Mastering the art of cooking fish 🐟 + shop ingredients with Amazon Fresh

Mark Hix leads the way as we focus on fish cookery Chef, restaurateur, food writer, and leading light of the British food scene, Mark Hix has always had a passion for fish. Growing up on the Dorset coast, initially his focus was on catching them rather than cooking them. As a chef, and in his book Fish etc. his focus is on sustainable enjoyment of the riches the sea has to offer, and on teaching the home cook all they need to know to master any aspect of fish cookery. Subtitled The Ultimate Book for Seafood Lovers, Hix celebrates fish with a recipe for every mood, occasion and type of fish. He includes alternatives for every recipe so that the home cook can work with what fish they can find. And he covers storage, prepping, shellfish cookery, preserving, and every little thing needed to ensure confidence. Recipes include those using a touch of fish, such as bottarga or squid ink, to pack a great flavor punch. Try Risotto Nero, or Spaghetti with Bottarga. Hix is known for having a way with comforting classics – his Fish Pie will be an instant favorite with anyone lucky enough to be at the table when it is served. Or if you want to push the boat out (excuse the pun) try Poached Turbot with Egg Sauce from Hix’s days at The Dorchester.

Read more about our integration with Amazon Fresh Consuming passions: Fire Marcus Bawden is very fired up about fire. In our latest feature; Consuming Passions: Fire, he documents his journey into cooking over wood and coals, and why he wants us all to join him. The creator of website, Facebook group, and YouTube channel, CountryWoodSmoke, editor of the UK’s BBQ magazine, with his latest book BBQ for All out in mid-March, there is nothing Bawden doesn’t know about the UK barbecue scene. And there is no better guide to help you get the most out of cooking over fire. He is on a mission to teach the joys of the ritual, and the great flavor potential, of barbecue. He writes of the different stages a fire goes through, and how each stage lends itself to different and particular cooking.   When reading our feature puts you in the mood to fire up the coals, try Crumbly BBQ Rainbow Trout, some Chinese Tangy BBQ Pork Ribs, and then get creative with a BBQ ‘Mericun Apply Pie for dessert. What to eat now: celery A milder descendant of the bitter wild celery plant, celery is fresh tasting and has a great crunch. Always at home on a dish of crudités or in a salad – try this Apple and Celery Salad – it also responds well to most cooking methods. Its mild, bitter flavor can be the star of the show or a great addition to more complex dishes. Try Celery à la Portugaise, a simple dish of braised celery with tomatoes and olives that makes a great side dish or vegetarian lunch. Or Sausage, Apple and Celery Hotpot with Cider is one-pot comfort cooking at its best. 6 of the best banana breads Nothing, not even overdoing it during lockdown, can dim the glory of a great banana bread.
