elcome to issue 19 and another jam-packed edition. As Kitchen is now a biannual magazine, you won’t spot any Christmas themes (including the cover) but keep a look out for our coming gift guide which promises plenty of festive inspiration.

In this issue, we are proud to feature Dorset chef Mark Hix. Mark’s love of fresh, locally sourced produce is key to his popularity, and while he may be well known for fish recipes, his Mutton Chop Curry is a must-try dish. With fresh and sustainable ingredients in mind, we also bring you some top tips from the world of foraging.

In Happening At Harts (page 12), we celebrate winning Online Retailer of the Year Award at The Houseware Awards. Michael, our garden department manager, provides top tips while our coffee shop manager, Ben, contributes a special cake recipe to mark the first anniversary of our popular eatery, Harts Coffee Loft.

Although there’s been much to be thankful for this year, like many other businesses, we are facing unprecedented rises in everyday costs. From energy, freight, stock acquisition, even the paper this magazine is printed on, prices have risen dramatically. Our purchasing teams have been battling to keep costs down for our valued customers while continuing to provide a wide range of options across all budgets.

Superior quality, leaders in their field and good value are just a few of the factors the team look out for when sourcing new products (Orange Tree Wooden Toys, which feature on page 38, meet all these criteria as well as being fun and educational for little ones). At the same time, we are a Real Living Wage employer and believe in supporting our hard-working staff with a fair wage.

Batch cooking, slow cookers and efficient storage are all great ways to make savings and are covered in our Harts How To feature on page 48.

Our Kitchen Icon (page 33) is Magimix, who, over 50 years ago, introduced the first domestic food processor, changing the way we prepare meals forever.

A favourite with generations of chefs, their food processors have also been awarded the coveted Quiet Mark seal of approval.

We’ve revisited the wonderful world of coffee on page 39 and covered all your options for a great cuppa, while this issue’s competition gives you the chance to win a fantastic prize from Nordic Ware (page 55).

Our range of the issue (page 56 and featuring on our back cover additionally) is the beautifully designed new products from the new Mary Berry At Home range, which complements her existing tableware collection. Last, but certainly not least, the whimsical Herdy range is the focus of our Harts Love feature on page 66. This colourful and quirky range of novel everyday and gift lines is proving extremely popular in-store.

On a personal note, and on behalf of my whole family, we would like to thank everyone for their well wishes and support following the death of my father, Philip.

TIPS FROM THE TEAM Among the perks of being a member of the Harts of Stur team is being the first to see new products. Here, 4 members of staff tell us what they have their eye on this season MADDIE CONDUIT MARKETING ASSISTANT I love a great cup of barista-grade coffee and would love this Melitta Latticia F300-100 Frost Black Bean to Cup Coffee Machine. I can picture myself, cosying up under a blanket on the sofa at home with a roaring fire, big mug of coffee and a good horror film. Oh, and ideally a bowl of mixed sweet and salty popcorn!

Melitta Latticia F300-100 Frost Black Bean to Cup Coffee Machine RRP: £549.99 Harts Price: £489.00

CHARLOTTE LOBB GARDEN DEPARTMENT ASSISTANT As a dog owner and lover, I’m a big fan of the new Eleanor Bowmer pet products now on sale in our garden department.

There’s everything a pampered pooch or puss could want, all in fun and exciting prints and colours, from water bowls and food mats to this fabulous treat jar! My 2 dogs, a cocker spaniel and golden retriever, don’t care what their treats come in as long as they get them, but it will add fun to my kitchen!

KACEY-MAE AYERS SALES ASSISTANT I’ve been wanting a KitchenAid mixer for ages and although it comes in loads of great colour options, I’m seriously coveting this vibrant new beetroot shade! Like all KitchenAid mixers it comes with a selection of great accessories, and would do a fantastic job of whipping up my favourite sticky toffee pudding.

KELLY EVANS CUSTOMER SERVICES Although we are moving away from obvious BBQ weather, this BBQ and Press Grill is something I would use all year round and a worthwhile investment.

