BROCCOLI, BITTER LEAVES & MANDARIN SALAD WITH PISTACHIO VINAIGRETTE
Recipe & Images FIONA HUGUES According to my chef friends, I am very brave publicly loving radicchio as its apparently a very hard ingredient to sell. I, like long-time dwellers of Italy and France, adore it. The crunchy mild bitterness does a lovely thing when it meets sweet citrus, and the creamy salty pistachios here […]
SEARED CARROTS, MANDARINS, CURRANTS & BURRATA
Recipe & Images FIONA HUGUES It’s no secret that I’d possibly trade one of my kids for a burrata if it were hard to come by and only flown in by private jet from a dairy in Puglia or a seaside trattoria in Europe.

ROASTED KŪMARA WITH MANDARINS, PECORINO & ALMONDS
Recipe & Images FIONA HUGUES This is a variation of my infamous Wicked Step-grandmother Kūmara Salad, but this darling little dish is in no way sinister.

BUTTERNUT & CHÈVRE TART OF ROSES
Recipe & Images FIONA HUGUES Japanese scholar Okakura Kakuzo said, “In joy or sadness, flowers are our constant friends.” With this in mind, what better way to share flowers with loved ones than those that nourish too?

MUSHROOM AND LENTIL SPAGHETTI
Recipe & Images: EMMA GALLOWAY You’ll probably notice I’m not the biggest fan of pasta. I much prefer to eat rice, gluten-free grains or vegetables … with the exception of this Mushroom + Lentil Spaghetti (and a couple of recipes in Chapter 8: Plan Ahead). This is a riff on the lentil spaghetti recipe I […]
