And it’s a great way to show off some of the incredible wild bounty I found in Skipton, on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales in spring. There’s a wood there that is completely and utterly covered with wild garlic – or ramsons as it is called in the UK. A thick, vibrant looking...

In praise of the simple green salad, one of my favourite side dishes. Squeeze over a little lemon juice, season with salt and pepper and you’re done. And that colour. The post A simple green salad appeared first on Delicious from scratch ..read more

It’s my favourite way to eat this glorious vegetable. I usually use a mixture of chickpea flour and cornflour in the batter and you have a pretty free hand with the spices. Cumin, coriander, chilli powder, turmeric, smoked paprika and garlic are delicious (especially when combined). Deep-fry at 180℃. All kinds of vegetable yum.

Homemade oven chips are healthy, quick and super easy. Cut them however you fancy, toss in a little oil and sprinkle over your favourite seasonings. Arrange in a single layer on a very hot baking tray and roast on high for about 30 minutes, turning occasionally so the potatoes brown evenly. A very tasty evening...

Chargrilled artichoke hearts roasted until caramelised, with crispy sage leaves and fresh lemon. Serve as an easy vegetarian side dish or pile onto sourdough toast for a simple vegetarian appetizer. So much flavour! Artichokes are one of my favourite vegetables, but in the UK we usually only get sad-looking specimens. I was properly introduced to...

Fancy this with your dinner? Fresh tomatoes marinated in garlic, lime juice and coriander. I always salt my tomatoes before using fresh in a dish like this, it really brings out their flavours. Sprinkle with a little flaky sea salt and leave to drain. About 30 minutes should do it. The post Salt your tomatoes appeared first on Delicious from scratch ..read more

Have you ever tried making filo pastry? It’s not as hard as it sounds. Completely different to the sheets you buy a packet, it is tender and chewy, not papery or dry. Cool, flavourful and soft, but still thin and delicate, it is a revelation. I run it (very untraditionally) through a pasta machine to make... Read More The post Why you should make your own filo dough appeared first on Delicious from scratch ..read more
