Pub grub: Three recipes from Tom Kerridge’s new cookbook
Pub grub: Three recipes from Tom Kerridge’s new cookbook
These warming and hearty pot pies are filled with succulent chicken, chestnut mushrooms and artichokes in a delicious creamy sauce flavoured with mustard,” says Tom Kerridge. “The filling takes a bit of time, but it’s well worth it once you break into that crispy pastry topping and see all your efforts inside!” Chicken and mushroom pot pies Serves: 4 Ingredients: 750g chicken thigh fillets 500ml chicken stock 5 black peppercorns 4 sprigs of thyme 2 bay leaves 2 tbsp olive oil 200g baby chestnut mushrooms, halved 2 banana shallots, finely diced 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped 150g chargrilled artichoke hearts, quartered 50g butter 50g plain flour, plus extra to dust 1 tsp Dijon mustard 1 tsp wholegrain mustard 1 tbsp tarragon, finely chopped 100ml crème fraîche 1 tbsp sherry vinegar 500g packet ready-made puff pastry 1 large free-range egg, lightly beaten with a pinch of salt Salt and freshly ground pepper Method: 1. To cook the chicken thigh fillets, put the chicken stock, peppercorns, thyme and bay leaves into a medium saucepan over a high heat and bring to a simmer. Add the chicken thighs, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is tender. 2. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a frying pan, add the mushrooms and cook for two minutes. Add the shallots and garlic, stir and cook for three to four minutes or until softened. Remove from the heat, stir in the artichokes and set aside. Remove the chicken thighs from the stock and set aside on a tray. Strain the stock. Leave both to cool slightly. 3. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a saucepan, stir in the flour and cook for two minutes. Now gradually whisk in the chicken stock and continue to whisk over a medium heat until the sauce thickens. Stir in both mustards, the chopped tarragon, crème fraîche and sherry vinegar, then the mushroom mix. 4. Cut the poached chicken into bite-sized pieces and fold through the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste and leave to cool slightly. Divide the pie filling between four individual pie dishes and place in the fridge to chill. 5. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface to a 5mm thickness. Cut out four rounds, two centimetres wider than your pie dishes. Brush the edges with egg, then lay a pastry round, egg-washed edge down, over each pie dish. Brush the tops with egg wash and rest in the fridge for 20 minutes. 6. Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Cut a couple of slits in the top of each pastry lid, to let steam escape during cooking. Bake the pies for 30 minutes or until the pastry is crisp and deep golden brown. Let stand for a few minutes before serving, with a green veg and mash on the side if you like. Paneer and pea fritters “These spicy, rustic-looking nibbles are my take on South Asian fried street food,” says Kerridge. “Flavoured with chaat masala (a slightly tangy spice blend), the fritters are made with protein-rich paneer and gram (chickpea) flour, which adds a nutty, earthy flavour. They need little else other than mango chutney for dipping, and a cold drink to wash them down!” Makes: about 24 Ingredients: Vegetable oil, to fry 1 tsp cumin seeds 1 onion, finely chopped 150g frozen peas, defrosted 1 green chilli, deseeded and finely sliced 175g gram flour 1 tsp chaat masala 3 tbsp finely chopped coriander leaves 250g paneer, coarsely grated Salt and freshly ground pepper To serve: Mango chutney Method: 1. Heat two tablespoons of oil in a small frying pan then add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds before adding the onion. Cook for five to seven minutes until the onion is softened, then remove from the heat and leave to cool. Preheat the oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 2. 2. Once cooled, tip the onion and cumin mix into a bowl and add the peas, chilli, gram flour, chaat masala and chopped coriander. Stir to combine and season well with salt and pepper. Pour in 200 millilitres of water and mix well. Add the grated paneer and stir through gently. 3. You will need to cook the fritters in three or four batches. Heat a 4-5cm depth of oil in a sauté pan to 180C (check with a thermometer). When it is hot, drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the hot oil, spacing them apart. Cook for two to three minutes on each side or until golden and crispy. 