Delicious Meals to Cook in the Future:

Chilli
Reliable, delicious, can be adapted to go with Nachos, Jacket Potatoes, anything really.

Macaroni Cheese
Get better at this, keep that sauce creamy, probably just need to do more sauce, and cook at a higher temperature for less time.

Soups

Curries (see below)

Fajitas

From TAPAS

Huevos Estrellados
Page 66. Potato, eggs, garlic, delish. Mix it up with chorizo, prawns, Sausage, padron, peppers.

Pollo Con Anything You Could Imagine
Pp. 76-84. Wings with sweet wine, Garlicky Chicken, Red Pepper Stew, Moorish, Spanish Olives, grapes and red wine and chestnuts.

Croquetas de Jamon
Page 90. Fried ham and bechamel balls. Yum. Waiting time for chilling the mixture. Get an oil thermometer?

Migas
Page 98. Fried bread with bacon, chorizo and black pudding.

Carrilleras Estofadas
Page 101. Braised Pork Cheeks.

Gazpacho
Page 146. I find it weird, apparently Spaniards love it, and mum does too. Gotta give it a go at some point, in summer maybe.

Patatas a la Riojana
Page 156. Potatoes with peppers and chorizo.

Paella Valenciana
Page 165. Buen provecho.

From MOB

Chipotle Shakshuka

Harissa Tomato Bruschetta
Speedy Page 38.

Mexican-Style Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
Kitchen Page 36.

Chicken Fajita Pilaf
Kitchen Page 78. Simple Rice dish, essentially an easier risotto, favoured with smoked paprika and cumin.

The Cheekiest Peri Peri Chicken
Kitchen Page 126. Roast alternative, Nandos impression.

Mob's Mighty Meatball Marinara Sub
Kitchen Page 128. Key to meatballs is pork/beef mix, milky bread and egg yolks.

The Ultimate Falafel Pittas
Kitchen Page 130.

From GREAT BRITISH CHEFS

Starters:

Scallops, Green Chilli & Coriander Salsa, Peach & Buttermilk
Page 48. Mostly curious about this flavour combination, seems very odd. Only long thing is draining the buttermilk, apart from that, a very quick and probably quite intriguing starter.

Mains:

Flattened Chicken
Page 52. Great, do it with a roast. Main trick here seems to be cutting open the chicken to put garlic and thyme in, and adding quite a pit of water to the pan for cooking, easier basting at least.

Octopus with Baby Potatoes, Pementon & Olive Oil
Page 65. Sounds amazing if I can find an octopus, big tentacles are recommended. Lots of paprika and oil in this one so I'm a fan.

Blanquette de Veau with Pilau Rice
Page 73. If feeling up to the challenge, not impossible at all. Big warm dish for all the family, very creamy sauce, hearty.

Paccheri with Lamb Ragu
Page 97. Great Ragu, seems pretty standard. 'Nduja is cool.

Uova al Purgatorio
Page 99. Sounds amazing. Eggs in spicy tomato sauce. Lots of different egg cooking methods which is fun, got to be served with some really good bread, recommend toasted sourdough.

Baharat & Lemon Roast Lamb with Black Sesame Sauce
Page 110. Alternative to a roast, seems delicious, and not too hard to make. Need a griddle pan, hot.

Sichuanese Aubergine
Made 118. Quick, spicy, seems odd as a main but willing to risk it. Serve with rice.

Crispy Chilli Beef
Page 121. A very fancy version of the takeaway classic. Worth looking into for the frying technique if nothing else.

Murgh Makhani
Page 150. A simple classic. There's only so much you can so with butter chicken, so may as well do it as well as you can!

Chargrilled Teriyaki Lamb Chops
Page 154. A lamb chop recipe I can get on board with! Lots of teriyaki goodness. Another Griddle dish.

Slow-roasted Pork Belly with Apple Sauce, Garlic Puree & Port Jus
Page 181. Big long time recipe, lots of fridge resting, otherwise, a delicious belly recipe.

Smoked Bacon Potato Cakes with Soft Egg Dressing
Page 229. Yum! Simple starter, takes a while though, for a starter.

Bouillabaisse
Page 242. Give this bad boy another go, come at me Tom Aikens.

Cullen Skink
Page 250. Fish soup, but Scottish!

Caramelised Parsnip & Coconut Soup with Parsnip Bhajis
Page 274. YUM. Vegan and GF as well, so, peng. Soup on its own looks really good too.

Deserts:

Chocolate Fondant with Peanut Butter Ice cream
Page 20. Not impossible. Need an ice-cream churner ideally. Dariole mould also? Otherwise all good.

Chocolate Torte
Page 33. Very simple, breadcrumbs in a chocolate cake is a revelation.

Sea-salted Caramel Tart with Milk Chocolate
Delish.

From JAMIE'S ITALY
