through the instructions first to familiarise yourself with the recipe as youll need to move quickly to keep on top of the timings

2 Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat Add the bacon to the pan and fry for about 4 minutes until it starts to turn crispy Stir every so often so that both sides cook evenly

3 Meanwhile pour the boiling kettle water into a saucepan add the salt and cook the spaghetti until al dente (see packet instructions) This usually takes about 8 minutes

4 While the spaghetti is simmering away grab a bowl and mix 1 whole egg 2 egg yolks grated pecorino cheese and black pepper Set aside

5 Now back to the bacon It should be nice and crispy so add the mushrooms to the pan and fry for 2 minutes Now add the rosemary and garlic to the pan and fry for a further 1 minute until fragrant Dont let the garlic burn as it will add a bitter taste to the entire dish You can now add the courgette (zucchini) to the pan and fry for a further 2 minutes until the courgette has softened slightly but still has a lsquospaghetti-likersquo bite Then remove the frying pan from the heat

6 The spaghetti should nearly be at al dente stage Give it a taste test Quickly remove 3 tablespoons of the starchy pasta water and whisk it into the egg and cheese mixture with a fork The egg is now tempered which will help to prevent it from scrambling as it combines with the hot pasta

7 Drain the remaining water from the spaghetti and pour the spaghetti into the pan with the bacon and other ingredients Working quickly toss the spaghetti around in the pan to coat it with all the flavours Still working quickly pour the tempered egg mixture into the frying pan continuously tossing it through the spaghetti as you pour This will prevent scrambling

8 The residue heat from the spaghetti will cook the egg melt the cheese react with the starchy water you previously added to the egg mixture and produce a velvety sauce Pour into serving bowls and top with a generous grind of pepper and serve immediately

Ingredients

Method1 Traditionally carbonara uses guanciale and pecorino romano However since it

may be difficult to obtain such ingredients we sometimes use grated parmesan cheese (instead of the pecorino) and pancetta (or very rarely bacon) instead of the guanciale

2 First boil the spaghetti until cooked3 In the meantime combine the cheese egg yolks whole egg and pepper in a large

bowl4 Next in a frying pan add the guanciale and the olive oil and stir fry over medium

heat until brown5 Pour 2frac12 ladles of pasta water into the frying pan with the guanciale (so frac12 a ladle

per serving 1 ladle per 200g of pasta) and let emulsify Once emulsified turn off the heat and allow the meat to cool down Once cooled mix it with the egg and cheese mixture

6 Once the pasta is cooked drain the water and toss it in a strainer so it cools down Then combine the pasta with the egg guanciale and cheese mixture

Ingredients

Method1 Prepare a heat proof baking tray by lining it with parchment paper and I also

recommend you have a washing up bowl filled with hot soapy water ready before you begin (top tip)

2 Put the sugar in a heavy saucepan (I used a ceramic Le Creuset) and heat over a medium high heat stirring occasionally and gently until the sugar melts

3 When the sugar is all melted and a golden dark brown in colour pour in your almonds stir well and confidently then tip the mixture onto your baking tray

4 While the brittle cools clean down your pan and wooden spoon before the sugar hardens Itrsquos super hot so be careful Boiling water will help dissolve any final sugar residue

5 Break the brittle up and place it in a good processor Whiz it up until you get a breadcrumb mix Make sure any big lumps of solid sugar are broken up to protect your teeth later

6 Melt the chocolate in a microwave then stir it into your almond brittle crumbs Stir really well then either tip it back onto your baking sheet in one big slab press it into moulds or spoon into circles Chill then enjoy

through the instructions first to familiarise yourself with the recipe as youll need to move quickly to keep on top of the timings

2 Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat Add the bacon to the pan and fry for about 4 minutes until it starts to turn crispy Stir every so often so that both sides cook evenly

3 Meanwhile pour the boiling kettle water into a saucepan add the salt and cook the spaghetti until al dente (see packet instructions) This usually takes about 8 minutes

4 While the spaghetti is simmering away grab a bowl and mix 1 whole egg 2 egg yolks grated pecorino cheese and black pepper Set aside

5 Now back to the bacon It should be nice and crispy so add the mushrooms to the pan and fry for 2 minutes Now add the rosemary and garlic to the pan and fry for a further 1 minute until fragrant Dont let the garlic burn as it will add a bitter taste to the entire dish You can now add the courgette (zucchini) to the pan and fry for a further 2 minutes until the courgette has softened slightly but still has a lsquospaghetti-likersquo bite Then remove the frying pan from the heat

6 The spaghetti should nearly be at al dente stage Give it a taste test Quickly remove 3 tablespoons of the starchy pasta water and whisk it into the egg and cheese mixture with a fork The egg is now tempered which will help to prevent it from scrambling as it combines with the hot pasta

7 Drain the remaining water from the spaghetti and pour the spaghetti into the pan with the bacon and other ingredients Working quickly toss the spaghetti around in the pan to coat it with all the flavours Still working quickly pour the tempered egg mixture into the frying pan continuously tossing it through the spaghetti as you pour This will prevent scrambling

8 The residue heat from the spaghetti will cook the egg melt the cheese react with the starchy water you previously added to the egg mixture and produce a velvety sauce Pour into serving bowls and top with a generous grind of pepper and serve immediately

Ingredients

Method1 Traditionally carbonara uses guanciale and pecorino romano However since it

may be difficult to obtain such ingredients we sometimes use grated parmesan cheese (instead of the pecorino) and pancetta (or very rarely bacon) instead of the guanciale

2 First boil the spaghetti until cooked3 In the meantime combine the cheese egg yolks whole egg and pepper in a large

bowl4 Next in a frying pan add the guanciale and the olive oil and stir fry over medium

heat until brown5 Pour 2frac12 ladles of pasta water into the frying pan with the guanciale (so frac12 a ladle

per serving 1 ladle per 200g of pasta) and let emulsify Once emulsified turn off the heat and allow the meat to cool down Once cooled mix it with the egg and cheese mixture

6 Once the pasta is cooked drain the water and toss it in a strainer so it cools down Then combine the pasta with the egg guanciale and cheese mixture

Ingredients

Method1 Prepare a heat proof baking tray by lining it with parchment paper and I also

recommend you have a washing up bowl filled with hot soapy water ready before you begin (top tip)

2 Put the sugar in a heavy saucepan (I used a ceramic Le Creuset) and heat over a medium high heat stirring occasionally and gently until the sugar melts

3 When the sugar is all melted and a golden dark brown in colour pour in your almonds stir well and confidently then tip the mixture onto your baking tray

4 While the brittle cools clean down your pan and wooden spoon before the sugar hardens Itrsquos super hot so be careful Boiling water will help dissolve any final sugar residue

5 Break the brittle up and place it in a good processor Whiz it up until you get a breadcrumb mix Make sure any big lumps of solid sugar are broken up to protect your teeth later

6 Melt the chocolate in a microwave then stir it into your almond brittle crumbs Stir really well then either tip it back onto your baking sheet in one big slab press it into moulds or spoon into circles Chill then enjoy

Method1 Prepare the Dashi stock by washing and then soaking the shiitake and kombu for

at least an hour Then heat for 15 minutes but donrsquot boil If you taste it should already taste delicious This is such an important part of the recipe and gives the umami taste