MICHAEL’S MUSTS

As the weather turns colder, our garden department manager, Michael, advises the following tips to get the most from your garden.

• Make notes of changes you may want to make to the garden next year whilst plants are still visible and flowering, as well as planning the seeds and bulbs you need.

• Bulbs and corms to plant in autumn to bring colour to your garden in spring will be available to buy from August onwards. However, tulips are best planted later in November as this reduces the risk of infection by fungal diseases.

• Lawn feeds used in spring and summer have higher nitrogen levels to encourage leafy growth which can be damaged by cold winter weather. Switching to an autumn feed strengthens roots rather than encouraging top growth and will help get your lawn

SAVVY SAVINGS With inflation rates at a 40-year high and the ever-spiralling cost of living, there can’t be many of us that aren’t feeling the effects on our finances. Our purchasing team have been working hard with our suppliers to limit price increases and to keep our prices as competitive as possible.

Of course, investing in quality kitchen equipment often saves you money in the long run, while batchcooking and freezing meals in advance is a great way of sticking to a budget. Turn to page 48 for more money-saving ideas.

It hasn’t been the easiest few years for anyone in the restaurant industry, but for restaurateur and acclaimed chef Mark Hix, it is a case of onwards and upwards

ho knows where Dorset-born Mark Hix might have ended up, had he chosen metalwork

classes at school?

Thankfully for food lovers, young Mark chose domestic science and quickly discovered he had a culinary flair, going on to become a celebrated restaurateur, chef and food writer.

“Me and my friends chose food science because we thought it would be a good place to meet girls,” admits Mark.

“We went to the first class and then found out that all the girls had chosen metalwork instead! So when I first started out, I didn’t know that I wanted to be a chef, but that’s the road I took simply by chance.”

Brought up in West Bay, on the edge of Bridport, Mark won a school prize for his dabblings in cookery before taking on a catering course at Weymouth College.

Inspired by a teacher, he moved to London at 18 to become commis chef in the Hilton’s staff canteen. His food education continued at the Grosvenor House Hotel and The Dorchester, working under illustrious names such as Anton Edelman and Anton Mosimann.

He made his first real mark at The Candlewick Room where, as head chef, he helped the eatery land a coveted Michelin award.

It was then onto the head chef’s position at Le Caprice restaurant before he eventually became chef director for Caprice Holdings, overseeing The Ivy and the company’s further expansion.

Branching out on his own after 17 years with the group, Mark began opening Hix restaurants in London’s City and West End, as well as Dorset. His long and tireless efforts have enriched the hospitality world and were duly rewarded with an MBE in the 2017 New Year Honours List.

Sadly, as for many in the same industry, just a couple of years later, Mark’s ambitions were thwarted by the sweeping Covid-19 pandemic.

“When the investors put Hix into administration without my support, it was a very difficult time for me and

my loyal team,” he explains. “I started from scratch, cashed in my pension and took on the Fish House from the administrators. To keep me going, I bought a truck on eBay to sell wet fish and seafood from. This in turn helped the fishermen sell their catch which was unable to be sold to the hotels and restaurants during lockdown as everything was closed. The challenges have continued. Everyone is feeling the struggle and with costs rising all the time, it’s not an easy industry to be in.”

Undeterred, in July 2020 he reopened The Oyster & Fish House in Lyme Regis, which has stunning views from one of his favourite spots in the country.

“I grew up in Dorset and I love being back here permanently. I have lived between London and Dorset since 2008 when I first opened my own restaurants, but I could never see myself moving back to London again. My friends are here, my business is here, and fishing is on my doorstep! What could be better?”

The author of no less than 12 cookbooks including HOOKED and British Seasonal Food, he is a regular columnist for publications including the Telegraph, Dorset Magazine and

Marshwood Vale. So what’s next for Mark?

Sadly, The Fox Inn closed its doors permanently in July 2022. Opened in the middle of the pandemic, the challenges were just too much for the business to continue, with rising costs and staffing issues that the industry has never before seen. However, there’s plenty to look forward to with business booming on other fronts and new ventures additionally.

