Baking & Desserts, Recipes, Star Chef Recipes / Erica Bracken

These work a treat in the oven, which is a great alternative if you aren’t a fan of deep-frying.

Blackberry and Star Anise Friands Recipe by Yotam Ottolenghi

Baking & Desserts, Family Recipes, Recipes, Star Chef Recipes / Roisin Flynn

This Star Anise Friands Recipe is from the Sweet cookbook by Yotam Ottolenghi. These look splendid when iced – destined for top ranking on any tiered cake stand – but also work un-iced, in the cookie tin, for grabbing on a whim. They’ll lose their slightly chewy edge after the first day or so, but

Meat Recipes, Recipes, Star Chef Recipes / Roisin Flynn

This Pigeon Recipe is Giorgio Locatelli from Made at Home. I love pigeon. It reminds me of autumn at home in Lombardy when the hunters would be out in the woods shooting game. Lentils and radicchio done in this way are also good with cotechino, the fat pork sausage that is traditional for New Year’s
