Twice as Nice Curry

Ever thought curry is nicer the day after? I went into my laboratory and came up with this modification of a simple curry recipe that has the cooked-in qulaities of a day-after curry. The secret? Finish the cooking in the oven...

Proper American Pancakes

DON'T, from some misguided egalitarian impulse, wrap them in a cloth or put them in a warm oven until you've cooked the lot, as they'll go flaccid and lose a great deal of their charm. Pancakes are an action breakfast

Lemon, Almond & Gin Tart

As promised.  Easy if somewhat time consuming so I make the pastry one night, then filling & baking the next, so it's ready the day before you want it.  I've set the recipe up for this.  This gives you time to trickle the gin syrup in and let it soak.  Use any left over juice/zest in another part of the recipe.  I found this in a magazine years ago at a mate's house - sorry I have no idea who owns the copyright!

Heaven's own pud.

Witte Rijst met Krenten

This recipe may well make you believe that Dutch cuisine deserves the reputation that British cuisine has, but if you, like me, love rice and, like me, love currants, and, like me, have a sweet tooth, you might think this is the best dish in the world.

The other day I had eaten a big bowl of soup earlier on and neither fancied eating a complete meal, nor going out to the shops to buy a snack. Looking in our cupboards, I noticed all the ready-made snacks had already disappeared in our stomachs. My wife, who as always shared my predicament, decided to just boil some rice and snack on that. I would have gone along with that, had it not reminded me of one of the greatest dishes I had as a child.

Chocolate & Prune Cake Revised

I'm not a chocoholic but I adore a piece of seriously dark chocolate (+/-cake) with coffee in the morning.  I search continually for the ultimate chocolate cake to feed my pals at dinner. Moro do a cardamom one which you love or hate.  So in my new Ursula Ferrigno book I found Ursula's search echos my own.  And this could be it - tried and tested on Sat night to a 100% yum rating.  Don't be put off by the prunes - by the time you've brandied them they are a far call from English hotel breakfast prunes (which I actually love!)

Banana, date & walnut cake

Due respect to Nigella for this. Glut of overripe bananas, Domestic Goddessery and the usual lack of the right ingredients lead me to this one day. I'm sure her original is at least as yummy. I used to say I don't like banana cake....