“Aside from the restaurants, I continue to consult and also run events whether that’s catering for a big wedding, cooking at people’s holiday homes or hosting a ‘Kitchen Table’ event which I hold at my home. I have also teamed up with my friend Miles Irving, a renowned wild food expert and forager, where we run ‘Hix and Wild’ days in Dorset; foraging all morning and afternoon, before we enjoy a 6-course meal back at my home, cooked by me, with plenty of local wines of course!”

Mutton Chop Curry We usually make this with deer or mutton chops which you don’t often see for sale, but any good butcher should be able to cut them for you, just like lamb chops. There’s something delicious about eating a curry on the bone and what’s more it looks great.

SERVES 4 FOR THE ROASTED CURRY POWDER, MAKES ABOUT 100G 3 tsp fenugreek seeds 1 tsp fennel seeds 1 tbsp fenugreek leaves 3 tsp cumin seeds 1 small cinnamon stick 4 dried chillies, roughly chopped 1 tsp caraway seeds 1 tsp nigella seeds 3 tsp ground turmeric 4 cloves 2 tsp ground coriander 2 tsp mustard seeds The black seeds from 12 podded cardamom 3 tsp ground cumin FOR THE CURRY 3 mutton or deer chops or cutlets per portion 300g natural yoghurt 2 tbsp ghee 3 medium red onions, peeled, halved and finely chopped 5 medium cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed 60g of root ginger, scraped and finely grated 2 good pinches of saffron 3 tsp tomato purée 1L of lamb or beef stock, A few sprigs of coriander, roughly chopped to finish

3 Marinade the chops in the yoghurt for 2-3 hours before cooking.

4 To make the sauce, gently cook the onion, garlic, ginger, saffron and curry leaves, in 1.5 tbsp of the ghee for 3-4 mins until soft. Add the curry spices and tomato purée and stir well.

2 Make the sauce. Melt the butter in a thick-bottomed pan over a low heat, then stir in the flour. Gradually add the stock and wine that the fish was poached in, stirring well until it has all been added. Bring to the boil and simmer gently for 30 mins. Add the double cream and continue to simmer for 10 mins or so until the sauce has a thick consistency. Stir in the mustard, Worcestershire sauce and anchovy essence. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, if necessary, and leave to cool for about 15 mins.

3 Gently fold in the cooked fish and parsley, and spoon into individual (or one large) pie dishes, filling them to 3cm from the top of the dish. Leave to set for about 30 mins, so the potato will sit on the sauce.

50g butter 50g flour 180ml double cream 2 tsp English mustard Half a tbsp Worcestershire sauce 1 tsp anchovy essence Salt and freshly ground white pepper

1 Bring the fish stock and white wine to boil together in a large saucepan and poach the fish gently in it for 2 mins.

4 Meanwhile, mix the butter into the mashed potato, season with a little salt and freshly ground white pepper and add a little milk so that it is just soft enough to pipe (with a piping bag), or just spread with a spatula on to the pies.

Bake the fish pie for 30 mins. Scatter on the breadcrumbs and cheese and bake for a further 15 mins until golden.

Cuttlefish Ink Spelt This isn’t a risotto in the true sense of the word but more a sort of British version of Spanish Arròs negre. You can use cuttlefish or squid for this dish, and you will need to order the little sachets of ink from your fishmonger in advance.

SERVES 4 2 tbsp rapeseed oil 50g (6 sachets) squid ink 200g spelt, soaked in cold water for 3-4 hours 1L fish stock 120g butter 150g cleaned squid, cut into small, rough 2-3cm squares 1 tbsp chopped hedgerow or three-cornered garlic or garlic chives 1 tbsp chopped parsley 1 tbsp chopped chervil

1 Heat the rapeseed oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan, add the drained spelt and stir on a low heat for a minute or so, without allowing it to colour.

2 Add the squid ink, stir well, then slowly add the stock, a ladle or two at a time, ensuring that all the liquid has been absorbed before adding more, stirring constantly.

