The BIG Metric Ninja Foodi Cookbook: Over 100 recipes using European measurements

Product Information

The chapters are arranged by protein, vegetables and a final “Instant Ramen Plus” chapter, an anything goes section that feels like the last day of school, sticking twos up at the Head of Geography, breaking into food tech and concocting a ramen of tinned hotdogs and cheese. In a dish with few parts, so much will rely on the quality of those ingredients and the skill to prepare them well, especially with a cuisine like this, which doesn’t rely heavily on strong flavoured ingredients or spices. The book opens with an unexpectedly fascinating history of ramen, one of innovation through necessity, clandestine noodle traders and a burst in popularity in the years after World War II. It’s supposed to stew “at the back of the fire” for three to four hours, so I put my big cast-iron cocotte on top of the woodburner, pouring some cold water into the concave lid so that what liquid there was inside would condense and drip back down onto the meat.

Add 2 teaspoonfuls of cold water to soften the mixture and pulse again, then tip out onto a surface. When I need you to boil a kettle, I will tell you five minutes before you need boiling water in the recipe. And while I don’t judge a book by its cover, I do judge it on how straightforward it claims to be on that cover.

When the mushrooms begin to release their juices, continue to cook over a high heat for about 10 minutes until all the excess moisture has evaporated and you are left with a mushroom paste (known as a duxelle).It may sound trivial, but this is game-changing for owners of the Ninja Foodi all-in-one cooking devices.

When you are ready to cook the beef wellingtons, score the pastry lightly and brush with the egg wash again, then bake at 200°C/Gas 6 for 15-20 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and cooked. This book is available in the Kindle format but also two printed formats; a colour version with the green cover and a black-and-white version with a brown cover.Cons: As a Christmas-themed baking book, it’s ideally used starting early December to make the most of its festive content, which somewhat limits its suitability as a Christmas gift. Some of David's recipes include a full English breakfast, Irish beef stew, Lancashire veggie hotpot, and sticky beef and broccoli. Food for Pleasure is … a cooking anthology whose recipes have stood the test of time, of taste, and of rationing … Mrs Lowinsky, who is herself a cook of brilliance and resource, makes all these dishes in her own kitchen and can vouch for both their deliciousness and their practicality to-day.
