Monday, 22 August 2011. Hough it up.*. Mmmm pig" - H.Simpson. Image borrowed from: http:/ warehouse.carlh.com/article 157). Sells them from free range pigs at just £2.50 each. To give you some idea the recipe below uses just two hocks and would easily yield 10 or so portions as a starter! Frugal food at its best. Cider Braised Ham Hock and Black Pudding Terrine. 1 ltr dry cider. 1 ltr apple juice. 1 bunch parsley (leaves chopped, reserve stalks). Sorry, couldn't resist. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Monday, 2 April 2012. Hand Dived Scallops with Satay, Crispy Cod Cheeks, Coriander and Pickled Ginger. I have used them at various hotels and restaurants for years and have never encountered any better than these guys. If you are interested in the sustainable nature of scallops or other sustainable fish or shellfish check out the following sites which are an invaluable tool for all fish lovers and available as an app or a downloadable pocket fish guide http:/ www.goodfishguide.co.uk/. Anyway enough of my...

Savarin: (Game) Seasons Greetings
http://savarinfood.blogspot.com/2011/11/game-seasons-greetings.html
Thursday, 24 November 2011. Avoiding the dreaded ‘C word’ around this time of year is getting harder and harder. Turkey recipes are popping up everywhere and we even did our first turkey dinner function at the hotel last week (its bloody November for crying out loud! The red cabbage recipe below is a version of one that we have used in the past in the restaurant, there it is cooked with the addition of a rich Jus and so ends up truly dark, sticky and shiny. While this is beautiful, I simply don’...

Savarin: July 2011
http://savarinfood.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, 31 July 2011. New menu fun/Shepherds Pie recipe. Talking is fun. Doing is way more fun. This week we have begun to put into practice the ideas and theories, putting physical form to them, figuring out the recipes and playing with presentation. We have now begun putting on some of the new dishes as weekend specials to give them a test drive. We are in an exciting period right now and I’m looking forward to next weekend and another new dish or two to play with. This is our take on a classic. Wh...

Savarin: The French Laundry Pop-up
http://savarinfood.blogspot.com/2011/10/french-laundry-pop-up.html
Saturday, 15 October 2011. The French Laundry Pop-up. List (along with El Bulli, Noma and The Fat Duck), awarded 3 coveted Michelin Stars and based in the Napa Valley in California it has always seemed out of reach to someone like me. That was until the announcement that Chef Keller would be bringing TFL over for a 10 day pop-up restaurant based in Harrods, fixtures, fittings, staff, crockery all included. The French Laundry - my view. A deconstructed 'chowder' follows featuring a delicately smoked sturg...

Savarin: April 2012
http://savarinfood.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 18 April 2012. Aubergine and Sweet Potato Curry. It will come as no surprise to anyone who has the most cursory of glances at our profile picture that we at Savarin are quite keen on meat and an overview of our blog entries will tell you that we love to cook fish, so what of the vegetarian dishes? If looking for vegetarian or Middle Eastern inspired recipes you can do a lot worse than start with Yotem Ottolenghi. And his excellent book Plenty. Book The Flavour Thesaurus. I make no claim to any...

Savarin: May 2012
http://savarinfood.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 29 May 2012. Great British Adventures in Meat Glue. I love The Great British Menu me. It is hands down the greatest cooking programme of the moment, attracting some of the best chefs in Britain cooking some of the best and most exciting food in Britain. It seems to generate more traffic on twitter than any other show or sporting event (though to be fair I do follow a lot of chefs) and showcases more talent than anything Simon Cowell has vomited onto our screens. So far so good then? Well no, not...

Savarin: Baking chocolate brownies with the family - everyday should be a brownie day ........
http://savarinfood.blogspot.com/2011/08/baking-chocolate-brownies-with-family.html
Tuesday, 16 August 2011. Baking chocolate brownies with the family - everyday should be a brownie day . I have yet to meet someone who doesn't eat those decadent little brownie treats but the blondies (White chocolate versions) in my opinion should be avoided at all costs white chocolate has too higher fat content to work effectively. Here is the recipe I use at home for the cocoa brownies - use it as a base or adapt your own brownie. As you will have probably guessed a brownie can be highly personal...