2 Cut the veg into similar sized pieces This is important in zen cooking As it allows the veg to cook for the minimum amount of time and retain nutrients Add a few squares of medium or firm tofu You can use a soft tofu but add at the last minute or it will crumble

3 Simmer the veg in the Dashi until cooked Only use just enough to cover the veg to help retain the nutrients of the vegetables Donrsquot overcook they should still have some bite Add soy sauce to taste if using

Method1 Boil the kettle prepare your ingredients and get your equipment ready Read

through the instructions first to familiarise yourself with the recipe as youll need to move quickly to keep on top of the timings

2 Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat Add the bacon to the pan and fry for about 4 minutes until it starts to turn crispy Stir every so often so that both sides cook evenly

3 Meanwhile pour the boiling kettle water into a saucepan add the salt and cook the spaghetti until al dente (see packet instructions) This usually takes about 8 minutes

4 While the spaghetti is simmering away grab a bowl and mix 1 whole egg 2 egg yolks grated pecorino cheese and black pepper Set aside

5 Now back to the bacon It should be nice and crispy so add the mushrooms to the pan and fry for 2 minutes Now add the rosemary and garlic to the pan and fry for a further 1 minute until fragrant Dont let the garlic burn as it will add a bitter taste to the entire dish You can now add the courgette (zucchini) to the pan and fry for a further 2 minutes until the courgette has softened slightly but still has a lsquospaghetti-likersquo bite Then remove the frying pan from the heat

6 The spaghetti should nearly be at al dente stage Give it a taste test Quickly remove 3 tablespoons of the starchy pasta water and whisk it into the egg and cheese mixture with a fork The egg is now tempered which will help to prevent it from scrambling as it combines with the hot pasta

7 Drain the remaining water from the spaghetti and pour the spaghetti into the pan with the bacon and other ingredients Working quickly toss the spaghetti around in the pan to coat it with all the flavours Still working quickly pour the tempered egg mixture into the frying pan continuously tossing it through the spaghetti as you pour This will prevent scrambling

8 The residue heat from the spaghetti will cook the egg melt the cheese react with the starchy water you previously added to the egg mixture and produce a velvety sauce Pour into serving bowls and top with a generous grind of pepper and serve immediately

Ingredients

Method1 Traditionally carbonara uses guanciale and pecorino romano However since it

may be difficult to obtain such ingredients we sometimes use grated parmesan cheese (instead of the pecorino) and pancetta (or very rarely bacon) instead of the guanciale

2 First boil the spaghetti until cooked3 In the meantime combine the cheese egg yolks whole egg and pepper in a large

bowl4 Next in a frying pan add the guanciale and the olive oil and stir fry over medium

heat until brown5 Pour 2frac12 ladles of pasta water into the frying pan with the guanciale (so frac12 a ladle

per serving 1 ladle per 200g of pasta) and let emulsify Once emulsified turn off the heat and allow the meat to cool down Once cooled mix it with the egg and cheese mixture

6 Once the pasta is cooked drain the water and toss it in a strainer so it cools down Then combine the pasta with the egg guanciale and cheese mixture

Ingredients

Method1 Prepare a heat proof baking tray by lining it with parchment paper and I also

recommend you have a washing up bowl filled with hot soapy water ready before you begin (top tip)

2 Put the sugar in a heavy saucepan (I used a ceramic Le Creuset) and heat over a medium high heat stirring occasionally and gently until the sugar melts

3 When the sugar is all melted and a golden dark brown in colour pour in your almonds stir well and confidently then tip the mixture onto your baking tray

4 While the brittle cools clean down your pan and wooden spoon before the sugar hardens Itrsquos super hot so be careful Boiling water will help dissolve any final sugar residue

5 Break the brittle up and place it in a good processor Whiz it up until you get a breadcrumb mix Make sure any big lumps of solid sugar are broken up to protect your teeth later

6 Melt the chocolate in a microwave then stir it into your almond brittle crumbs Stir really well then either tip it back onto your baking sheet in one big slab press it into moulds or spoon into circles Chill then enjoy

add the head of the fish the water salt and bay leaf Put the lid on and let the head cook for about 10 minutes Once its ready switch off the hob and start with the paella

2 In a pestle and mortar grind the saffron until it becomes a powder It has to be really dry for it to become a powder some people put it in the microwave but Ive never done that I keep it in a sealed dry container until the minute I grind it Now with the powder add half a cup of cold water and leave it to rest for now

3 To make sure your paella cooks well the fire has to be well distributed all around the bottom of the pan

4 In the paella pan pour 2 TBSP of olive oil fry the garlic and once it is golden remove it and set aside

5 Add the chorizo let it release the fat and the beautiful red colour into the oil then add the chicken Once the chorizo is done remove it and set aside with the garlic Add the red pepper brown the chicken on both sides then remove both and set aside

1 First you have to prepare the fish stock Fry the onions in 2 TBSP of vegetable oil add the head of the fish the water salt and bay leaf Put the lid on and let the head cook for about 10 minutes Once its ready switch off the hob and start with the paella

2 In a pestle and mortar grind the saffron until it becomes a powder It has to be really dry for it to become a powder some people put it in the microwave but Ive never done that I keep it in a sealed dry container until the minute I grind it Now with the powder add half a cup of cold water and leave it to rest for now

3 To make sure your paella cooks well the fire has to be well distributed all around the bottom of the pan

4 In the paella pan pour 2 TBSP of olive oil fry the garlic and once it is golden remove it and set aside

5 Add the chorizo let it release the fat and the beautiful red colour into the oil then add the chicken Once the chorizo is done remove it and set aside with the garlic Add the red pepper brown the chicken on both sides then remove both and set aside

6 Add the seafood and the rice together Mix it well and start putting everything back into the pan again The garlic first then the chorizo Stir it well add the saffron and make sure you used it all by putting some of the stock in the pestle and mortar to remove any remaining bit Mix it all very well then even out the rice Place the chicken one piece on each section of the pan

7 Add the red pepper and the peas Finally pour the stock carefully with a soup ladle dont pour it all at once and do not mix it anymore You must stay beside the paella while it cooks to make sure it wont gt too dry add more stock if needed you might not use it all so can always freeze it It takes around 20 minutes for the rice to cook Meanwhile grab yourself some sangria and enjoy the cooking

at least an hour Then heat for 15 minutes but donrsquot boil If you taste it should already taste delicious This is such an important part of the recipe and gives the umami taste

2 Cut the veg into similar sized pieces This is important in zen cooking As it allows the veg to cook for the minimum amount of time and retain nutrients Add a few squares of medium or firm tofu You can use a soft tofu but add at the last minute or it will crumble

3 Simmer the veg in the Dashi until cooked Only use just enough to cover the veg to help retain the nutrients of the vegetables Donrsquot overcook they should still have some bite Add soy sauce to taste if using

Method1 Boil the kettle prepare your ingredients and get your equipment ready Read

through the instructions first to familiarise yourself with the recipe as youll need to move quickly to keep on top of the timings

2 Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat Add the bacon to the pan and fry for about 4 minutes until it starts to turn crispy Stir every so often so that both sides cook evenly

