I make a big batch of the chicken wing gravy each year, and adapt it depending on what meat we are having. I have around 20 of his books and they're used more than any of my others. The ones I don't have are the ones that are more back to basics, that would be a bit too simplistic for what I need. I have the new one on order, so looking forward to seeing what's in that.The sticky toffee pudding recipe was amazing.
My faves are the curry paste recipes I think from ministry of food as they were so easy to make and when the book came out I had just left uni and started working and I didn’t know how to make anything other than Chinese style curry so they were a great starting point. I have moved on to following actual Indian chefs in more recent years but at that time it was really simple to follow.
I loved his Christmas book/show. The chicken wing stock worked really well for me, I’ve read a few people say they didn’t like it but mine was great and much needed for the gallons of gravy my family go through at Christmas
At least he washes his fucking hands!Oh and not from the book but from his FREE internet I use his roast cooking times, gravy and also roast potatoes.
We watch the tv shows and decide on basis of faffiness - whether we want to try making them ourselves. Was fun the latest ones seeing inside the big house, although I think he was at one point cooking in the butlers pantry to make it look smaller and less mansion.
One thing that irritates Mr V is how messy he is, always spilling things, or scattering stuff from a great height and getting it everywhere. I suppose it’s dynamic but we consider the state of the hob.
Same, have high hopes for the new book, one pan meals make life so much easier for me.Thanks for the thread - I am a big fan and eager await Monday as I adore a one pot / pan dish!
I watched a couple of episodes last week of the original series. He was much less polished than he is now but how much he has grown and developed as a presenter is fantastic. Unlike some other people!Can I just say how much that first series was? When he made stuff for Jools and the band and it was all so innocent.