3 When the spelt is tender and cooked, stir in two-thirds of the butter and a little more of the stock if the risotto seems a bit too dry. The consistency should be wet but not runny.

4 Meanwhile, heat a heavy frying pan with the rest of the butter and cook the squid on a high heat for a minute or so, then stir in the herbs.

5 To serve, spoon the spelt on to warmed serving plates and scatter the squid over.

His company runs foraging courses throughout the UK, from rural settings to cities, and he says his main goal is to get people excited about the amazing flavours that can be found in the wild, in addition to sharing knowledge and engaging with the great outdoors.

“I want to make foraging as accessible as possible,” explains James. “Quite often we think that we need to cook something gastronomic with our wild finds but one of my favourite things to eat is a nettle omelette, incredibly quick and super simple. I can grab them from the back garden and have lunch within 5 minutes.

“Often the act of heading out foraging is much more than wild food, we’re engaging with wild spaces, getting our steps in for the day and enjoying all of the mental benefits associated with being surrounded by greenery and woodlands.”

Food and sustainability campaigners Abi Aspen Glencross and Sadhbh Moore give their top tips for foraging

oraging, or picking wild foods, is a liberating and empowering act. If you’ve been brought up to pick wild blackberries or apples as you walk along country roads, you may have always been a forager and not even realised.

Being able to identify edible plants helps us to understand seasonality, as well as appreciate the bounty and biodiversity of where we live.

Of course, plant identification can get complicated, and can be dangerous, especially with mushrooms, so the following should be kept in mind: • Never eat any wild food without first being 100% sure of its identity. Start simple, with blackberries, apples and pears for example.

• Research the edible plants in your area; find out if any are endangered, how to pick them and be wary of spreading invasive species. Your best bet is to find a reputable foraging class or guided walk.

• Get a good foraging guide and familiarise yourself with different leaf, stem seed and fruit shapes and structures.

• Take no more than you can process or consume immediately, before it goes bad. Many places in the UK, such as some Woodland Trust land, allow foraging only for personal use, but not commercial purposes.

• Take care not to trample biodiverse areas and avoid uprooting any plants.

• Seek permission from landowners, or forage on your own land, or public land for which you know you can look up the foraging rules.

• Only collect leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds where they are in abundance, and leave a good proportion in place.

From Weed to Feed They may not be welcome on your lawn but don’t rule dandelions out of your kitchen says Dee Dade of Dorset-based Hedgerow Herbs

D

ee Dade has been fascinated by plants and nature in general ever since she was a young girl. Now based in the rural Dorset village of Witchampton, her company Hedgerow Herbs offers a range of foraging and herb-related workshops, courses and walks. Here she talks about making use of a common weed.

It is essential to follow the forager’s rules and be 100% confident in your identification of what you are picking, how you plan to use it and any special considerations* in terms of safety.

“Dandelions used to be grown as a crop, and still widely are in Europe. In the UK, they are a long-forgotten kitchen ingredient, but things are changing. Not only are we starting to understand the benefits of dandelions for the wildlife around us, but people are also becoming aware again that we can eat them.

“Walking, weeding, and gardening takes on a whole new meaning when we discover that a plant that annoys us when it grows in our lawns, can be used to create healthy, delicious, nurturing food for free. This humble backyard weed is super nutritious and a good source of antioxidants and vitamins, A, C, and K, along with potassium, magnesium, and iron.

“Dandelions are also seen as a liver tonic, helping to create healthy gut health, whilst relieving symptoms like

Parsnip & Dandelion Root Soup There is nothing better than a bowl of warming winter soup, especially after a day out foraging.

SERVES 2 3 parsnips, chopped 1 dandelion root, chopped 1 onion, chopped 1 stick of celery, chopped A knob of butter or splash of oil 1 tsp whole grain mustard or a pinch of thyme

indigestion, constipation, and bloating. The leaves, flowers, and roots can all be brought into the kitchen to add to food and autumn/winter is the perfect time to make use of the roots.

“Unappealing while in the ground, they are a delicious addition to winter soups like the one here. They can also be used to make a wonderful infused vinegar that extracts all those valuable vitamins and minerals, which can then be added to dressings or used to make pickles.”