4. Remove the fritters from the pan with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper. Keep warm in the low oven while you cook the rest. 5. Once they are all cooked, season the fritters with a little extra salt and serve with mango chutney and lime wedges on the side. Sticky date and banana pudding “This naughty, boozy pud is one of our pub classics,” says Kerridge. “Sticky, caramelised bananas shine alongside a sweet date pudding, and the easy-to-make toffee sauce served alongside takes it to another level of indulgence.” Serves: 4 Ingredients: 1 tbsp softened butter, to grease the dishes 100g plain white flour, plus 1 tbsp to dust 100ml dark rum 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda 150g pitted dates, chopped 85g vegetable suet 85g soft dark brown sugar 1 tsp vanilla extract 2 large free-range eggs For the toffee sauce: 200ml double cream 100g soft dark brown sugar 75g butter A small pinch of salt To finish: 2 small bananas 2 tbsp demerara sugar Method: 1. Brush four individual ovenproof dishes (250 millilitre capacity) with the softened butter and dust lightly with flour, shaking out any excess. 2. Pour the rum and 100 millilitres of water into a saucepan and bring to the boil, then take off the heat and add the bicarbonate of soda and dates. Pop a lid on the pan and leave to stand for 10–15 minutes to allow the dates to soak up the liquid and cool down. 3. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. 4. Tip the dates and liquid into a large bowl and add the flour, suet, brown sugar, vanilla extract and eggs. Beat until evenly combined. Spoon the mixture into the prepared dishes and bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes until golden brown. 5. Meanwhile, to make the toffee sauce, pour the cream into a saucepan and add the brown sugar, butter and salt. Place over a low heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved, then bring to the boil. Simmer for two to three minutes, then remove from the heat. 6. Peel and thinly slice the bananas. Once you’ve removed the puddings from the oven, arrange the banana slices, overlapping, around the edge of each dish. Sprinkle the banana slices liberally with demerara sugar and run a cook’s blowtorch over them to caramelise the sugar. 7. Serve the date and banana puddings with the toffee sauce in a jug on the side. ‘Pub Kitchen’ by Tom Kerridge (Bloomsbury Absolute, £27).

Bride shocks wedding guests with McDonald’s catering
Bride shocks wedding guests with McDonald’s catering
One bride wanted to make sure her wedding guests were lovin’ the special day. Stephanie Arielle, known for her wedding content on TikTok, recently posted about her decision to have McDonald’s cater her wedding for the low price of just over $200. “We had 75 guests total and we ordered 100 chicken McNuggets, 25 junior chickens [a grilled chicken burger], 25 cheeseburgers and 50 small fries,” she said in an interview with Newsweek. Text across the screen of her video explains that the McDonald’s was only a midnight snack and not the actual food for the ceremony. “If you want a midnight snack at your wedding but don’t wanna get your guests off the dance floor, you’re gonna wanna hear this tip,” she said in her TikTok. “The best way to keep your guests dancing all night long is to either pass your midnight snack or put the table right at the edge of the dance floor. We did this with McDonald’s and it worked amazing. Highly recommend.” Many people loved the idea and joked in the comments section about how they wanted to do something similar at their own wedding. Others, however, assumed the McDonald’s would be cold by the time it arrived and commented on how cold fast food never tastes good. “Never cold McDonald’s,” one viewer commented, with another sarcastically writing, “Yum cold McDonald’s.” @stephanie.arielle McDonalds as a midnight snack is always a great idea 🍟🍔🤭 #midnightsnack #mcdonaldswedding #weddingtips ♬ greedy - Tate McRae One commenter wanted to know how Arielle managed to get such a large order to her wedding venue. “Okay but seriously what were the logistics of this? Did you Uber Eats? Did someone go get them from your wedding party? I want to do this.” Arielle responded in a video explaining the planning process. “We started off by researching McDonalds’ that were close by to our venue because we wanted the food to arrive hot,” she began her TikTok. @stephanie.arielle