This chilli sauce is big — big flavour, big kick, big reward. The name, however, derives from the fact that the recipe was given to me by my brother-in-law, Jim, Jimbo to me, but often known teasingly as Jumbo due to his compact size. I cannot have enough of this. I love it with prawns, with cold chicken, with chips, with everything. For US cup measures, use the toggle at the top of the ingredients list.
There are two things you should try over the next week or so, and that includes these stuffed cabbage rolls and running with your phone and keys in one hand and the leash to a two year old (aka very energetic) husky in the other hand. Just kidding, don't try the latter! I tried this balanci

Some food lovers collect spices, while others collect vintage cake stands. For me, I collect recipes for flatbreads and I love them. Lefse, in particular, is a flatbread I’ve been eyeing for some time now. Made from leftover mashed potatoes, lefse makes a thin and soft flatbread that’s more substantial than a crêpe but more delicate and chewy than a flour tortilla.
This recipe's tamagoyaki-inspired soft scrambled eggs taste like tamago nigiri, but are faster and easier to make. Serve over rice for an easy, delicious meal.
I grew up eating these either in a hard crusty roll or with just boiled parsley potatoes. Being Portuguese we call this Cacoila.
Gnudi is a classic Tuscan recipe, simple and delicious! The particularity of these Italian dumpling is the smoothness of the dough and the intense flavor thanks to the spinach Ricotta, and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Commonly, Gnudi are tossed with butter and sage and often paired with a simple, fresh tomato sauce. Try them on and let me know: they’re an authentic bite of Tuscany!
I adapted this from a recipe I found in an old Nigel Slater cookery book called Real Food. I have adapted it to feed as many and as few as you require.
Crunchy on the outside and savory aromatic meat filling on the inside. This Middle Eastern Sambousek is BURSTING with flavor!
A proper chicken shawarma — the spiced meat cooked on a spit, then stuffed with pickles, sauces, tomato and other salads into a flat bread wrap — is truly right up top on the God Tier of sandwiches. This, my improper version, is another proposition, but headily delicious in its own right. I marinate the chicken with lemon, garlic, oil and all the right spices but, for an easy meal at home, I cook it in the oven. I do serve it with pitta or other flatbreads, along with a divine sauce made simply by mixing together yogurt, tahini and more garlic, adding a sprinkle of pomegranate seeds if I have some. As you can see, I serve the chicken on a mound of shredded iceberg, and you could easily put a bowl of sliced tomatoes out on the table too and, if it took your fancy, another of pink-pickled onions (you can see the method for this in step 1 of the fish finger bhorta. Of course, you are free to add anything you may want alongside — you can never have too many pickles, in my book! — but whatever you do, provide plenty of napkins, and allow everyone to roll up or stuff their pittas as they wish. It’s the perfect indoor picnic! For US cup measures, use the toggle at the top of the ingredients list.
This delicious curry is perfect for a big piece of pork neck you might have left over after making pulled pork or any other piece of good meat will do!
Caledonian Cream is yet another delicious Scottish dessert combining classic Scottish ingredients like whisky liqueur and bitter marmalade with cream, lemon or orange juice and a bit of sugar for sweetness! It's easy to make and can be served on its own, with fruit, shortbread, as part of a trifle, or on top of Christmas Pudding. It can be served immediately or left to chill in the fridge to bring out the flavours further.
There's no other thing that everybody loves so unanimously, and if you think that we mean cats, you are probably right, but not this time.