3 Meanwhile pour the boiling kettle water into a saucepan add the salt and cook the spaghetti until al dente (see packet instructions) This usually takes about 8 minutes

4 While the spaghetti is simmering away grab a bowl and mix 1 whole egg 2 egg yolks grated pecorino cheese and black pepper Set aside

5 Now back to the bacon It should be nice and crispy so add the mushrooms to the pan and fry for 2 minutes Now add the rosemary and garlic to the pan and fry for a further 1 minute until fragrant Dont let the garlic burn as it will add a bitter taste to the entire dish You can now add the courgette (zucchini) to the pan and fry for a further 2 minutes until the courgette has softened slightly but still has a lsquospaghetti-likersquo bite Then remove the frying pan from the heat

6 The spaghetti should nearly be at al dente stage Give it a taste test Quickly remove 3 tablespoons of the starchy pasta water and whisk it into the egg and cheese mixture with a fork The egg is now tempered which will help to prevent it from scrambling as it combines with the hot pasta

7 Drain the remaining water from the spaghetti and pour the spaghetti into the pan with the bacon and other ingredients Working quickly toss the spaghetti around in the pan to coat it with all the flavours Still working quickly pour the tempered egg mixture into the frying pan continuously tossing it through the spaghetti as you pour This will prevent scrambling

8 The residue heat from the spaghetti will cook the egg melt the cheese react with the starchy water you previously added to the egg mixture and produce a velvety sauce Pour into serving bowls and top with a generous grind of pepper and serve immediately

Method1 Traditionally carbonara uses guanciale and pecorino romano However since it

may be difficult to obtain such ingredients we sometimes use grated parmesan cheese (instead of the pecorino) and pancetta (or very rarely bacon) instead of the guanciale

2 First boil the spaghetti until cooked3 In the meantime combine the cheese egg yolks whole egg and pepper in a large

bowl4 Next in a frying pan add the guanciale and the olive oil and stir fry over medium

heat until brown5 Pour 2frac12 ladles of pasta water into the frying pan with the guanciale (so frac12 a ladle

per serving 1 ladle per 200g of pasta) and let emulsify Once emulsified turn off the heat and allow the meat to cool down Once cooled mix it with the egg and cheese mixture

6 Once the pasta is cooked drain the water and toss it in a strainer so it cools down Then combine the pasta with the egg guanciale and cheese mixture

Method1 Prepare a heat proof baking tray by lining it with parchment paper and I also

recommend you have a washing up bowl filled with hot soapy water ready before you begin (top tip)

2 Put the sugar in a heavy saucepan (I used a ceramic Le Creuset) and heat over a medium high heat stirring occasionally and gently until the sugar melts

3 When the sugar is all melted and a golden dark brown in colour pour in your almonds stir well and confidently then tip the mixture onto your baking tray

4 While the brittle cools clean down your pan and wooden spoon before the sugar hardens Itrsquos super hot so be careful Boiling water will help dissolve any final sugar residue

5 Break the brittle up and place it in a good processor Whiz it up until you get a breadcrumb mix Make sure any big lumps of solid sugar are broken up to protect your teeth later

6 Melt the chocolate in a microwave then stir it into your almond brittle crumbs Stir really well then either tip it back onto your baking sheet in one big slab press it into moulds or spoon into circles Chill then enjoy

2 Drain the water and immediately rinse it with cold water until its completely cold Drain it and put it in a large bowl

3 Make the omelettes They should be thin ones to be rolled and sliced4 Use a slicer for the carrots and the cucumber I have a Benriner and its great

because it has interchangeable blades and also adjustable to make very thin slices5 Separate the stripes of the kanikama it doesnt need to be perfect Add the carrots

the cucumber the omelette and the kanikama to the noodles6 Dilute the sugar in the vinegar Season the salad with the vinegar soy sauce and

toasted sesame oil Mix it well with your hands This bit is quite messy but I havent found a better way yet I sometimes use gloves but I dont mind washing my hands after its all part of the fun Enjoy

Method1 Prepare the Dashi stock by washing and then soaking the shiitake and kombu for

at least an hour Then heat for 15 minutes but donrsquot boil If you taste it should already taste delicious This is such an important part of the recipe and gives the umami taste

2 Cut the veg into similar sized pieces This is important in zen cooking As it allows the veg to cook for the minimum amount of time and retain nutrients Add a few squares of medium or firm tofu You can use a soft tofu but add at the last minute or it will crumble

3 Simmer the veg in the Dashi until cooked Only use just enough to cover the veg to help retain the nutrients of the vegetables Donrsquot overcook they should still have some bite Add soy sauce to taste if using

Method1 Boil the kettle prepare your ingredients and get your equipment ready Read

through the instructions first to familiarise yourself with the recipe as youll need to move quickly to keep on top of the timings

2 Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat Add the bacon to the pan and fry for about 4 minutes until it starts to turn crispy Stir every so often so that both sides cook evenly

3 Meanwhile pour the boiling kettle water into a saucepan add the salt and cook the spaghetti until al dente (see packet instructions) This usually takes about 8 minutes

4 While the spaghetti is simmering away grab a bowl and mix 1 whole egg 2 egg yolks grated pecorino cheese and black pepper Set aside

5 Now back to the bacon It should be nice and crispy so add the mushrooms to the pan and fry for 2 minutes Now add the rosemary and garlic to the pan and fry for a further 1 minute until fragrant Dont let the garlic burn as it will add a bitter taste to the entire dish You can now add the courgette (zucchini) to the pan and fry for a further 2 minutes until the courgette has softened slightly but still has a lsquospaghetti-likersquo bite Then remove the frying pan from the heat

6 The spaghetti should nearly be at al dente stage Give it a taste test Quickly remove 3 tablespoons of the starchy pasta water and whisk it into the egg and cheese mixture with a fork The egg is now tempered which will help to prevent it from scrambling as it combines with the hot pasta

7 Drain the remaining water from the spaghetti and pour the spaghetti into the pan with the bacon and other ingredients Working quickly toss the spaghetti around in the pan to coat it with all the flavours Still working quickly pour the tempered egg mixture into the frying pan continuously tossing it through the spaghetti as you pour This will prevent scrambling

8 The residue heat from the spaghetti will cook the egg melt the cheese react with the starchy water you previously added to the egg mixture and produce a velvety sauce Pour into serving bowls and top with a generous grind of pepper and serve immediately

Ingredients

Method1 Traditionally carbonara uses guanciale and pecorino romano However since it

may be difficult to obtain such ingredients we sometimes use grated parmesan cheese (instead of the pecorino) and pancetta (or very rarely bacon) instead of the guanciale

2 First boil the spaghetti until cooked3 In the meantime combine the cheese egg yolks whole egg and pepper in a large

bowl4 Next in a frying pan add the guanciale and the olive oil and stir fry over medium

heat until brown5 Pour 2frac12 ladles of pasta water into the frying pan with the guanciale (so frac12 a ladle

per serving 1 ladle per 200g of pasta) and let emulsify Once emulsified turn off the heat and allow the meat to cool down Once cooled mix it with the egg and cheese mixture