Replying to @Eli #greenscreen #greenscreenvideo the logistics of our mcdonalds late night snack 🍔🍟😋 #midnightsnack #mcdonaldswedding #weddingtips ♬ greedy - Tate McRae “We ended up finding one that was less than 10 minutes away, so we went in to speak to the manager about a month before our wedding. We told him exactly what we wanted.” This included making sure the food arrived at 11 pm. The manager responded by saying he would make sure to have enough staff that day and would deliver the food personally himself. He put the food in smaller packages than normal to make them easier to grab and go on the dance floor. The couple then confirmed with the fast food restaurant the week before the wedding and put a serving table right next to the dance floor. Since first being posted on 6 October, the TikTok has received over three million views. Many people commented on the follow-up video too, mentioning how impressed they were with both the idea itself and how nice the restaurant’s manager was. “I don’t drink but having McDonald’s fries while drunk sounds incredible,” one commenter wrote. “He did amazing! I hope you tipped him well,” another commenter pointed out. “When we were looking for a late night snack, we immediately thought of McDonald’s," Arielle said to Newsweek. “It’s our favorite guilty pleasure food and we know that everyone loves a burger or some nuggets once they’ve had a few drinks.” The Independent has reached out to Arielle for comment.

From Nepal to Tibet: Eight warming dishes from the coldest places on earth
From Nepal to Tibet: Eight warming dishes from the coldest places on earth
As the frosty embrace of winter draws near, our kitchens beckon with the promise of heartwarming dishes to fend off the cold. With that in mind, we present a selection of eight soul-soothing recipes from Cooks&Co and Maldon Salt that will turn your winter evenings into cosy culinary adventures. From succulent roast chicken adorned with leeks and peppers to a fragrant Gorkhali lamb curry that transports you to distant lands, our collection spans the globe to bring you a taste of winter from various cultures. There’s no resisting the allure of herby goats cheese and porcini risotto, or the lingering aroma of slow-cooked Asian beef, where tender morsels of meat mingle with a tantalisingly spiced sauce. Whether you’re seeking the fiery embrace of a chicken momo with tomato chilli chutney, the smoky allure of pork sosaties, or the vibrant medley of flavors in chakalaka, our recipes offer something for every palate. These dishes are not just sustenance; they’re a celebration of the season. Roast chicken with leeks and peppers Prep time: 15 mins | Cooking time: 1 hour and 15 mins Ingredients: 4 leeks, trimmed and roughly chopped 5 garlic cloves, finely sliced 400g pack baby onions, peeled Few sprigs fresh rosemary Few fresh thyme stalks 1 bay leaf Sea Salt and freshly ground black pepper Handful of Cooks&Co green olives 1 tbsp olive oil 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar Generous splash of white wine 1 tbsp runny honey 1 whole chicken, jointed or chicken thighs 460g jar Cooks&Co roasted red peppers, drained and roughly chopped Gorgonzola for topping (optional, but delicious!) Handful of fresh flat leaf parsley, chopped for serving Method: 1.

Drizzle with the olive oil and season well. 2. Mix together the balsamic, white wine and honey. Put the chicken pieces in a large bowl, pour over the balsamic mix and using your hands combine well. Now tuck the chicken pieces in and around the leeks. Pour over remaining juice then put it in the oven for 40 mins. 3. Remove from oven and stir though the peppers, return it to the oven and cook for about a further 20 mins until the chicken is cooked through and the onions are tender. Check on the chicken occasionally and if it beginning to get too brown, cover the tray loosely with foil. If using, scatter over some gorgonzola for the last 5 min of cooking or until it begins to melt. Garnish with parsley to serve. Herby goats cheese and porcini risotto Serves: 2 Prep time: 10 mins | Cooking time: 20 mins Ingredients: 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 200g mushrooms, sliced 1 clove garlic, crushed 190g pack Cooks & Co Porcini Mushroom Risotto 150ml white wine 500ml vegetable stock 75g Cooks & Co Sweety Drop Peppers 1 knob butter 25g parmesan, finely grated 1 tbsp chopped chives 1 tbsp chopped parsley 50g soft goat’s cheese Method: 1.

