This week’s book is Gordon Ramsay’s Sunday Lunch cookbook. This is a lovely book of Sunday lunches (3-course menus with a theme). Finding three courses from the same menu that the whole crew would eat was a challenge, but we landed on the bbq lunch! We started with crushed peas on toast with mozzarella and pecorino – these little bruschettas were delicious. The main course was marinated lamb kebabs (marinated in ginger and port) with honey and mustard pork chops which we served with a spinach and green bean salad and a potato salad. Desert was a rather lovely blueberry and redcurrant Eton Mess. The three courses were delicious indeed. The star being the starter! Across the week, we did a few other recipes from the book: Chicken Marsala with red chicory, Sausages with lentils, tagliatelle of wild mushrooms, griddled spring chicken, and vegetables on focaccia, followed by Iced berries and white chocolate sauce. The chicken Marsala has to be one of the most straightforward and most tasty dishes we’ve cooked of late – just exceptional flavours from some very simple ingredients. Sausages with lentils again was a super supper dish. We loved the spring chicken dish for which we made our focaccia—all in all, a pretty good week from Mr. Ramsey. The Sunday lunch itself was perhaps not the strongest of the dishes, but in the Marsala chicken, we found a dish that I think will be a family staple. Next week we’re cooking from a book that was brought to us from “Middle Earth”…