6 Once the pasta is cooked drain the water and toss it in a strainer so it cools down Then combine the pasta with the egg guanciale and cheese mixture

Sonia

Ingredients

Method1 Prepare a heat proof baking tray by lining it with parchment paper and I also

recommend you have a washing up bowl filled with hot soapy water ready before you begin (top tip)

2 Put the sugar in a heavy saucepan (I used a ceramic Le Creuset) and heat over a medium high heat stirring occasionally and gently until the sugar melts

3 When the sugar is all melted and a golden dark brown in colour pour in your almonds stir well and confidently then tip the mixture onto your baking tray

4 While the brittle cools clean down your pan and wooden spoon before the sugar hardens Itrsquos super hot so be careful Boiling water will help dissolve any final sugar residue

5 Break the brittle up and place it in a good processor Whiz it up until you get a breadcrumb mix Make sure any big lumps of solid sugar are broken up to protect your teeth later

6 Melt the chocolate in a microwave then stir it into your almond brittle crumbs Stir really well then either tip it back onto your baking sheet in one big slab press it into moulds or spoon into circles Chill then enjoy

at least an hour Then heat for 15 minutes but donrsquot boil If you taste it should already taste delicious This is such an important part of the recipe and gives the umami taste

2 Cut the veg into similar sized pieces This is important in zen cooking As it allows the veg to cook for the minimum amount of time and retain nutrients Add a few squares of medium or firm tofu You can use a soft tofu but add at the last minute or it will crumble

3 Simmer the veg in the Dashi until cooked Only use just enough to cover the veg to help retain the nutrients of the vegetables Donrsquot overcook they should still have some bite Add soy sauce to taste if using

12 When the whites are set and the yolk is cooked to your preference (I like my yolk runny) Remove from the pan immediately and place over the rice Tip if you prefer your yolk a bit more cooked once egg is crispy on the edges flip it over gently Cook the other side for a minute and turn off heat

13 Its ready to serve Eat immediately while hot Serve with one or two lime wedges (squeeze lime over the dish before eating)

Method1 Traditionally carbonara uses guanciale and pecorino romano However since it

may be difficult to obtain such ingredients we sometimes use grated parmesan cheese (instead of the pecorino) and pancetta (or very rarely bacon) instead of the guanciale

2 First boil the spaghetti until cooked3 In the meantime combine the cheese egg yolks whole egg and pepper in a large

bowl4 Next in a frying pan add the guanciale and the olive oil and stir fry over medium

heat until brown5 Pour 2frac12 ladles of pasta water into the frying pan with the guanciale (so frac12 a ladle

per serving 1 ladle per 200g of pasta) and let emulsify Once emulsified turn off the heat and allow the meat to cool down Once cooled mix it with the egg and cheese mixture

6 Once the pasta is cooked drain the water and toss it in a strainer so it cools down Then combine the pasta with the egg guanciale and cheese mixture

Ingredients

Method1 Prepare a heat proof baking tray by lining it with parchment paper and I also

recommend you have a washing up bowl filled with hot soapy water ready before you begin (top tip)

2 Put the sugar in a heavy saucepan (I used a ceramic Le Creuset) and heat over a medium high heat stirring occasionally and gently until the sugar melts

3 When the sugar is all melted and a golden dark brown in colour pour in your almonds stir well and confidently then tip the mixture onto your baking tray

4 While the brittle cools clean down your pan and wooden spoon before the sugar hardens Itrsquos super hot so be careful Boiling water will help dissolve any final sugar residue

5 Break the brittle up and place it in a good processor Whiz it up until you get a breadcrumb mix Make sure any big lumps of solid sugar are broken up to protect your teeth later

6 Melt the chocolate in a microwave then stir it into your almond brittle crumbs Stir really well then either tip it back onto your baking sheet in one big slab press it into moulds or spoon into circles Chill then enjoy

Method1 Prepare the Dashi stock by washing and then soaking the shiitake and kombu for

at least an hour Then heat for 15 minutes but donrsquot boil If you taste it should already taste delicious This is such an important part of the recipe and gives the umami taste

2 Cut the veg into similar sized pieces This is important in zen cooking As it allows the veg to cook for the minimum amount of time and retain nutrients Add a few squares of medium or firm tofu You can use a soft tofu but add at the last minute or it will crumble

3 Simmer the veg in the Dashi until cooked Only use just enough to cover the veg to help retain the nutrients of the vegetables Donrsquot overcook they should still have some bite Add soy sauce to taste if using

Francesco Roviaro

Ingredients

Method1 Traditionally carbonara uses guanciale and pecorino romano However since it

may be difficult to obtain such ingredients we sometimes use grated parmesan cheese (instead of the pecorino) and pancetta (or very rarely bacon) instead of the guanciale

2 First boil the spaghetti until cooked3 In the meantime combine the cheese egg yolks whole egg and pepper in a large

bowl4 Next in a frying pan add the guanciale and the olive oil and stir fry over medium

heat until brown5 Pour 2frac12 ladles of pasta water into the frying pan with the guanciale (so frac12 a ladle

per serving 1 ladle per 200g of pasta) and let emulsify Once emulsified turn off the heat and allow the meat to cool down Once cooled mix it with the egg and cheese mixture

6 Once the pasta is cooked drain the water and toss it in a strainer so it cools down Then combine the pasta with the egg guanciale and cheese mixture

Sonia

Ingredients

Method1 Prepare a heat proof baking tray by lining it with parchment paper and I also

recommend you have a washing up bowl filled with hot soapy water ready before you begin (top tip)

2 Put the sugar in a heavy saucepan (I used a ceramic Le Creuset) and heat over a medium high heat stirring occasionally and gently until the sugar melts

3 When the sugar is all melted and a golden dark brown in colour pour in your almonds stir well and confidently then tip the mixture onto your baking tray

4 While the brittle cools clean down your pan and wooden spoon before the sugar hardens Itrsquos super hot so be careful Boiling water will help dissolve any final sugar residue

5 Break the brittle up and place it in a good processor Whiz it up until you get a breadcrumb mix Make sure any big lumps of solid sugar are broken up to protect your teeth later

6 Melt the chocolate in a microwave then stir it into your almond brittle crumbs Stir really well then either tip it back onto your baking sheet in one big slab press it into moulds or spoon into circles Chill then enjoy

Francesco Roviaro

Ingredients

Method1 Traditionally carbonara uses guanciale and pecorino romano However since it

may be difficult to obtain such ingredients we sometimes use grated parmesan cheese (instead of the pecorino) and pancetta (or very rarely bacon) instead of the guanciale

2 First boil the spaghetti until cooked3 In the meantime combine the cheese egg yolks whole egg and pepper in a large

bowl4 Next in a frying pan add the guanciale and the olive oil and stir fry over medium

heat until brown5 Pour 2frac12 ladles of pasta water into the frying pan with the guanciale (so frac12 a ladle

per serving 1 ladle per 200g of pasta) and let emulsify Once emulsified turn off the heat and allow the meat to cool down Once cooled mix it with the egg and cheese mixture

6 Once the pasta is cooked drain the water and toss it in a strainer so it cools down Then combine the pasta with the egg guanciale and cheese mixture