For details on Dee’s workshops and courses, visit www.hedgerowherbs.co.uk. *Certain medications or having kidney issues can make drinking or consuming anything containing dandelion inadvisable. It is also best to avoid if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Always veer on the side of caution and check with your GP if you are unsure or have existing health conditions.

Salt and pepper to taste

1 Put the onion, celery and butter in a pan and gently cook until tender. Add the parsnips and dandelion root and continue to gently cook for a minute or 2 longer, add the thyme if using.

2 Cover with water/stock and simmer until the roots are soft.

3 Whizz up in a food processor until creamy and smooth, stir in the mustard (if using) and season to taste.

Apple & Ginger Pie SERVES 12 (OR 6 VERY GENEROUSLY!) FOR THE FILLING 3 tbsp good quality ginger cordial 850g cooking apple Half a lemon, juice and zest 100g caster sugar Milk for brushing FOR THE PASTRY 350g plain flour 175g cold butter, cubed Pinch of salt 100ml ginger cordial

1 To make the pastry, place the flour, butter and salt in a food processor and blitz until it looks like breadcrumbs.

Alternatively, place the dry ingredients in

a bowl and rub in the butter using your fingertips.

2 Add the cordial to the pastry crumb mix and blitz in the processor or stir in with a knife, until the mixture comes together and forms a ball. Wrap and chill for 20 mins.

3 Prepare the filling by quartering, peeling and coring the apples, then roughly slice them. Place in a large pan and add the cordial, lemon zest and juice. Bring to the boil, then cover the pan and simmer for about 5 mins or until the mixture is just soft but some apple pieces remain. Taste and add more sugar according to taste and the sourness of your apples! Set aside to cool.

4 Preheat the oven to 100C/Gas 6. Roll out half the pastry on a lightly floured surface until it is 3mm thick. And use to line the base of a 23cm pie tin, pressing the pastry into the base of the tin. Leave the excess pastry hanging over the sides of the tin. Place on a baking tray, line

with baking parchment and baking beans and bake for 15 mins. Remove the baking beans and cook for a further 5 mins. Roll out the remaining pastry on a lightly floured surface then cut out a circle about 5cm larger than the pie dish.

5 Spoon the apples into the centre of the pie, brush the pastry edges with milk, then lay the pastry over the filling. Use a knife to trim off excess pastry, then use a fork to seal the edges and make a pattern. Roll out the reserved trimmings and use these to decorate the top of the pie. Brush with milk, sprinkle with sugar and bake on the baking tray for 30-35 mins until golden and crisp.

The retired midwife, who lives in Poole and made it through to week 4 of the Great British Bake Off 2021, provides the following tips: • Always read a recipe all the way through before starting, you don’t want to get half way through and find it says “put in the fridge overnight” when you need it in an hour!

• There are 2 things I always beat for longer than most people would – sugar and butter when making a cake and buttercream to decorate it.

• I weigh my eggs – they should be the same weight as the butter, sugar and flour for a sponge.

• Finally, with all your baking, stray out of your comfort zone and try things you have never attempted before. You may surprise yourself. If all else fails with a cake, you can always use it to make trifle!

ack in 1961, Pierre Verdun, a butcher from a small village in the heart of Burgundy, joined forces with his friend Robert Comte to develop a culinary brainwave.

Together they came up with the first food preparation machine featuring a blade on the bottom of a pot that could chop, grind, shred and knead. A patent quickly followed, and the Robot Coupe processor was launched in 1963, aimed at professional chefs.

BELOW: The Changing Face of Magimix from the 1970s version to a current model.

BELOW: The original Robot Coupe revolutionised food preparation

AN INNOVATION

This revolutionary innovation saved hours of prep work and quickly became an international success.

Comte’s wife felt a tad envious. She asked if he

could please produce a smaller version for her, and domestic use generally. Robert Comte duly obliged and on 1st March, 1971, the first compact domestic food processor was born and christened Magimix.

