Don’t scrimp on the butter and cream ever! As a chef butter and cream are the porn stars of the kitchen. I know they’re full of fat, but they taste so damn good and they are a natural food – I detest margarine and pretend butter. If you want sexy food, go all the way with double cream and salted butter. I am not saying chuck it in everything, but when you are making mash, scrambled eggs, fish chowder and porridge it makes all the difference. When a recipe says butter, assume it’s salted unless stated otherwise.