Sonia

Ingredients

Method1 Prepare a heat proof baking tray by lining it with parchment paper and I also

recommend you have a washing up bowl filled with hot soapy water ready before you begin (top tip)

2 Put the sugar in a heavy saucepan (I used a ceramic Le Creuset) and heat over a medium high heat stirring occasionally and gently until the sugar melts

3 When the sugar is all melted and a golden dark brown in colour pour in your almonds stir well and confidently then tip the mixture onto your baking tray

4 While the brittle cools clean down your pan and wooden spoon before the sugar hardens Itrsquos super hot so be careful Boiling water will help dissolve any final sugar residue

5 Break the brittle up and place it in a good processor Whiz it up until you get a breadcrumb mix Make sure any big lumps of solid sugar are broken up to protect your teeth later

6 Melt the chocolate in a microwave then stir it into your almond brittle crumbs Stir really well then either tip it back onto your baking sheet in one big slab press it into moulds or spoon into circles Chill then enjoy

at least an hour Then heat for 15 minutes but donrsquot boil If you taste it should already taste delicious This is such an important part of the recipe and gives the umami taste

2 Cut the veg into similar sized pieces This is important in zen cooking As it allows the veg to cook for the minimum amount of time and retain nutrients Add a few squares of medium or firm tofu You can use a soft tofu but add at the last minute or it will crumble

3 Simmer the veg in the Dashi until cooked Only use just enough to cover the veg to help retain the nutrients of the vegetables Donrsquot overcook they should still have some bite Add soy sauce to taste if using

Method1 Traditionally carbonara uses guanciale and pecorino romano However since it

may be difficult to obtain such ingredients we sometimes use grated parmesan cheese (instead of the pecorino) and pancetta (or very rarely bacon) instead of the guanciale

2 First boil the spaghetti until cooked3 In the meantime combine the cheese egg yolks whole egg and pepper in a large

bowl4 Next in a frying pan add the guanciale and the olive oil and stir fry over medium

heat until brown5 Pour 2frac12 ladles of pasta water into the frying pan with the guanciale (so frac12 a ladle

per serving 1 ladle per 200g of pasta) and let emulsify Once emulsified turn off the heat and allow the meat to cool down Once cooled mix it with the egg and cheese mixture

6 Once the pasta is cooked drain the water and toss it in a strainer so it cools down Then combine the pasta with the egg guanciale and cheese mixture

Ingredients

Method1 Prepare a heat proof baking tray by lining it with parchment paper and I also

recommend you have a washing up bowl filled with hot soapy water ready before you begin (top tip)

2 Put the sugar in a heavy saucepan (I used a ceramic Le Creuset) and heat over a medium high heat stirring occasionally and gently until the sugar melts

3 When the sugar is all melted and a golden dark brown in colour pour in your almonds stir well and confidently then tip the mixture onto your baking tray

4 While the brittle cools clean down your pan and wooden spoon before the sugar hardens Itrsquos super hot so be careful Boiling water will help dissolve any final sugar residue

5 Break the brittle up and place it in a good processor Whiz it up until you get a breadcrumb mix Make sure any big lumps of solid sugar are broken up to protect your teeth later

6 Melt the chocolate in a microwave then stir it into your almond brittle crumbs Stir really well then either tip it back onto your baking sheet in one big slab press it into moulds or spoon into circles Chill then enjoy

Method1 Prepare the Dashi stock by washing and then soaking the shiitake and kombu for

at least an hour Then heat for 15 minutes but donrsquot boil If you taste it should already taste delicious This is such an important part of the recipe and gives the umami taste

2 Cut the veg into similar sized pieces This is important in zen cooking As it allows the veg to cook for the minimum amount of time and retain nutrients Add a few squares of medium or firm tofu You can use a soft tofu but add at the last minute or it will crumble

3 Simmer the veg in the Dashi until cooked Only use just enough to cover the veg to help retain the nutrients of the vegetables Donrsquot overcook they should still have some bite Add soy sauce to taste if using

Ingredients

Method1 Traditionally carbonara uses guanciale and pecorino romano However since it

may be difficult to obtain such ingredients we sometimes use grated parmesan cheese (instead of the pecorino) and pancetta (or very rarely bacon) instead of the guanciale

2 First boil the spaghetti until cooked3 In the meantime combine the cheese egg yolks whole egg and pepper in a large

bowl4 Next in a frying pan add the guanciale and the olive oil and stir fry over medium

heat until brown5 Pour 2frac12 ladles of pasta water into the frying pan with the guanciale (so frac12 a ladle

per serving 1 ladle per 200g of pasta) and let emulsify Once emulsified turn off the heat and allow the meat to cool down Once cooled mix it with the egg and cheese mixture

6 Once the pasta is cooked drain the water and toss it in a strainer so it cools down Then combine the pasta with the egg guanciale and cheese mixture

Ingredients

Method1 Prepare a heat proof baking tray by lining it with parchment paper and I also

recommend you have a washing up bowl filled with hot soapy water ready before you begin (top tip)

2 Put the sugar in a heavy saucepan (I used a ceramic Le Creuset) and heat over a medium high heat stirring occasionally and gently until the sugar melts

3 When the sugar is all melted and a golden dark brown in colour pour in your almonds stir well and confidently then tip the mixture onto your baking tray

4 While the brittle cools clean down your pan and wooden spoon before the sugar hardens Itrsquos super hot so be careful Boiling water will help dissolve any final sugar residue

5 Break the brittle up and place it in a good processor Whiz it up until you get a breadcrumb mix Make sure any big lumps of solid sugar are broken up to protect your teeth later

6 Melt the chocolate in a microwave then stir it into your almond brittle crumbs Stir really well then either tip it back onto your baking sheet in one big slab press it into moulds or spoon into circles Chill then enjoy

at least an hour Then heat for 15 minutes but donrsquot boil If you taste it should already taste delicious This is such an important part of the recipe and gives the umami taste

Francesco Roviaro

Ingredients

Method1 Traditionally carbonara uses guanciale and pecorino romano However since it

may be difficult to obtain such ingredients we sometimes use grated parmesan cheese (instead of the pecorino) and pancetta (or very rarely bacon) instead of the guanciale

2 First boil the spaghetti until cooked3 In the meantime combine the cheese egg yolks whole egg and pepper in a large

bowl4 Next in a frying pan add the guanciale and the olive oil and stir fry over medium

heat until brown5 Pour 2frac12 ladles of pasta water into the frying pan with the guanciale (so frac12 a ladle

per serving 1 ladle per 200g of pasta) and let emulsify Once emulsified turn off the heat and allow the meat to cool down Once cooled mix it with the egg and cheese mixture

6 Once the pasta is cooked drain the water and toss it in a strainer so it cools down Then combine the pasta with the egg guanciale and cheese mixture

rosemary and keep cooking untill the rice is cooked through and you start to smell burning coming from the center of the pan This is normal and you want it as this is what we call sucrado Its one of the distinguishing factors of traditional paella

Sonia

Ingredients

Method1 Prepare a heat proof baking tray by lining it with parchment paper and I also

recommend you have a washing up bowl filled with hot soapy water ready before you begin (top tip)

