tsai has produced and hosted Simply Ming on public television for the past 7 years.

However cold, morning or night, it is delicious – comfort in a bowl. I make mine as my mum did with just enough honey or maple syrup to sweeten the dish and bring out the flavour of the fruit. The subtle notes of 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.

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.

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. ‘A unique and beautiful book from an exceptional person – I can’t wait to try the recipes!’ Fiona Cairns 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.

In this comprehensive new book, Ghillie James Publication date June not only explores all the grains – their provenance, nutritional Rights World benefit, how best to cook them – but also showcases 120 international recipes that celebrate them. Start the day with a Breakfast Bircher, take Nori-wrapped Sushi Bundles to work for lunch, bake some Moroccan Barley Bread at the weekend, create a feast of Hyderabadi Vegetable Biryani for friends, knock up a Wheat berry, Red onion, Rocket and Chorizo Salad for a quick midweek supper or indulge in a Stovetop Chocolate Rice Pudding. Everyone should be eating more of these healthy grains rather than relying on staples like pasta and this book is here to inspire and excite. I use this recipe as my turn to for veggie visitors. It’s equally good for a weekend lunch or as an accompaniment to a barbecue or slow roast lamb. If you cool the shells and lling and then stuff them and top them, they can stay in the fridge for a good few hours before baking. Buy wheat and rye berries from good health food shops. Wheatberries are sometimes referred to as winter wheat RICE & GRAINS Format 250 x 210mm Rosemary-roasted butternut, courgette, amaranth and barley couscous salad with soy balsamic dressing Italian style stuffed aubergines Ghillie First, put the wheatberries into a saucepan, cover with boiling water and boil for 55 minutes, topping up with water as needed. Meanwhile preheat the oven to 200/180/gas mark 6. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil I a deep frying pan and gently fry the onions. Whilst the onions begin to soften, run a very sharp knife around the edge of the aubergine shells, about ¾ cm in from the edge. Then cut almost through to the base I cross cross cuts and use a teaspoon to scoop out the esh. Roughly chop the esh and stir into the onions, season and cook for about 10 minutes over a medium heat until the aubergine looks half cooked. Add the garlic for the nal couple of minutes. Brush the aubergine shells with 1 – 1 ½ tbsp olive oil and season. Then place on a baking tray and bake for 20 minutes, then remove and leave to cool. Add the tomato puree to the aubergine and stir for a minute before adding the chopped tomatoes and anchovies or capers. Season and add 5 tbsp water before covering and simmering gently for 10 minutes. Stir in the drained wheatberries and basil, taste for seasoning and cool (you can stuff the shells and bake immediately in which case take 10 minutes from the baking time).

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. -----------------Alternative to amaranth: quinoa or extra 50g couscous.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Kyle Cathie Limited www.kylecathie.com UK PB JKT QC Preflight Point 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.

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 Yoga can help you tone up, lose weight, keep you limber in old age, improve your sport, help you sleep better, give age thirteen uPwards: body confidence and grounding skin.

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 talking to me about being bullied at school or not having any friends. I don’t offer counselling but they often feel better by being listened to and I remind them that in yoga we’re all friends and everyone is doing really well. crow side stretch 8 exhale 3 inhale it’s challenging, fast-moVing meditation in motion shoulder stand 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, half handstand if you only have ten minutes Age seven and under: MAGIC PoT Sit with your legs wide and imagine that on the floor in front of you is a big magic pot. Reach up to the sky and take a magic 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.

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. c l e a n & l e a n wa r r i o r c l e a n & l e a n wa r r i o r c l e a n & l e a n wa r r i o r 143 81 men, is packed with: time to work out – Maximum-impact, targeted exercises, with step-by-step I want you to succeed and get as much benefit as possible from all the movement programmes that follow.

He is the strongest human being I have ever encountered and is one of the best examples of what the human body is capable of.

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. Completely revised edition of the original bestselling book with: – new cover and design throughout – entirely new recipes and recipe photography 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.

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. 24 you will need A dry day in late summer/early autumn who want the convenience of the city combined with the benefits of the country.

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). who has grown her own fruit, salad, herbs and vegetables for over ten years. She studied at the Chelsea Physic Garden and for the past six years her columns in the Sunday Telegraph have entertained readers with her experiences of turning her garden into an edible Eden. Alex’s previous book The Edible Balcony (Kyle Books) shows readers how to cram their outdoor nooks and ledges with homegrown fruit and vegetables. the RURBANITE GA R DE N I NG 85 abundance Alys Fowler 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.

And I am not blessed with extra hours for cooking, thought I often steal them when I shouldn’t. And while I’m here I hate hovering and have never made a cupcake. I am not the picture perfect wife and neither are my preserves. I’ll stand that yours don’t need to be either. This food – my jars of kimchi and kraut, the odd pickles at the back of the fridge – are a short cut to a better meal. Kimchi with egg-fried rice or those cheap packet ramen noodles is not fine cuisine, but it sups and fills you up in a wholesome enough way, using preserves but without making you feel impoverished. It is both a fulfilling and filling way to eat. There is much pleasure in preparing this food as there is in eating it. The kitchen is often a good therapist, but beyond that, does any of this seasonal, low-energy straight from the backgarden eating matter? Of course I want it to desperately as it is one of the ways I make sense of my world. I want it to be truly significant, but there is a niggingly bit of me that thinks that the tide is coming in too fast and that change will not be rapid enough. All that growing vegetables can be a way to keep me centred, a balm to sooth my anxiety about this world. As we rush forth our world is ever faster, yet more connected, I know I am not alone in wondering whether this is quite the hole I wish us Fresh produce are a joy: crunchy cucumbers, sunwarmed tomatoes, juicy berries – their flavours are immediate – but a winter of those summer flavours preserved, now that’s a feeling of satisfaction.

Alys takes you through all the different ways Sauerkraut of preserving – from bottling, drying and fermenting to There are many different ways to make kraut, but they all hold to the same principle of salt and cabbage juice to get the lacto-fermentation started. This is my tried and tested method and it has never failed me. The overnight step is unusual but, as I get consistent results, I am not going to question it. freezing, pickling and using sugar. But you don’t have You wIll Need White or red cabbage it needs to be firm and tightly packed cabbage, spring cabbage are hard to ferment to have a big garden and a problem with gluts of fruit Sea salt never table salt A large food grade container large glass storage jar is my favourite, stoneware pot, food grade plastic container Weights glass of water, small plate, stoneware weights, large stones, freezer bags with water in them Pestle or potato masher Knife or mandolin Tea-towel or vegetables; Alys focuses on making small amounts of delicious preserves so you can enjoy your garden produce every day of the year. This book is a must for anyone that wants to store and preserve their garden bounty. ‘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 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.

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).

Kate Bradbury explains the basic Kate Bradbury is a well-known how to make a bird box More than 60 bird species are known to use nest boxes, with blue tits being the most likely, followed by great tits and coal tits, nuthatches, house sparrows, starlings, robins and house martins. Not only do boxes provide shelter in the breeding theory of wildlife gardening, exploring why we should garden season, but birds may also use them to shelter from the cold in winter. Swifts, house martins, house sparrows and starlings are all in decline, so provision of nest boxes for them could make a huge difference to local populations. It’s important to choose the right spot for your box, as for biodiversity and the many benefits it has for us gardeners as 1 sunlight, a prevailing wind, or where there’s a lot of other bird activity (for example, if the box is too near a feeding station). 150 x 180 mm It’s generally advised to place the box in a north-easterly well as for birds, animals and insects. the wind you don’t need to stick to the north-easterly rule.
