Scallops and squid with butternut squash and squid ink sauce
Locally caught fish, all gleaming and gorgeous - and the exact opposite to the tired dull-eyed fare you normally see in the local supermarkets.
Recipes
Nasi Lemak
The heart of Nasi Lemak is the rice, made fragrant by pandan leaves and lemongrass, cooked in coconut milk to make it luxurious and flavourful.
Provençale Vegetable Soup (Soup au pistou)
My dream is that I celebrate the wealth of vegetables from my own garden through the year with an endless parade of delicious dishes designed to put them to best use.
Chicken ballotine with morels, polenta cake and glazed carrots
Fresh morels come along at this time of year, and I feel it’s been a year wasted if I don’t get to use them just once.
Vichyssoise Soup
Hot summer days mean that chilled soups become possible - they’re simply not to be contemplated at any other time.
Lavender and Elderflower Cake
The lavender and the elderflower complement each other beautifully, and you can’t get a combination that’s better going to evoke the joy of early summer.
Hummus
Hummus is one of my absolute favourite things to eat in the whole world. I can’t quite explain how it came to occupy such a favoured place in my affections.
Risotto Primavera
I’ve made a big deal this year of the fresh asparagus I’ve been enjoying from my own garden. It’s the first year I’ve been able to pick it, the bed having been planted a couple of years ago.
Chicken wrapped in pandan leaf
Did you ever have that thing where you discovered something new - and then discovered that everybody else already knew about it?
Vegetable samosas
I love Indian food. Not only is it amongst the most flavourful, varied and exciting food you can get, it comes from a food culture that has a lot of pluses on the sustainability front.