2 Put the sugar in a heavy saucepan (I used a ceramic Le Creuset) and heat over a medium high heat stirring occasionally and gently until the sugar melts

3 When the sugar is all melted and a golden dark brown in colour pour in your almonds stir well and confidently then tip the mixture onto your baking tray

4 While the brittle cools clean down your pan and wooden spoon before the sugar hardens Itrsquos super hot so be careful Boiling water will help dissolve any final sugar residue

5 Break the brittle up and place it in a good processor Whiz it up until you get a breadcrumb mix Make sure any big lumps of solid sugar are broken up to protect your teeth later

6 Melt the chocolate in a microwave then stir it into your almond brittle crumbs Stir really well then either tip it back onto your baking sheet in one big slab press it into moulds or spoon into circles Chill then enjoy

at least an hour Then heat for 15 minutes but donrsquot boil If you taste it should already taste delicious This is such an important part of the recipe and gives the umami taste

2 Cut the veg into similar sized pieces This is important in zen cooking As it allows the veg to cook for the minimum amount of time and retain nutrients Add a few squares of medium or firm tofu You can use a soft tofu but add at the last minute or it will crumble

3 Simmer the veg in the Dashi until cooked Only use just enough to cover the veg to help retain the nutrients of the vegetables Donrsquot overcook they should still have some bite Add soy sauce to taste if using

Method1 Traditionally carbonara uses guanciale and pecorino romano However since it

may be difficult to obtain such ingredients we sometimes use grated parmesan cheese (instead of the pecorino) and pancetta (or very rarely bacon) instead of the guanciale

2 First boil the spaghetti until cooked3 In the meantime combine the cheese egg yolks whole egg and pepper in a large

bowl4 Next in a frying pan add the guanciale and the olive oil and stir fry over medium

heat until brown5 Pour 2frac12 ladles of pasta water into the frying pan with the guanciale (so frac12 a ladle

per serving 1 ladle per 200g of pasta) and let emulsify Once emulsified turn off the heat and allow the meat to cool down Once cooled mix it with the egg and cheese mixture

6 Once the pasta is cooked drain the water and toss it in a strainer so it cools down Then combine the pasta with the egg guanciale and cheese mixture

Method1 Prepare a heat proof baking tray by lining it with parchment paper and I also

recommend you have a washing up bowl filled with hot soapy water ready before you begin (top tip)

2 Put the sugar in a heavy saucepan (I used a ceramic Le Creuset) and heat over a medium high heat stirring occasionally and gently until the sugar melts

3 When the sugar is all melted and a golden dark brown in colour pour in your almonds stir well and confidently then tip the mixture onto your baking tray

4 While the brittle cools clean down your pan and wooden spoon before the sugar hardens Itrsquos super hot so be careful Boiling water will help dissolve any final sugar residue

5 Break the brittle up and place it in a good processor Whiz it up until you get a breadcrumb mix Make sure any big lumps of solid sugar are broken up to protect your teeth later

6 Melt the chocolate in a microwave then stir it into your almond brittle crumbs Stir really well then either tip it back onto your baking sheet in one big slab press it into moulds or spoon into circles Chill then enjoy

at least an hour Then heat for 15 minutes but donrsquot boil If you taste it should already taste delicious This is such an important part of the recipe and gives the umami taste

2 Cut the veg into similar sized pieces This is important in zen cooking As it allows the veg to cook for the minimum amount of time and retain nutrients Add a few squares of medium or firm tofu You can use a soft tofu but add at the last minute or it will crumble

3 Simmer the veg in the Dashi until cooked Only use just enough to cover the veg to help retain the nutrients of the vegetables Donrsquot overcook they should still have some bite Add soy sauce to taste if using

Ingredients

Method1 Traditionally carbonara uses guanciale and pecorino romano However since it

may be difficult to obtain such ingredients we sometimes use grated parmesan cheese (instead of the pecorino) and pancetta (or very rarely bacon) instead of the guanciale

2 First boil the spaghetti until cooked3 In the meantime combine the cheese egg yolks whole egg and pepper in a large

bowl4 Next in a frying pan add the guanciale and the olive oil and stir fry over medium

heat until brown5 Pour 2frac12 ladles of pasta water into the frying pan with the guanciale (so frac12 a ladle

per serving 1 ladle per 200g of pasta) and let emulsify Once emulsified turn off the heat and allow the meat to cool down Once cooled mix it with the egg and cheese mixture

6 Once the pasta is cooked drain the water and toss it in a strainer so it cools down Then combine the pasta with the egg guanciale and cheese mixture

Ingredients

Method1 Prepare a heat proof baking tray by lining it with parchment paper and I also

recommend you have a washing up bowl filled with hot soapy water ready before you begin (top tip)

2 Put the sugar in a heavy saucepan (I used a ceramic Le Creuset) and heat over a medium high heat stirring occasionally and gently until the sugar melts

3 When the sugar is all melted and a golden dark brown in colour pour in your almonds stir well and confidently then tip the mixture onto your baking tray

4 While the brittle cools clean down your pan and wooden spoon before the sugar hardens Itrsquos super hot so be careful Boiling water will help dissolve any final sugar residue

5 Break the brittle up and place it in a good processor Whiz it up until you get a breadcrumb mix Make sure any big lumps of solid sugar are broken up to protect your teeth later

6 Melt the chocolate in a microwave then stir it into your almond brittle crumbs Stir really well then either tip it back onto your baking sheet in one big slab press it into moulds or spoon into circles Chill then enjoy

Ingredients

Method1 Traditionally carbonara uses guanciale and pecorino romano However since it

may be difficult to obtain such ingredients we sometimes use grated parmesan cheese (instead of the pecorino) and pancetta (or very rarely bacon) instead of the guanciale

2 First boil the spaghetti until cooked3 In the meantime combine the cheese egg yolks whole egg and pepper in a large

bowl4 Next in a frying pan add the guanciale and the olive oil and stir fry over medium

heat until brown5 Pour 2frac12 ladles of pasta water into the frying pan with the guanciale (so frac12 a ladle

per serving 1 ladle per 200g of pasta) and let emulsify Once emulsified turn off the heat and allow the meat to cool down Once cooled mix it with the egg and cheese mixture

6 Once the pasta is cooked drain the water and toss it in a strainer so it cools down Then combine the pasta with the egg guanciale and cheese mixture

Sonia

Ingredients

Method1 Prepare a heat proof baking tray by lining it with parchment paper and I also

recommend you have a washing up bowl filled with hot soapy water ready before you begin (top tip)

2 Put the sugar in a heavy saucepan (I used a ceramic Le Creuset) and heat over a medium high heat stirring occasionally and gently until the sugar melts

3 When the sugar is all melted and a golden dark brown in colour pour in your almonds stir well and confidently then tip the mixture onto your baking tray

4 While the brittle cools clean down your pan and wooden spoon before the sugar hardens Itrsquos super hot so be careful Boiling water will help dissolve any final sugar residue

5 Break the brittle up and place it in a good processor Whiz it up until you get a breadcrumb mix Make sure any big lumps of solid sugar are broken up to protect your teeth later

6 Melt the chocolate in a microwave then stir it into your almond brittle crumbs Stir really well then either tip it back onto your baking sheet in one big slab press it into moulds or spoon into circles Chill then enjoy

