I’m a big fan of Cantonese-Vietnamese ‘spicy salt’ – classic five-spice with salt – used as a dip for fried and grilled poultry,” says Lap-Fai Lee, a Birmingham-based restaurant consultant and food tutor. “A good cook will make this fresh, doing enough for that meal.” In a hot pan, toast salt for 30 seconds with whole Sichuan peppercorns, cinnamon or cassia, star anise, cloves and fennel seeds. The ratio is 2:1 salt to five-spice (the spices combined in equal amounts). For extra oomph, add MSG powder in equal quantity to one of the spices. “It’s not the same without it,” says Lee. Grind the mix into a fine salt and dip your meat delicately as you eat. Sal de gusano Our spicy pork mince pie recipe made with Cambodian prahok k’tis is a marriage of Australian and Cambodian food made in heaven – an iconic Australian meat pie filled with Cambodia’s deliciously spicy dip of minced pork, coconut cream, pea eggplants, prahok (fermented fish paste), and yellow kroeung (a kroeung is a Cambodian herb and spice paste). This is another of our top 31 winter recipes to cook in January and if you love curried meat pies, you are going to love our spicy minced pork pie.

This spiced pumpkin soup recipe is a combo of the kind of old-fashioned Australian creamy pumpkin soups my Nanna used to make and a Cambodian spiced pumpkin soup of Khmer Royal Cuisine. Rich, comforting and creamy, despite there being no cream, it’s a perfect cold weather soup that can be served as an elegant appetiser or in big bowls for a cosy casual meal, and it’s another of our best 31 recipes to cook in January. You’re going to love this spiced pumpkin soup recipe if you’re a lover of pumpkin soups.

There is a specific yaji for cooking sauces (this includes dawadawa, fermented locust bean), while peanut-boosted yaji-kuli is used on those suya kebabs, hot off the grill. “It adds texture to the meat,” says Bakare, who grew up using basic yaji to season salads or, in combination with mai shanu butter, rice pancakes and couscous. Nut parmesan I absolutely love cooking and more importantly eating. And I love, love, love receiving cookbooks as presents. They are manuals for learning new cuisines and transporting us to faraway places. As well as, if followed correctly hopefully creating some tasty food! Our Irish beef and Guinness pie recipe with mashed potatoes will make you four addictive mini meat pies made in ramekins. This recipe was created to use up leftover Irish stew and mashed potato leftovers – or leftover colcannon if you prefer – and is a fantastic recipe to plan on making when you next cook Irish food. Don’t forget to pierce a small hole in the pie lid and brush on the egg wash. Set the timer for 30 minutes, though we found that while our little pies were ready at 30 minutes, they needed a few more minutes to brown nicely on top. The winter edition, which was filmed in Cape Town in South Africa, was introduced with the intention of becoming a regular fixture in the Love Island schedule, however international travel restrictions meant it didn’t return this year.This classic cottage pie recipe makes the traditional Irish comfort food dish synonymous with hearty Irish farmhouse cooking and it’s another of our top 31 winter recipes to cook in January.

Wash it all down with red wine or Guinness. This sun-dried, ground Korean chilli, which gives kimchi its red colour, comes in a variety of consistencies and heats, but its “bright, fruity, slightly smoky flavour” makes it a versatile ingredient and table condiment, says Judy Joo, the chef-owner of the Seoul Bird restaurants in London. “I sprinkle it on everything from pizza to veggies,” says Joo. “Store it in your freezer to keep it zesty.” Cumin So, this Christmas, I am gifting I Am a Filipino for my Mum, who is a Filipino, because though she is from the Philippines, she didn’t actually learn to cook until she moved here and even then, it wasn’t Filipino food she learned but British. The reason behind this she says is because when she was growing up, she was never allowed into the kitchen to watch the cooking. I have previously bought this book once before, for my cousin Lindsay, who like me is mixed-race (half-Filipino & half English) and when I gifted it to her, my Mum requested that I buy her a copy too.

