I work in a career that is all about celebrating the ‘new’: the coolest new restaurant, the best young chef, the hottest food trend, the latest way to plate. The irony, of course, is that despite these contemporary happenings, the olden days have never been hipper with the cool kids. That’s why they love cooking over wood, pickling stuff, growing beards like Ned Kelly and riding bicycles without gears. Just like they did before the 1871 advent of the first geared bike. In the olden days, eating out was fancy. The more egalitarian tone of post-revolutionary France meant that customers at the first restaurants of late-18th-century Paris craved the glamour once reserved for those now-guillotined aristocrats. They sought the opulence of velvet, huge gilded mirrors and glimmering chandeliers. It was not about knocking up $100 of marine ply, hanging long, red-flexed pendant light bulbs, ditching the tablecloths and getting away with it. Thankfully, our finest dining rooms, such as Rockpool Bar & Grill and Vue de Monde, understand the importance of an imposing dining room to match that imposing bill. We live in an age where scientists suggest doing away with ingredients and simply plating up the individual chemical compounds that make them up. Herve This, the French scientist who brought us the term ‘molecular gastronomy’, now pedals this idea of note-by-note cooking, while others promise us edible, 3D-printed fruit or a thickshake called soylent that covers all your dietary needs so you no longer have to eat. Call me old-fashioned, but I like food that looks like food rather than a semi-fluid gel. The lab-technology menu of foam, dusts and gels does seem to be dying out, so all praise be then to those great casual places serving real food like fried chicken, hearty salads and hunks of smoked meat that are killing it. And to those recipe books that encourage you to cook ‘real food’ at home. After the scientific infatuation of the noughties, the culinary skills of the olden days are being rediscovered, from fermenting, pickling and preserving to curing and smoking. They’re in every hip restaurant as proof that the olden days were better. Baking is another granny-esque obsession making waves, but what’s wrong with using age-old flavours like raspberry, chocolate or vanilla? Does the world really need another batch of shock-factor macarons in flavours like mushroom and pumpkin seed? Surely there is more joy in a strawberry cheesecake than a Vegemite one! In the olden days we ate rice pudding with raspberry jam to the sound of my father reading us the latest Dickens’ novel by the fire. In the ancient Arab world of the first rice puddings, rosewater and saffron would have been the most likely flavourings for the fruit compote it was served with. And yet that combo sounds like something from a trendy cookbook. Such is the way that we’ve embraced the best of the olden days.

CHOCOLATE MALVA PUDDING
Isn't this a thing of beauty? A truly ripe blackberry waiting to be picked in my neighbours garden across the street. The last time I had blackberries this good was when I was about 11 years old and went blackberrying with my friend, Helen, near the Twelve Pins Mountains in Galway, Ireland. We wandered through the hedgerows for hours covering ourselves with burs and bites and the juice from a thousand delicious blackberries. We then brought our bounty back to the caravan where we were staying and attempted to make jam...I say attempted because I don't think we knew what we were doing other than attracting huge amounts of wasps and annoying my poor Mother by covering everything in sight with blackberry stickiness....ah - those were wonderful days!! There is a great fondness for blackberries in the UK not only as something delicious to eat but also as an object to be replicated in charming illustrations and my friend Valerie Greeley certainly does know how to illustrate blackberries as evidenced by the beautiful images below. "Bunny and Blackberries" by Valerie Greeley "Dormouse and Blackberries" by Valerie Greeley "Jellies and British Puddings" by Valerie Greeley and on that note should we indulge in a dessert made with blackberries (although I have to be absolutely honest here and say if your blackberries are as good as my neighbours eat them plain as nothing on earth can improve them!)...but if you must perhaps you'd like to indulge in Bramble Shaker-Quaker....a simple little ditty, a Yorkshire speciality batter pudding with blackberries. After I had made it I realized it is just a puffy version of the divine French Cherry Clafouti...maybe we should call it Blackberry ClaPOUFi. So simple: Pre heat your oven to 375F 1. Heavily butter a shallow gratin type dish. I used 4 of the size above. 2. Scatter your berries as ye may...you will notice I added a couple of gorgeous cherries to mine because I happened to have them on hand. 3. Avail yourself of the following ingredients: 3 room temperature eggs separated 2oz / 1/4 cup sugar 2oz /1/3 cup flour 1 3/4 cups/14 fluid ounces whole milk 4. Beat egg yolks lightly with a fork. 5. Mix yolks with milk. 7. Mix flour and sugar together in a bowl. 8. Put liquid into a blender, add dry ingredients and whizz until smooth batter emerges. 9. Whisk egg whites to fluffy peaks. 10. Pour blender ingredients gently into whisked whites and blend timidly until well mixed...do not worry too much if there are some lumpy bits...better to not deflate than overmix. 11. Pour batter over blackberries and then spoon floaty egg whitey stuff over any holes where fruit is peaking through - see below. Now pop into your nice hot oven and bake for about 35 minutes until beautifully browned as below The recipe (from an old British Country Living magazine...my favourite magazine EVER) says to eat hot or warm...I actually preferred it cool for when it's hot it's HOT...those blackberries hold the heat!! You can put a dollop of cream or vanilla ice cream on there and I really don't think it would hurt!! And now for a bit of blackberry frivolity: Available at my CafePress store and a charming and very funny English video that involves said fruit.

Cool, refreshing, and deliciously light, the litchi rose panna cotta has some amazing textural play going on. The base, which is somewhat similar to custard, is velvety cream. The bits of sweet litchi bring in a lovely mouthfeel, and the whiff of rose adds deeper dimensions.

I’ve encountered quite a few versions of chocolate salame in Italy — coming to the conclusion that it’s really an Italian version of our chocolate refrigerator cake — and although I am not normally a huge fan of the culinary pun, Christmas does seem the right time of year for such whimsical enterprises. And, I admit, the chocolate salame does have a certain charm, especially when dusted with icing sugar, tied like a proper salame with string. (I am grateful here to Jacob Kenedy for his instructions on how to string up a finocchiona in the Bocca Cookbook.) If I can do the stringing up, then you can, honestly, but if you prefer, you can just dust the unstrung salame with icing sugar and leave it picturesquely on a board. And please read the Additional Information section at the end of the recipe before proceeding. For US cup measures, use the toggle at the top of the ingredients list.