Ingredients

Method1 Traditionally carbonara uses guanciale and pecorino romano However since it

may be difficult to obtain such ingredients we sometimes use grated parmesan cheese (instead of the pecorino) and pancetta (or very rarely bacon) instead of the guanciale

2 First boil the spaghetti until cooked3 In the meantime combine the cheese egg yolks whole egg and pepper in a large

bowl4 Next in a frying pan add the guanciale and the olive oil and stir fry over medium

heat until brown5 Pour 2frac12 ladles of pasta water into the frying pan with the guanciale (so frac12 a ladle

per serving 1 ladle per 200g of pasta) and let emulsify Once emulsified turn off the heat and allow the meat to cool down Once cooled mix it with the egg and cheese mixture

6 Once the pasta is cooked drain the water and toss it in a strainer so it cools down Then combine the pasta with the egg guanciale and cheese mixture

Ingredients

Method1 Prepare a heat proof baking tray by lining it with parchment paper and I also

recommend you have a washing up bowl filled with hot soapy water ready before you begin (top tip)

2 Put the sugar in a heavy saucepan (I used a ceramic Le Creuset) and heat over a medium high heat stirring occasionally and gently until the sugar melts

3 When the sugar is all melted and a golden dark brown in colour pour in your almonds stir well and confidently then tip the mixture onto your baking tray

4 While the brittle cools clean down your pan and wooden spoon before the sugar hardens Itrsquos super hot so be careful Boiling water will help dissolve any final sugar residue

5 Break the brittle up and place it in a good processor Whiz it up until you get a breadcrumb mix Make sure any big lumps of solid sugar are broken up to protect your teeth later

6 Melt the chocolate in a microwave then stir it into your almond brittle crumbs Stir really well then either tip it back onto your baking sheet in one big slab press it into moulds or spoon into circles Chill then enjoy

at least an hour Then heat for 15 minutes but donrsquot boil If you taste it should already taste delicious This is such an important part of the recipe and gives the umami taste

2 Cut the veg into similar sized pieces This is important in zen cooking As it allows the veg to cook for the minimum amount of time and retain nutrients Add a few squares of medium or firm tofu You can use a soft tofu but add at the last minute or it will crumble

3 Simmer the veg in the Dashi until cooked Only use just enough to cover the veg to help retain the nutrients of the vegetables Donrsquot overcook they should still have some bite Add soy sauce to taste if using

Ingredients

Method1 Traditionally carbonara uses guanciale and pecorino romano However since it

may be difficult to obtain such ingredients we sometimes use grated parmesan cheese (instead of the pecorino) and pancetta (or very rarely bacon) instead of the guanciale

2 First boil the spaghetti until cooked3 In the meantime combine the cheese egg yolks whole egg and pepper in a large

bowl4 Next in a frying pan add the guanciale and the olive oil and stir fry over medium

heat until brown5 Pour 2frac12 ladles of pasta water into the frying pan with the guanciale (so frac12 a ladle

per serving 1 ladle per 200g of pasta) and let emulsify Once emulsified turn off the heat and allow the meat to cool down Once cooled mix it with the egg and cheese mixture

6 Once the pasta is cooked drain the water and toss it in a strainer so it cools down Then combine the pasta with the egg guanciale and cheese mixture

Sonia

Ingredients

Method1 Prepare a heat proof baking tray by lining it with parchment paper and I also

recommend you have a washing up bowl filled with hot soapy water ready before you begin (top tip)

2 Put the sugar in a heavy saucepan (I used a ceramic Le Creuset) and heat over a medium high heat stirring occasionally and gently until the sugar melts

3 When the sugar is all melted and a golden dark brown in colour pour in your almonds stir well and confidently then tip the mixture onto your baking tray

4 While the brittle cools clean down your pan and wooden spoon before the sugar hardens Itrsquos super hot so be careful Boiling water will help dissolve any final sugar residue

5 Break the brittle up and place it in a good processor Whiz it up until you get a breadcrumb mix Make sure any big lumps of solid sugar are broken up to protect your teeth later

6 Melt the chocolate in a microwave then stir it into your almond brittle crumbs Stir really well then either tip it back onto your baking sheet in one big slab press it into moulds or spoon into circles Chill then enjoy

at least an hour Then heat for 15 minutes but donrsquot boil If you taste it should already taste delicious This is such an important part of the recipe and gives the umami taste

2 Cut the veg into similar sized pieces This is important in zen cooking As it allows the veg to cook for the minimum amount of time and retain nutrients Add a few squares of medium or firm tofu You can use a soft tofu but add at the last minute or it will crumble

3 Simmer the veg in the Dashi until cooked Only use just enough to cover the veg to help retain the nutrients of the vegetables Donrsquot overcook they should still have some bite Add soy sauce to taste if using

Sonia

Ingredients

Method1 Prepare a heat proof baking tray by lining it with parchment paper and I also

recommend you have a washing up bowl filled with hot soapy water ready before you begin (top tip)

2 Put the sugar in a heavy saucepan (I used a ceramic Le Creuset) and heat over a medium high heat stirring occasionally and gently until the sugar melts

3 When the sugar is all melted and a golden dark brown in colour pour in your almonds stir well and confidently then tip the mixture onto your baking tray

4 While the brittle cools clean down your pan and wooden spoon before the sugar hardens Itrsquos super hot so be careful Boiling water will help dissolve any final sugar residue

5 Break the brittle up and place it in a good processor Whiz it up until you get a breadcrumb mix Make sure any big lumps of solid sugar are broken up to protect your teeth later

6 Melt the chocolate in a microwave then stir it into your almond brittle crumbs Stir really well then either tip it back onto your baking sheet in one big slab press it into moulds or spoon into circles Chill then enjoy

Method1 Prepare the Dashi stock by washing and then soaking the shiitake and kombu for

at least an hour Then heat for 15 minutes but donrsquot boil If you taste it should already taste delicious This is such an important part of the recipe and gives the umami taste

2 Cut the veg into similar sized pieces This is important in zen cooking As it allows the veg to cook for the minimum amount of time and retain nutrients Add a few squares of medium or firm tofu You can use a soft tofu but add at the last minute or it will crumble

3 Simmer the veg in the Dashi until cooked Only use just enough to cover the veg to help retain the nutrients of the vegetables Donrsquot overcook they should still have some bite Add soy sauce to taste if using

the chicken until well browned and caramelised2 Add the garlic and fry for a minute or two3 Add the grated tomato and cook down until it becomes thick and coats all the

chicken4 Next add the green beans and fry for a few minutes untill the start to take some

colour5 At this point you can add the rice and fry for a few minutes6 Add the paprikas and the saffron7 Now add the chicken stock Taste and season well with salt Add more salt than

you think you will need as the rice will reduce reduce the saltiness of the stock8 Add the rosemary and bring to the boil and then reduce the heat to minimum9 From now on dont touch it Stand by it for the next 15 to 20 minutes Remove the

rosemary and keep cooking untill the rice is cooked through and you start to smell burning coming from the center of the pan This is normal and you want it as this is what we call sucrado Its one of the distinguishing factors of traditional paella

