Baked cabbage and bresaola pancakes
It's Pancake Day! Way back in June I was eating pancakes all the time because I had plenty of flour and no bread. You could just skip this post and go back to Operatic pancakes or Almost blinis if you prefer. But I thought I would make something a little different, something for a cold evening, something which does not require any finesse:
Experimental brownies
One summer, aged eighteen, I worked for the NAS International Biological Program, counting tardigrades and copepods in tundra soil samples. Most everyone else was a graduate student earning money during the vacation and the Arctic biome around Barrow/Utqiaġvik was a very long way from home. Mothers and girlfriends would send cardboard boxes of brownies, wrapped carefully in waxed paper, and we would await these despatches eagerly. The recipient would offer the box around before taking the letter and remains back to their Quonset hut bunk.

Tuna on rye for Inauguration Day, Virginia
I am on record as declaring that English cheese is best. But I would maintain to my dying day that American sandwiches are the very best. What is a sandwich without lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, french fries and hand made mayonnaise? So here is my fleeting advice for you.Virginia Ingredients: Sliced brown bread (rye or pumpernickel …
Roast beef with roots
I am not a natural when it comes to red meat. Anything beyond a stew or hot pot is a challenge. And I always overcook for the modern palate. But I had a decent rib of beef in the freezer, and it can't stay there that long. No potatoes or onions until I have finished …
Seville and blood orange marmalade, John
In the last two or three years I have rediscovered an old interest in things that keep – preserves: including different types of marmalade, greengage and plum jam, cider and beer (if they can be said to be preserves). With the jams, sometimes all you need is sugar, if you are lucky enough to have …