Stir in the sweety drop peppers, butter and Parmesan, the sprinkle in the herbs crumble in the goat’s cheese but just allow to melt without stirring before serving. Cooks tip: Try swapping the goat’s cheese for mascarpone or cream cheese. Slow-cooked Asian flavoured beef Prep time: 10 mins | Cooking time:4 hours (or 8 hours on low in a slow cooker) Ingredients: Cooks&Co dried mixed forest mushrooms 400g can Cooks&Co lotus root, drained and rinsed 1 tbsp olive oil 2kg boned, rolled brisket, tied with string (ask at the butcher counter) 1 tbsp olive oil 5 cm piece of fresh ginger, peeled and finely sliced 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped 3 star anise 1 tsp Sichuan peppercorns, ground 1 tsp five spice powder 3 tbsp hoisin sauce 4 tbsp Shaoxing wine or use dry sherry 4 tbsp light soy sauce 500ml beef stock Juice of 2 oranges 2 x 180g bags kale, any tough stalks removed 2 tbsp light soy sauce 1 tbsp runny honey Pink peppercorns, roughly ground for topping (optional) Method: 1. Add the mushrooms to a bowl, cover with boiling water and leave to soak for 30 mins. Preheat the oven to gas 3/160C (140C fan oven) Heat the oil in a large heavy oven proof casserole pot, add the meat, season well and cook for a few mins each side until lightly browned, then remove it and put it to one side. 2. Add the ginger and garlic to the pan and cook for a couple of mins, don’t let the garlic get brown. Then stir in the star anise, Sichuan pepper and 5 spice, stir then add the hoisin, soy sauce and Shaoxing wine and bubble gently for a minute. Drain the mushrooms and add, reserving the juice, then pass the juice through a sieve to remove any grit and add this to the pot. Pour in the stock and add the orange juice then return the meat to the pot. Ladle over the juices. Put the lid on and put it in the oven for about 4 hours, or until meat is really tender when poked with a knife. Check it occasionally and if it is drying out at all, top up with a little hot water as you go. 3. Towards the end of cooking, steam the kale, either in a steamer or sit the kale in a metal colander, cover with a lid, and sit it over a pan of simmering water, cook for about 6-8 mins until tender. Add this to the brisket for the last 10 mins of cooking, stirring it to combine with the sauce. 4. To braise the lotus roots, in a small non-stick frying pan, add the soy sauce and honey then tip in the lotus roots, stir to combine then let the liquid bubble for a few minutes to coat, give it a stir then spoon them over the beef to serve. To serve the meat, slice, removing the string as you go. Sprinkle with pink peppercorns if using. Tip:This makes an easy Sunday lunch served with roasties or mash potato or serve with rice. Any leftover beef, is great, shredded into a bun or wrap. Gorkhali lamb curry Serves: 4 Prep time: 10 minutes | Cook time: 1 hour 15 minutes Ingredients: 1 tbsp vegetable oil 1 large red onion, diced 4 cloves 1 inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and grated 3 large garlic cloves, grated 1 cinnamon stick 1 bay leaf 3 cardamom pods, lightly crushed 750g lamb shoulder, cut into large chunks 3 large vine tomatoes, diced 1 tbsp garam masala 1 tsp fenugreek 2 tsp turmeric powder 1 tsp chilli flakes 1 tsp of Himalayan Pink Salt, selected by Maldon 1 litre lamb stock or water Chopped coriander, to serve Method: Start by heating the vegetable oil in a large casserole dish. Add the red onion and fry until softened, then add the cloves, ginger, garlic, cinnamon, bay and cardamon pods and fry for another few minutes until smelling fragrant. Next add the lamb pieces and cook in the spices and onion until it browns on all sides – the longer you brown it the more caramelisation you will get on the meat and the deeper the flavour. Once the meat is nicely browned all over, add the diced tomatoes followed by the garam