Lidgate’s The Meat Cookbook by Danny Lidgate & Hattie Ellis

Written by brian. Posted in COOKBOOKS.

recipes for the grill

Lidgate’s The Meat Cookbook shares the same guidance given to their clients for years. It contains a selection of wonderful recipes for roasts, grilled meat, stews, meat pies and more, along with serving suggestions and step-by-step illustrations.

The slight variations in cuts between the UK and the US is not an obstacle when enjoying Lidgate’s recipes or the usefulness of this beautiful book.

When making burgers for a barbecue, it’s best not to use very lean mince as a decent fat content helps them to stick together. If lean mince is all you’ve got, though, add an egg to bind the mixture more firmly. Burgers made with good-quality mince can be left quite plain, but sometimes it’s nice to add extras. Around the corner from Lidgate’s, we’ve got some excellent Italian delis that give us inspiration for simple and tasty additions, 

Barbecues are all about fragrant flavours that work well with smoke and chargrilled food. Rosemary is a natural partner for lamb, and its resinous quality makes it even better for robust outdoor dishes. Use the needles in a marinade, and the woody stalks as skewers. 
We tend to use shoulder steaks for these kebabs, or new season neck fillet when the meat is still reasonably tender (up to midsummer in southern Britain, but late summer or early autumn in northern parts and Scotland, where lambs are born later). Leg can also be used 
if you want to ensure the meat is really tender.

Big Flavors from a Small Kitchen

Written by brian. Posted in COOKBOOKS.

BIG FlavorsFirst published in Great Britain in 2015 by Mitchell Beazley. Chris Honor is an Australian-born chef who has been hailed by Giles Coren of The Times as ‘a nailed-on culinary genius’, running ‘the most rewarding small local restaurant I have encountered in years’. His recipes for great salads, sweet and savory bakes, soups, and wonderful sharing plates are highly original, but really simple to create at home, and with American food writer Laura Washburn Hutton he shares 100 of his most memorable recipes.
Chris writes: ‘What this book will offer the reader is an education in balancing taste and texture, with plenty of visual inspiration. It is as much guidebook as cookery book because I don’t necessarily think in terms of recipes, I think in terms of combinations. Mix up the flavors and textures and, at the same time, make it appeal to the eye. Be generous; make it unpredictable; this is what I do. My book will teach the reader to do this too.’

"I love dried mango powder and am always looking for ways to incorporate it into my cooking. After some experimentation, I discovered that amchur (dried mango powder) and pork are like two best friends who haven’t quite met yet. But now that I’ve introduced them, they are inseparable, at least in my kitchen. Here they team up with pork’s traditional partner, apple, and a good whack of chile-ginger spice heat and
some balsamic for tang. A very successful encounter."

Soyfoods: do they offer nutritional benefits?

Written by brian. Posted in Gluten Free.

SoyFoodsDo they offer nutritional benefits? Can they cause health problems? Aren’t all soybeans genetically modified?

Tofu, a well-known but little-understood soyfood product, is the subject of such misconceptions, too. The truth is that tofu offers many health benefits: it’s low in saturated fat, cholesterol-free and is a good source of calcium. Tofu is also a high-quality complete protein that contains all 9 essential amino acids.

The cookbook chronicles Diana Henry on her year-long culinary journey towards lighter and healthier but no less delicious food.

What happened when one of today’s best-loved food writers had a change of appetite? Here are the dishes that Diana Henry created when she started to crave a different kind of diet—less meat and heavy food, more vegetable, fish, and grain-based dishes—often inspired by the food of the Middle East and Far East, and also drawing on cuisines from Georgia to Scandinavia.  These are dishes packed full of unusual flavors that are that just happen to be healthy.