In 1980, the French Groupe Hameur took over the 2 brands and remains the sole owner of the company, with more than 150 employees and an international brand presence.

All Magimix food processors are made in a French factory in the former mining centre of Montceau-lesMines, 70 miles southwest of Dijon. The accessories (blades, discs, etc) are all produced in Sabatier stainless-steel and are made in Thiers, the French heart of knife-making. Magimix has always boasted an industrial-grade, direct-drive induction motor, the type that automatically adjusts its power to the task in hand and is guaranteed for a somewhat staggering 30 years.

MAGIMIX

AT A GLANCE 1961 The food processor is invented.

1963 The Robot Coupe processor is launched, aimed at professional chefs. These machines are still used today in commercial kitchens across the globe.

1971 The first compact domestic food processor is introduced.

1974 Magimix is brought to the UK market.

1980 The French Groupe Hameur takes over the two brands – Magimix & Robot Coupe, and remains sole owner of the company today.

1988 The addition of different bowl sizes to the range enables multiple food preparations and increases timesaving.

The company also launches 3 sizes of food processor.

1994 Le Compact range introduced, reducing the footprint of Magimix Food Processors by 25%.

1998 Magimix launches its first juicer, Le Duo.

CELEBRITY FANS

Celebrated French chef Paul Bocuse (1926-2018) was one of Magimix’s first fans. He used a Magimix for all of his professional life, as have many top cooks since, from Jamie Oliver to Pru Leith, Rosemary Shrager, Eric Lanlard, Yotam Ottolenghi and almost every single contestant of MasterChef and The Great British Bake Off.

BUILT TO LAST

Today the Magimix range includes a wide range of appliances, from blenders and food processors to ice-cream makers and juicers. Magimix’s phrase ‘Built better to last longer’ really has stood the test of time (along with their appliances).

ABOVE: Vintage Magimix cookery books

2013 The Magimix Food Processor received its first Quiet Mark accreditation, establishing the appliances as some of the quietest on the market.

2021 The company celebrates its 50th anniversary.

QUIET – AND LONG LASTING

“We’re very proud that our machines are Quiet Mark approved – it’s a third-party endorsement. And we have a 30-year guarantee on our motor. It’s like buying a car that’s never going to go wrong – you might need to replace the tyres and the windscreen wipers once in a while, but the engine is good for life.”

CRAZY ABOUT However you like it, you don’t have to leave your home to enjoy it

W

e’ve come a long way from the times when accepting a cup of coffee equated to watching your host measure out a teaspoon of freeze-dried powder from a jar.

Although instant coffee has definitely improved since the days when a cafetiere was seen as a fancy piece of kitchen equipment, the coffee drinking experience has moved into a different league altogether.

From double shot soya lattes to cold brew, espresso macchiatos to Fairtrade frappes, oat, almond, soya, cow’s milk or black there have never been more options, not only in high street coffee shops but in terms of what we can produce ourselves, at home.

CAPSULE OR COFFEE POD MACHINES

Investing in a good pod or capsule machine makes perfect sense for avid coffee drinkers who want quality coffee minus the price tag of barista-made drinks. By constantly using the same type or brand of pods at home, you can be assured of the perfect cuppa every time. These machines are also easy to use and produce minimal mess, with many pods also now being recyclable.

FILTER COFFEE

There’s a health advantage to using filters during the coffeemaking process as these trap diterpenes, oily compounds that can block a cholesterolregulating receptor in the intestines. Using them, you can significantly decrease the risk of coffee-related cholesterol. There is another benefit – taste! Although it takes slightly longer than a pressure-driven method, using gravity to filter your coffee can deliver less acidity and enhance flavour.

Real coffee doesn’t get much simpler.

Warm your cafetiere with hot water and leave to stand for 2-3 minutes before discarding. Then add your coffee and fill about halfway with the freshly boiled water. Stir and leave for 30 secs before filling fully.

Place the lid at the top, leave for about 3 mins, then ‘plunge’ and serve. As you control the amount of ground beans going in, cafetieres are a great choice for those who love their coffee so strong you can stand your teaspoon up in it.