10 At this point you wan to take it off the heat lay some more rosemary on top and cover with foil

Sonia

Ingredients

Method1 Prepare a heat proof baking tray by lining it with parchment paper and I also

recommend you have a washing up bowl filled with hot soapy water ready before you begin (top tip)

2 Put the sugar in a heavy saucepan (I used a ceramic Le Creuset) and heat over a medium high heat stirring occasionally and gently until the sugar melts

3 When the sugar is all melted and a golden dark brown in colour pour in your almonds stir well and confidently then tip the mixture onto your baking tray

4 While the brittle cools clean down your pan and wooden spoon before the sugar hardens Itrsquos super hot so be careful Boiling water will help dissolve any final sugar residue

5 Break the brittle up and place it in a good processor Whiz it up until you get a breadcrumb mix Make sure any big lumps of solid sugar are broken up to protect your teeth later

6 Melt the chocolate in a microwave then stir it into your almond brittle crumbs Stir really well then either tip it back onto your baking sheet in one big slab press it into moulds or spoon into circles Chill then enjoy

really quick and it should not be overcooked No more than 4 minutes See packaging instructions

2 Drain the water and immediately rinse it with cold water until its completely cold Drain it and put it in a large bowl

3 Make the omelettes They should be thin ones to be rolled and sliced4 Use a slicer for the carrots and the cucumber I have a Benriner and its great

because it has interchangeable blades and also adjustable to make very thin slices5 Separate the stripes of the kanikama it doesnt need to be perfect Add the carrots

the cucumber the omelette and the kanikama to the noodles6 Dilute the sugar in the vinegar Season the salad with the vinegar soy sauce and

toasted sesame oil Mix it well with your hands This bit is quite messy but I havent found a better way yet I sometimes use gloves but I dont mind washing my hands after its all part of the fun Enjoy

Method1 Prepare the Dashi stock by washing and then soaking the shiitake and kombu for

at least an hour Then heat for 15 minutes but donrsquot boil If you taste it should already taste delicious This is such an important part of the recipe and gives the umami taste

2 Cut the veg into similar sized pieces This is important in zen cooking As it allows the veg to cook for the minimum amount of time and retain nutrients Add a few squares of medium or firm tofu You can use a soft tofu but add at the last minute or it will crumble

3 Simmer the veg in the Dashi until cooked Only use just enough to cover the veg to help retain the nutrients of the vegetables Donrsquot overcook they should still have some bite Add soy sauce to taste if using

Sonia

Ingredients

Method1 Prepare a heat proof baking tray by lining it with parchment paper and I also

recommend you have a washing up bowl filled with hot soapy water ready before you begin (top tip)

2 Put the sugar in a heavy saucepan (I used a ceramic Le Creuset) and heat over a medium high heat stirring occasionally and gently until the sugar melts

3 When the sugar is all melted and a golden dark brown in colour pour in your almonds stir well and confidently then tip the mixture onto your baking tray

4 While the brittle cools clean down your pan and wooden spoon before the sugar hardens Itrsquos super hot so be careful Boiling water will help dissolve any final sugar residue

5 Break the brittle up and place it in a good processor Whiz it up until you get a breadcrumb mix Make sure any big lumps of solid sugar are broken up to protect your teeth later

6 Melt the chocolate in a microwave then stir it into your almond brittle crumbs Stir really well then either tip it back onto your baking sheet in one big slab press it into moulds or spoon into circles Chill then enjoy

at least an hour Then heat for 15 minutes but donrsquot boil If you taste it should already taste delicious This is such an important part of the recipe and gives the umami taste

2 Cut the veg into similar sized pieces This is important in zen cooking As it allows the veg to cook for the minimum amount of time and retain nutrients Add a few squares of medium or firm tofu You can use a soft tofu but add at the last minute or it will crumble

3 Simmer the veg in the Dashi until cooked Only use just enough to cover the veg to help retain the nutrients of the vegetables Donrsquot overcook they should still have some bite Add soy sauce to taste if using

Ingredients

Method1 Prepare a heat proof baking tray by lining it with parchment paper and I also

recommend you have a washing up bowl filled with hot soapy water ready before you begin (top tip)

2 Put the sugar in a heavy saucepan (I used a ceramic Le Creuset) and heat over a medium high heat stirring occasionally and gently until the sugar melts

3 When the sugar is all melted and a golden dark brown in colour pour in your almonds stir well and confidently then tip the mixture onto your baking tray

4 While the brittle cools clean down your pan and wooden spoon before the sugar hardens Itrsquos super hot so be careful Boiling water will help dissolve any final sugar residue

5 Break the brittle up and place it in a good processor Whiz it up until you get a breadcrumb mix Make sure any big lumps of solid sugar are broken up to protect your teeth later

6 Melt the chocolate in a microwave then stir it into your almond brittle crumbs Stir really well then either tip it back onto your baking sheet in one big slab press it into moulds or spoon into circles Chill then enjoy

at least an hour Then heat for 15 minutes but donrsquot boil If you taste it should already taste delicious This is such an important part of the recipe and gives the umami taste

2 Cut the veg into similar sized pieces This is important in zen cooking As it allows the veg to cook for the minimum amount of time and retain nutrients Add a few squares of medium or firm tofu You can use a soft tofu but add at the last minute or it will crumble

3 Simmer the veg in the Dashi until cooked Only use just enough to cover the veg to help retain the nutrients of the vegetables Donrsquot overcook they should still have some bite Add soy sauce to taste if using

at least an hour Then heat for 15 minutes but donrsquot boil If you taste it should already taste delicious This is such an important part of the recipe and gives the umami taste

2 Cut the veg into similar sized pieces This is important in zen cooking As it allows the veg to cook for the minimum amount of time and retain nutrients Add a few squares of medium or firm tofu You can use a soft tofu but add at the last minute or it will crumble

3 Simmer the veg in the Dashi until cooked Only use just enough to cover the veg to help retain the nutrients of the vegetables Donrsquot overcook they should still have some bite Add soy sauce to taste if using

at least an hour Then heat for 15 minutes but donrsquot boil If you taste it should already taste delicious This is such an important part of the recipe and gives the umami taste

2 Cut the veg into similar sized pieces This is important in zen cooking As it allows the veg to cook for the minimum amount of time and retain nutrients Add a few squares of medium or firm tofu You can use a soft tofu but add at the last minute or it will crumble

3 Simmer the veg in the Dashi until cooked Only use just enough to cover the veg to help retain the nutrients of the vegetables Donrsquot overcook they should still have some bite Add soy sauce to taste if using

Method1 Prepare the Dashi stock by washing and then soaking the shiitake and kombu for

at least an hour Then heat for 15 minutes but donrsquot boil If you taste it should already taste delicious This is such an important part of the recipe and gives the umami taste

2 Cut the veg into similar sized pieces This is important in zen cooking As it allows the veg to cook for the minimum amount of time and retain nutrients Add a few squares of medium or firm tofu You can use a soft tofu but add at the last minute or it will crumble

3 Simmer the veg in the Dashi until cooked Only use just enough to cover the veg to help retain the nutrients of the vegetables Donrsquot overcook they should still have some bite Add soy sauce to taste if using
