On asking my mother why she never taught me to cook, I was met with a blank "Well darling, you just weren't interested". How things have changed. This blog will chronicle my attempts to cook a different dish a day plus the odd food-related

Latest Blog Posts for A Brit's Dish a Day
- The Small Things That Make Me Smileon Aug 23, 2009You may wonder how I'm going to have time to write a new blog when A Brit's Dish a Day has dwindled to A Brit's Dish Every Few Days... When I Get A Moment To Write Them Up but I now want to post about all of my life - not just what occurs in my kitch...
- Salad of Middle Eastern Chicken with Bulgar Wheat and PomegranatesSometimes I get the urge to entertain, purely so I can put together a menu. Sexy S was the recipient of this dish, which was meant to be accompanied by Baklava Berry Tarts (I was doing a Middle Eastern theme!) but unfortunately we had to make too wit...
- FlapjacksOn receiving a bumper delivery of Mornflake goodies - seriously, I've never seen so many oats in my life! - I had to do something other than eat them for brekkie (although they do make a rich, creamy porridge...)Flapjacks were the obvious answer. I l...
- Salmon wrapped in filo pastryWrap a piece of skinless salmon in a few sheets of filo pastry they said. Brush with lots of melted butter and cook it for 15 minutes they said. Don't, I say...Well, do but only use a couple of sheets, season very well between the layers - or shove s...
- My lunchon Aug 11, 2009 in Wild foodThe weekend saw me bent double under an umbrella, harvesting clumps of samphire. Most was pickled but there was plenty left over which made a lip-puckeringly salty and simple lunch, pan-fried in butter. I think that it was a little late in the season...
- Chicken, pea and bean salad with coconut dressingA scrumptious salad - I'd had the recipe for ages (Diana Henry from Stella) but it seemed apt for tonight. Whisk flour into a dash of coconut milk to thicken. Heat more coconut milk to simmer, stir in the thickened paste and cook for five minutes. Co...
- Chorizo 'tortilla'Inspired by a dish in Annie Bell's Gorgeous Suppers this is a simple, delicious, savoury bake.Thickly slice some potatoes, briefly fry them in olive oil and then add water to the pan - cover and simmer until just tender. Drain and cover. Next fry som...
- Broad bean, fennel and artichoke risottoI think risottos are one of my favourite things to cook - there are infinite variations which the lazy cook can claim as their own. One such version is this, with broad beans, Mummy's home-grown fennel, and home-marinated artichokes. Mr F said he tho...
- Beef rogan joshInstead of the usual lamb rogan josh I had some beef languishing in my freezer so thought I'd make this version instead. I know that this beef takes forever to get tender so it took a long time - but was worth it.Fry a small onion, add the beef and b...
- Fairy cakesUnlike my last attempt at making fairy cakes (an unmitigated disaster) these were a success and good enough to serve to my refined pal F for afternoon tea! Of course I hid got rid of the less than perfect ones before her arrival.I followed the basic...