HARTS HOW TO

PREPARE TO SAVE When time and finances are under pressure, planning is key

F

ew of us have hours to spend cooking on weekdays and hungry families often don’t want to wait more than a few minutes.

And most of us must consider our shopping budgets, particularly in recent times. Batch cooking is far from a new idea but something that is seeing a resurgence in these tough economic climes, especially for larger families.

Thinking ahead pays off when it comes to avoiding the temptation of easy but expensive takeaways or convenience meals.

Spending a regular afternoon – or even a full day – cooking up large quantities of healthy, but low-cost food and freezing in suitable containers means you have a home-cooked meal to hand, saving valuable time and money down the line. It also means you can create meals to suit your family’s dietary needs, such as nut allergies, gluten, and lactose intolerance, while at the same time regulating unhealthy sugars, salt and other additives.

Slow cookers also provide a fantastic way of throwing a few ingredients together the night before and putting on to cook in the morning, before leaving for work. There’s something quite wonderful about arriving back and being greeted by the smell of dinner.

Although you’ve made it yourself, it’s the next best thing to someone cooking for you!

SERVES 4 25g capers, finely chopped 50g cocktail onions, drained and chopped 2 red peppers 48

1.5 tbsp. olive oil 1 small garlic clove, crushed 85ml vegetable stock 400g wholewheat spaghetti 50g parmesan cheese Handful of basil leaves, roughly chopped.

1 Using a hot grill or naked gas flame, roast the peppers, turning regularly for about 20 mins until the skin turns black.

Remove and place in a bowl and cover with cling film and allow to cool.

2 Heat the oil in a frying pan, add the garlic and capers and cook for 2 mins.

Stir in the peppers and continue to fry for a further 3 mins.

3 Add the vegetable stock, bring to the boil, and allow it to reduce a little.

4 Pour the contents of the pan together

with the cocktail onions into a blender and whizz until smooth.

5 Cook the spaghetti according to pack instructions. Drain and stir in the red pepper sauce.

6 Serve sprinkled with parmesan shavings and a handful of basil leaves.

HINTS AND TIPS

Once the skins have charred, put the peppers into a plastic bag as this will make them sweat and the skins will come off more easily. Switch the parmesan cheese for a vegan alternative to make this dish vegan.

MasterClass Stainless Steel Storage 2L Food Container RRP: £34.99 Harts Price: £27.95

• Plan your meals carefully in advance, using any leftovers from the fridge or after checking what’s lurking at the back of your cupboards and buried at the bottom of the freezer.

• Tinned and frozen foods can be great money-savers. It is also worth scouring supermarkets for items reduced in price, especially late in the day.

• Buy smaller portions of meat and bulk out your meal with proteins such as chickpeas or black beans, which are far cheaper and have health benefits too.

• Another option is cheaper cuts of meat. They will likely need longer cooking, so a handy tip is to add about an extra quarter of a cup of water to your meal (if it’s in the slow cooker) for an hour or so longer, as this will keep your food from drying out.

• Invest in a set of suitable containers to store family-sized or single-portion meals and cut down on wastage.

Freezer bags are another option.

HOST WITH THE ROAST

Award-winning food and lifestyle author Romy London has been cited as one of the top vegan bloggers to follow. Her new book showcases plant-based comfort food at its best

Orange and Cranberry Roast Wreath

With the addition of orange, this roast is extra zesty and brings the deliciously sweet taste of cranberries to the next level.

SERVES 6-8 FOR THE ROAST WREATH 28g (2 tbsp) vegan butter 160g finely diced red onion 2 tsp crushed garlic 100g finely diced celery 128g finely diced carrots 130g cranberries 1 tsp orange zest 60 ml fresh orange juice Half tsp sea salt 1 tbsp light brown sugar 1 tsp fresh thyme 1 cube vegetable bouillon Quarter tsp ground black pepper 234g chopped walnuts 2 tbsp peanut butter 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar 2 tbsp water 2 tbsp almond flour 2 tbsp flaxseeds 4 tbsp cranberry sauce Orange shavings and nuts, to decorate the wreath (optional) 62

1 Place the vegan butter in a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until softened.

Add the garlic. Cook for 1 min, then add the celery and carrots. Stir and cook for around 10 minutes, or until the carrots have slightly softened.

