Creamy mushroom ragoût with nutmeg mash

Buttermilk is traditionally a by-product of butter-making – the liquid that is left over after butter is churned from cream. It is now made commercially by adding a bacterial culture to skimmed milk. It has a slightly sour, acidic taste and is used for making scones and soda breads. It can also be used to replace milk for a healthier milkshake.



Rich mushrooms cooked with sweet sherry and tangy mash spiced with nutmeg make this a vegetarian Christmas treat.

Lobster burger with thermidor mayonnaise

This knobbly bulbous brassica has a peculiar, alien-like look with its pale green colour and strange protruding stems. The name literally translates as 'cabbage turnip', but this belies its excellent juicy crispness and light flavour, which is slightly sweet and milder than both a cabbage and a turnip. This is a two-in-one vegetable - the leaves taste almost as good as the kohlrabi itself.

Peppermint Cookies n’ Cream Brownies

Fudgy. Rich. Intense. Chocolaty. Pepperminty. Amazing.

All of these words are ones that I would use to describe these Peppermint Cookies n’ Cream Brownies, which just might be my favorite brownies to date.

Southern Side: Creamed Collard Greens

I'm a little sick of the traditional Thanksgiving meal. That's why this year I plan on serving slightly different versions of old favorites — like a turkey roulade instead of a whole roasted turkey, for instance.
