  • About

A gentleman told me that he had cut out my recipe for pumpkin risotto from the Financial Times and was going to ‘do it soon’. People often tell me that they cut out my recipes for later use. It is very flattering, and it is comforting to think that in countless homes there are these scrapbooks crammed with greying (can pink ’uns grey?) or at least fading pieces of my culinary wisdom stored up, but with their instructions sadly not followed.

I am not sure why, unless it is sheer inertia, some of these recipes languish uncooked. I always plan them to be seasonal, to the letter if possible. I didn’t have the heart to explain that the pumpkin risotto would have to wait for the autumn. Similarly, while I try to make these recipes as simple as possible, inevitably some can seem a bit complicated: I avoid deploying too many ingredients, but I’ll also admit I have never advocated the quick and easy for its own sake.