masala, fenugreek, turmeric, chilli flakes and Himalayan Pink Salt. Stir everything together so it is all well coated and allow it to sizzle and fry for 5 minutes, so the tomato breaks down. Add the lamb stock or water and bring to the boil. Then reduce to a low simmer and allow it to bubble away for 1 hour. Keep an eye on it and if it needs some more liquid then top it up. After an hour the sauce should be thickened and the lamb tender. Serve the curry topped with chopped coriander and alongside some steamed turmeric rice and warm roti flatbreads. Chicken momos with tomato chilli chutney Makes: 15 momos Prep time: 30 minutes | Cook time: 20 minutes Ingredients: 200g plain flour Pinch of Maldon salt 5 tsp sunflower oil 100ml water 180g chicken mince 3 garlic cloves, grated 1 inch piece of ginger, grated 2 spring onions, finely chopped 1 green chilli, finely chopped 1 stick of lemongrass, woody outer leaves removed and then finely chopped Small handful of coriander, finely chopped Small handful of mint, finely chopped Pinch of Himalayan Pink Salt, selected by Maldon For the tomato chilli sauce: 3 large vine tomatoes, roughly chopped 2 whole dried red chilli 3 garlic cloves 500ml water 1 tsp soy ½ tsp caster sugar Pinch of Himalayan Pink Salt, selected by Maldon Method: Start by making the dough for the Momos. In a large bowl add the flour and a pinch of Himalayan Pink Salt. Add the oil and mix it in well. Next add the water and mix it well with your hands until combined and the dough feels smooth. Cover the bowl with clingfilm or a tea towel and set aside. Next make your filling. In a bowl mix together the chicken mince, garlic, ginger, spring onions, green chilli, lemongrass, chopped coriander and mint and Himalayan Pink Salt. Mix well until evenly distributed. Now start on the sauce. In a large pan add the tomatoes, dried chillies and garlic cloves and pour over the water. Place it onto the heat and bring the water to the boil. Simmer the tomatoes for 5 – 8 minutes until they soften and break down, and the dried chillies have also softened. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly before placing in a high-powered blender along with the soy, caster sugar and pinch of Himalayan salt and blitzing until smooth. Set aside to serve later. Now you can shape your Momo’s. Divide the dough into 15 equal balls. Lightly dust the work surface and then use a rolling pin to roll each ball into a circle as thin as you can. Lift the circle and place it into the palm of your hand. Spoon in about 1-2 tsp amount of the filling. Then use your fingers to lift the sides of the dough to enclose the filling and pinch in a pleating action all the way around until you have a spiral. Pinch the dough in the middle of this to make sure it is fully sealed – it will look like a little moneybag. Continue with the rest of the balls and using the filling until you have all your shaped Momo’s. Prepare your bamboo steamers with some greaseproof paper in the layers and place them onto a pan with an inch of simmering water. Steam the Momo’s on the layers for approximately 10 minutes. Serve the Momo’s warm with some sliced spring onions scattered over and the tomato chilli chutney for dipping. Pork sosaties Makes: 6 Prep time: 15 minutes, plus 30 minutes marinating | Cook time: 15 minutes Ingredients: 1kg pork fillet, cut into 3cm cubes 3 large onions, cut into wedges 3 green peppers, chopped into chunks 18 dried apricots 18 bay leaves 4 lemons, cut in half 3 tbsp olive oil 6 wooden skewers, soaked in water For the braai marinade: 1 tsp cayenne 2 tsp curry powder 1 tsp cumin powder 1 tsp ground coriander 3 garlic cloves, grated 1 tsp Dijon mustard 1 tsp Kalahari Desert Salt, selected by Maldon Cracked black pepper 5 tbsp olive oil Method: Begin by making the Braai marinade. Mix the spices, grated garlic, mustard, Kalahari Desert Salt, and