Why is it perfect? Because I used “perfect” ingredients:
- Leftovers of Heston Blumenthal’s perfect risotto
- Leftovers of Heston Blumenthal’s perfect spaghetti Bolognese
Crispy & tasty & a lovely leftover food.

A bit of pazzaz is needed on this night of nights so here’s a list of some of my Halloween recipe ideas.
The devil is in the detail, I like to have signs for the dishes up before I bring them out because the guests are then thinking about say eyeballs and expecting eyeballs. Hence, eyeball-y items will come out looking much more like eyeballs in their mind – the power of suggesting thinking.
Some Halloween recipes ideas include: Continue reading

RECIPE – Ploughman’s lunch
Posted in 3 - Likeable :|, Cuisine, English, Lunch, Main, Meal Type, Recipe Difficulty, Recipes, Savouries, Simple, Snack with tags cooking, food blog, ploughman's lunch, recipe on January 30, 2011 by Monitor MuncherNot so much a recipe per se, but the stacking together of ingredients on a plate to make a cold lunch.
The famed English Ploughman’s Lunch – one of the best things to go with a pint.
The end combination is up to you, but usually involves crusty bread, cheese, pickled items, meats, etc.
Very quick to put together and extremely satisfying.

RECIPE – Xiao Long Bao (Chinese soup dumplings)

So how about a dumpling with meat/prawn filling & soup inside?
There were a few firsts for me, first time making dumplings, first time using a wok & first time using a bamboo steamer.
Mmm… tasty
The question is: how do you get soup inside your dumpling?
