Let's Eat: Recipes from My Kitchen Notebook

Product Information

She recalls her mother being way ahead of the healthy-eating curve: “In our kitchen, there were always discussions over the advantages of wholegrains, cider vinegar, turmeric, ginger, raw honeycomb, nutritional yeast, etc. Her health-consciousness was never extreme, but there was an underlying awareness of good nutrition.” So, a fantastic, humorous recipe book full of tried and tested (by Tom) favourites from almost every continent on earth. Yes, there are 'traditional' recipes here, but also sone very innovative ones to. A good book for tested or new cooks alike, who don't mind some topical commentary along the way. Her father was a huge influence on her cooking style and know-how. “He loved cooking and using lots of herbs and spices and dried fruits, making dishes that were fragrant with many flavours and textures. Recipe 6: Steak (p. 92, made 10/25/12). First, kids, be sure to do it on the grill. Outside. Not indoors. In a word: smoke. We normal folk do not have industrial kitchen exhausts. Second, do pay heed to what I didn't: the part about bringing the steaks to room temp. Third, even at room temp, 2-3 minutes per side is not gonna do it. Took me 16 minutes in all (lowered temp after first 6 minutes), but seared to perfection thanks to my Thermapen.

Meanwhile, to make the sauce, heat the oil in a saucepan, add the onions, chillies, and garlic and cook gently until soft. Add the tomatoes, season, and simmer, uncovered, for 40 minutes. Add the basil at the end of cooking time. Heat another 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat and cook the mushrooms for a few minutes. Scoop them out of the pan onto a plate and set aside. Cook the onion in the same pan, adding more butter, if needed, then add to the plate of mushrooms. Cook the steak in the remaining butter until browned on all sides, 3–4 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the wine.

All recipes have nutrition analyses and lots of gluten and dairy free options. Let’s Eat! is set to be my best book I’ve ever created and I can’t wait to share it with you!