It also includes a recipe within a recipe for savoury cheddar cheese dumplings that cook with the stew. Though you could serve it with mashed potatoes or greens if you prefer. If you enjoy this, also try our best Irish stew recipe, which makes an incredibly rich and deeply flavoured traditional Irish stew, arguably the national dish of Ireland. For the rest one can only say that if Mr Eliot had been pleased to write in demotic English The Waste Land might not have been, as it just is to all but anthropologists and literati, so much waste paper. This spicy Mexican sopa de tortilla or tortilla soup recipe is undoubtedly one of our best winter soup recipes. Terence began cooking up this wonderful warming Mexican soup after our first trip to Mexico City in the Nineties. He tweaked it a little after a class with the lovely Marilau at her excellent cooking school in beautiful San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, where we spent two weeks on the grand tour of the world that launched Grantourismo. Terence combined a few tips from Marilau’s recipe with his old recipe – we actually prefer a spicier tortilla soup to Marilau, so Terence added additional Ancho chiles to his recipe. If you don’t like spicy food, you could leave those out. Although there are few better things than chillies to warm you up on a cold winter’s night. THAI– Homophone (“Reportedly”) for tie=draw (as in a football match). I think “woman” is here to make up the diversity numbers. This classic Cambodian fried spring rolls recipe makes a crunchy deep-fried egg roll filled with minced pork, dried shrimp, carrot, garlic, and daikon radish or taro, and seasoned with fish sauce, Kampot pepper, sea salt, and palm sugar. While you can buy them everywhere here in Siem Reap, I prefer to make them at home andlove to munch into the crispy fried spring rolls while they’re still piping hot. We also have a Cambodian fried spring roll dipping sauce recipe to go with them.The Homer in this example being Homer Simpson.

Roald is Dahl, so a little like Dahl would be Dahl-y, sounding like Salvador Dali, the painter. And the new AI image generator is called Dall-E a reference to the film about the robot Wall-E.

Digital Spy reported earlier this year that ITV has no plans to make a 2022 winter version at present, with a spokesperson for the broadcaster saying: “We are currently focusing on the forthcoming summer series.” A Mexican salt made by roasting so-called “worms” (caterpillar larvae) found on the agave plant, then mixing them with salt and sometimes chillies. “I add it where I want smoky depth,” says Shaun Hurrell, the chef-owner at Barrio Comida in Durham.

Referring to the annual (rowing) Boat Race between Oxford and Cambridge Universities. Other Universities are available. My pork Stroganoff recipe makes an umami-rich, melt-in-the-mouth pork Stroganoff. The silky, tender-soft texture of the pork comes courtesy of the Chinese velveting technique, a method that calls for marinating and pre-cooking the pork before stir-frying it. Braised with mushrooms in a richly spiced sour cream-based sauce, my pork Stroganoff takes inspiration from Shanghai’s East-West Haipai cuisine. It’s another of our top 31 winter recipes to cook in January. Serve it with shoestring fries or creamy mashed potatoes and a Russian garden salad. More Stroganoff recipes here, including our classic beef Stroganoff recipe.

Her repertoire included both Russian dishes and Ukrainian dishes and sometimes a fusion of the two. This cabbage dumplings recipe makes a cabbage-filled of the mashed potato-filled Ukrainian varenyky. For a family feast of the kind we shared regularly, make a batch of my baboushka’s Russian pelmeni, a big pot of her borscht soup, some kotleti, stuffed cabbage rolls, a classic garden salad, and perhaps some piroshki. Last Christmas and new year I read three long novels: Colm Toibin’s The Magician, an epic journey into the soul of Thomas Mann and Germany, Jonathan Franzen’s Crossroads, a enjoyable baggy family saga of adultery that immersed me happily in an unhappy family and then for new year, the astonishing Anna Karenina by Tolstoy which I found profoundly moving and which meant my January whipped by as I was really in Russia, my heart breaking worrying about Anna and what would become of her. I’d recommend all three books (and if you love the Russian storytellers, A Swim in a Pond in the Rain by George Saunders is a treat).
