    Yep it's Hopkinson and that recipe is the dogs dangly bits

    And the funny thing is, I got it in my head that it was Leicestershire cheese so that's what I've always used :rotfl:

    Did you watch the latest Nigel Slater Series? That man loves his food and he really lets you know how good it is. I was drooling at his Turkish one ( I love Turkish cuisine, best in the world)
    No - but I have it recorded. :)

    Turkish food is one of my favourites too.
    I bought Rick Stein's Venice to Istanbul for Christmas.
    As well as the Hairy Bikers Curries - which (IIRC) you recommended to me years ago :kisses3: and I'd been looking for in a charity shop but eventually picked up in The Works.

    Both Simon and Nigel are food writers - which may (or may not) explain their down-to-earthedness. :)

    I have a confession to make, I'm going off Rick Stein, he's coming across as either boozed up of hungover Well that's what I felt watching the Mexican series

    Hope you like the Hairy Bikers book as much as I do. It's simple and whilst I guess it's not as authentic as perhaps Madha Jeffrey, the food is delicious

    I watch him more often on Saturday Kitchen archives (sometimes still with Chalky the terrier :eek:). along with Keith Floyd who is occasionally shockingly youthful :eek: but always entertaining).
    I think I may have the Mexican series recorded.

    I didn't like his 'long weekend' series much.
    And although I loved James Martin's French Adventures, I voted with my feet (after the first episode) of his American Adventures,

    Were off to Cadiz in 3 weeks based on long weekends, but not just because of Rick Stein, it looks like a perfect mix of history, good wine (sherry) and seafood ;)

    Just scoffed a bowl of cauliflower cheese (semi vegan cheese sauce made with yeast flakes, water, flour and mustard, but did use butter to make the roux, a little milk and a little cheese on top - but nowhere near the qtys you would usually use) and had two buttered rice cakes with it.
    Enough left for a portion in the freezer and I've kept the cooking water and stalk / leaves to make soup (have some other leaves in the freezer too) with some kale and Gorgonzola. I treated myself to a hand blender in lidl today so that will be the first thing I make. Am always put off making soup with my jug blender and it's such a faff transferring it all into it, then having the jug and bits to clean out. Hoping the stick blender will be easier.
