I’m reading Nigel Slater’s very lovely Notes from the Larder – a year-long kitchen diary in which he describes what he buys and grows and cooks over the course of a year.
Cooking seasonally in the American north-east at this time of year is basically a festival of root vegetables – beets, potatoes, celeriac, sweet potato, butternut squash – and the book has been excellent source of inspiration. Thanks, Nige.
For Saturday night’s Burns dinner at Peter’s, I had made oatcakes with whisky-cured salmon, of which there was a small wedge left over, so for dinner last night I subbed it in for the gravlax in Slater’s recipe for beetroot fritters. BANG. ON. »

Right out of Baby’s First Baking Book – incredibly simple to prepare. But also very moist and tasty, and the best possible way of using up old bananas. I adapted from this Nigella recipe (#TeamNigella). This is more cakey than bready, honestly, but it’s good to call it ‘bread’ for the sake of pretending that it’s ‘healthy’. »

This has many variations, depending on what’s to hand. But I am definitely a fan of adding a bit of red wine vinegar at the end to get some of that sourness that cuts down on the flubby fartiness of the Brussels. »

The wonderful Nigel Slater tweeted this tiny recipe the other night, and I augmented it very slightly. It’s still impossibly simple, quick and hearty. Serves two. »

In honour of James Gandolfini, we decided to have an Italian-themed dinner at home with some friends. To be honest, I’ve never really been a big fan of cannoli; it’s usually pre-prepared and soggy and overly sweet, filled with whipped cream rather than the traditional ricotta. But our menu included bread AND pasta AND mashed potato (and salami and beautiful veal scallopine and spinach), so I didn’t want to make a massive overwhelming dessert, lest I kill people. Cannoli, which is definitely super-Italian, seemed like a good thing to try. »

I roughly copied this recipe onto the back of an envelope – I think it might have come from Gourmet Traveller. It’s worth poaching more quinces than you need so you can have some on hand to make this cake in a hurry. »

A wonderfully warming wintery soup with a bit of kick. Highly excellent with some crusty bread and an open fire. From Hugh Fearnley-Whitingstall’s very ace River Cottage Veg Every Day. »

This is adapted from the Tartine recipe for Cheddar Cheese Crackers, altered to amp up their American-ness for a Thanksgiving dinner. I wanted to use Jack for its orange colour, so if you can’t get Jack, substitute something red and cheddar-like in consistency. »

Good stuff from @charlotteshucks about using the freezer well.

The late Leslie Harpold's foolproof? Thanksgiving instruction manual. Interesting in an anthropological sense, and also Christmas is a BIT like Thanksgiving I guess.
How to Shuck an Oyster is writer Charlotte Wood's blog about food. I made the labneh recipe not so long ago and it's terrific. I'm going to make her spring cous-cous recipe this weekend.
