Jamie, I have 12 of your books and admire your cooking and TV progs. And you have children to care for – but if you really cared about spreading the word about nutrition and crap food your web site would be free? How many millions do you need?
VEGAN RECIPE FROM JAMIE
BREAD
Loaf made with sun dried tomatoes, garlic, herbs, olives.
MINT
I think all 23 mint varieties have survived the winter and I am going to start drying them and the thyme and sage varieties, and lemon verbena, lemon balm.
Also planing for pickles, relishes, chutneys, ketchups and sauces using tomatoes and the herbs in the garden.
STRAWBERRY JAM
I will start jam making soon. Jam strawberries are £6 for 2kg round here. Suggestions for varieties welcome. I was thinking strawberry and elderflower jam.
And then bring strawberries to the boil and let simmer – stir in sugar and lemon juice – then strain through muslin and add some Grand Marnier -“Traditional Country Preserving”.
I am also thinking of using lemon balm and various mints?
Most of my mints have survived the winter and are growing fast – I will see what I need to replace in a month or so – golden yellow verbena has yet to spark up! Dried mints will be done next month or so.
PASTA PARISH
I like to try new ideas – I have never seen this in a cookbook. I made pasta which I rolled into 12cm strips. Painted with olive oil, laid on filling of bacon, onion, garlic, cheese, herbs, black beans, tomato, and then rolled into sausages. Then really hot oven 5 minutes and then turn and paint with olive oil again and 5 more minutes. Crispy oven baked Parish’s with soft centres. Chuffed to bits!
