Potato & Pickle Salad

This is my version of my wife’s, Olive’s delicious potato salad. Wonderful fresh, earthy flavour of new season, Homeguards or Jersey Royals combined with delicately spiced vinaigrette, mayonnaise and crunchy, salty, vinegary pickles. Glorious! It’s best to leave the potato salad to cool overnight in the fridge and then, before serving leave the mix to come back to room temperature and rectify the seasoning.

Spatchcock Chicken

Masala Buttered Cabbage, Tomato Chilli Sauce

This is a really simple but totally tasty way to tickle your roast chicken. A little north Indian spiced sauce, spatch-cocked chicken, off-set by wonderfully clean tasting winter, buttered cabbage. The perfect quick comfort supper as you return in home from a cold winter’s day! Game birds or poussin are also excellent for this, but as chickens are a little easier to come by I thought it best to try with one of those first!

Mum’s Sausage Pie

Crisp potato topping & spice

Sausage pie still gets ‘pulled out the bag’ whenever we’re looking for a little comfort factor and nurturing from our meal. Indeed, during a power cut on one of Mum and Dad’s visits to Ireland, storm raging outside, we returned from a day’s trading at the Market like drowned rats, to a twinkling candlelit, sausage pie supper. Fantastic! I’ve added and twisted a few things up here…

Serves 4 to 6

Kurry Kids Lunchbox Frittata

Curried ‘Kolkata’ egg roll

This is a good, easy and slightly quirky way to make your make children the envy of the lunchtime dining room, whilst at the same time making a delicious nutritious meal. This recipe is written to make 2 rolls, but you could just make one big frittata disc and cut it into wedges. (For a more grown up version of this recipe, check out Arun’s book, ‘Fresh Spice’ in the Egg and Cheese chapter.)