black pepper with the olive oil in a large bowl. Then add the pork pieces and mix so they are well coated. Cover the bowl with clingfilm and place in the fridge for 30 minutes to marinade (you can do this the day before if you would like to get ahead). After the meat has marinaded, it is time to assemble the skewers. Place 3 tbsp olive oil in a bowl and add the onion wedges, green pepper, apricots, and bay leaves – toss them so they are all lightly coated (this will help avoid any burning on the Braai). Thread pieces of the meat on to wooden skewers and then alternate between the other ingredients and more pieces of meat until you have 6 full skewers. Place the skewers on the hot BBQ or Braai and griddle then for 5 minutes on each side until cooked through and lightly charred in places. At the same time, place the lemon halves on too and allow them to charr. Serve the skewers immediately along with the charred lemon squeezed on top. Chakalaka Serves: 4 as a side dish Prep time: 5 minutes | Cook time: 15 minutes Ingredients: 3 tbsp olive oil 1 large onion, finely chopped 3 garlic cloves, crushed 1 inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and grated 1 tbsp curry powder 1 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp cayenne 1 red pepper, diced 1 yellow pepper, diced 4 large carrots, washed and coarsely grated 2 tbsp tomato puree 400g tin chopped tomatoes 400g tin of cannellini beans, drained A small handful of thyme, leaves picked A pinch of Kalahari Desert Salt, selected by Maldon Cracked black pepper Method: Heat the oil in a large frying pan and then add the onion. Cook for a few minutes until it starts to soften and go translucent. Next add the garlic, ginger, curry powder, cumin and cayenne and fry for another minute. Add the diced peppers and cook for a couple of minutes to allow them to soften. Next add the grated carrot, tomato paste and tinned tomatoes. Mix it well so everything is well coated and allow it to cook for 5 – 10 minutes. Finally add the cannellini beans, fresh thyme and seasoning and allow it to bubble for a further 5 minutes. Check the seasoning and then serve. Mealie bread Serves: 8 people Prep time: 1 hour 45 minutes | Cook time: 35 minutes Ingredients: 280g plain flour 30g cornmeal 120ml milk 7g sachet of active dried yeast 1 tsp caster sugar 160g tinned sweetcorn (drained weight) 2 tsp Kalahari Desert Salt, selected by Maldon 2 tsp smoked paprika 1 tsp turmeric 50g melted, cooled butter 2 large eggs 1 tbsp sesame seeds Method: Place the plain flour and cornmeal in the bowl of a stand mixer and make a well in the middle. In a small bowl mix together 40ml of the milk, yeast and caster sugar and pour this into the well. Mix well. In a blender or food processor add the sweetcorn and remaining milk and blend until smooth. Next add the Kalahari Desert Salt, paprika, turmeric, cooled butter and eggs and whisk in. Tip the sweetcorn mix into the flour and mix with the dough hook attachment, kneading it for approximately 10 minutes. Cover the bowl with clingfilm and leave in a warm place for 1 hr until it has doubled in size. Line a 20cm springform cake tin with baking paper. Once the dough has doubled in size, transfer it to the prepared cake tin and smooth it out. Now allow it to rise for a second prove of 15 minutes again lightly covered in clingfilm. Preheat the oven to 180C fan. When the bread is ready to bake simply scatter over the sesame seeds and place into the hot oven for 30 – 35 minutes until risen, and lightly golden brown. You can check it is cooked through but inserting a toothpick or skewer and making sure it comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly, before removing from the tin and serving. It is best served still a little warm and can be toasted and topped with butter. A delicious side dish to the Chakalaka. Read More Obsessed with Boursin?
