Hearty and warming, this prawn and tomato stew with fregola is a comforting bowl, with the fresh pesto brightening every bite. It pairs beautifully with a crisp, fragrant, quick-pickled vegetable salad; the freshness cuts through the richness of the stew perfectly. I’ve always loved leafy, lively salads, and I could honestly eat one with every …
Risotto alla milanese is, like the city it calls home, elegantly simple, but very rich. The saffron that gives the dish its striking colour is rightly expensive (it takes about 150 flowers to produce a mere gram), but you don’t need much and, though it’s often served alongside osso buco, I think it makes a …
Egg foo yung is a type of omelette that perhaps began life as a type of egg dish in Guangdong province, but has since the early 1900s been a staple on American and British Chinese takeaway menus. I like to order it at Yau’s in Broughton near Scunthorpe or Chi’s in Kenton in Devon, where …
This was one of the first cocktails on the menu when we opened Fatt Pundit back in 2019. It pays homage to the many street-side carts that sell fresh mango in a spice mix of salt, pepper and red chillies – it’s sweet, spicy and savoury, as well as unique and delicious. Mango Sichuan rush …

I adore a good loaf cake. There’s something about them that’s just inherently cosy and wholesome, and this one in particular is perfect for the colder months, not least because it’s simple and sturdy in the very best way. It’d be right at home with a coffee for breakfast, as well as gently warmed in …
Efteling is a fairytale-themed, 73-year-old amusement park in the south of the Netherlands that, after two consecutive years of visits, has become an acute obsession among my family. We love the vaguely folk-horror animatronic trees, witches and giant sea monsters lurking within a labyrinthine real forest. We love the anthropomorphised talking bins that plead (in …
Sorry to Grandma’s homemade stuffing, but this light, buttery, and flaky croissant stuffing is my new obsession. Different from a traditional stuffing that uses hearty breads like French bread, white bread, or cornbread, I opted for a daintier/delicate carb in this recipe, which, surprisingly enough, holds up well in a loaded casserole. Trust me, this …