2 Add the cranberries to the pan and stir. Cook the mixture for 5 mins, or until the cranberries have softened.

Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the orange zest, fresh orange juice, salt and brown sugar. After 2 minutes, add the fresh thyme. Crumble in the bouillon cube and add the black pepper. Simmer over low heat while you’re preparing the rest of the ingredients.

3 In the meantime, transfer the walnuts to a food processor and pulse just long enough to break them into chunks. Transfer them to the skillet and stir in before removing the skillet from the heat.

4 Preheat your oven to 190C/Gas 5. In a small bowl, whisk the peanut

butter, apple cider vinegar and water.

Add to the skillet and stir all the ingredients together, then stir in the almond flour and flaxseeds.

5 Grease a 27cm ring cake pan and transfer the mixture to it. Firmly press the mixture down into the ring with the back of a spatula to pack it densely.

Carefully even out the top of the cake ring and transfer it to the preheated oven.

6 Bake for around 30 mins until the edges begin to brown, remembering to turn the ring around halfway through to ensure it bakes evenly.

7 Allow your wreath to cool on an even surface for 15 mins before carefully turning it upside down on a serving dish and removing the cake ring.

8 Decorate the top of the wreath with cranberry sauce, along with orange shavings and nuts (if using). This works wonderfully served alongside green beans and with a brandy peppercorn sauce.

Mushroom and Lentil Wellington Traditionally, a Wellington is made with beef wrapped in a flaky puff pastry and then baked. For vegan Wellingtons, there are several delicious fillings, but this mushroom and lentil combination is a winner.

SERVES 6-8 For the Wellington 470g washed and sliced brown mushrooms

Mason Cash Nautical S18 26cm Mixing Bowl RRP: £25.00 Harts Price: £20.00

Pinch of sea salt 28g vegan butter 160g finely diced yellow onion 67g finely diced celery 128g finely diced carrot 2 tsp crushed garlic 125 ml vegan white wine 396g canned green lentils 57g roughly chopped walnuts 2 sheets vegan puff pastry 1 tbsp tamari

KitchenAid Forged Hardened Aluminium 28cm Skillet with Helper Handle & Lid RRP: £130.00 Harts Price: £109.95

1 tbsp plant-based milk

1 Place your mushrooms in a large, dry skillet over medium-high heat and stir frequently for a couple of mins, then sprinkle in the salt. Your mushrooms will release their water, become soft and shrink. Cook until the majority of the liquid has evaporated from the pan. Set aside.

2 In a separate skillet, heat the vegan butter and add the onion, celery and carrot. Sauté until soft. Add the garlic and cook for a few mins, then deglaze the pan with the white wine. Wait 2 mins, then add the sautéed mushrooms to the warm skillet and remove it from the heat.

3 Mash 1 cup (198g) of the green lentils with the back of a fork; keep the remainder intact. Stir the lentils into the pan, then add the walnuts and allow the mixture to cool for at least 1 hour.

4 In the meantime, bring your puff pastry sheets to room temperature, so they soften and become easier to unroll.

5 Once cooled down, spoon the mixture onto the middle of an unrolled puff pastry sheet in a log shape. Ensure the mixture is tightly packed within the pastry sheet.

6 Sprinkle a little water or plant-based milk on the pastry edges around the log, then gently place a second puff pastry sheet on top and press the edges against the bottom sheet to seal. Use a sharp knife to remove any excess pastry. Crimp the edges between your fingers or use a fork to seal them.

7 Use any leftover scraps of puff pastry to decorate your Wellington. You can score it or cut out little puff pastry shapes; dab them with a little plant milk to add them onto your log.

8 Rest the Wellington in your fridge or freezer for a minimum of 1 hour, then preheat your oven to 190C/Gas 5 and place a rack in the middle. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

9 For the vegan egg wash, combine the tamari and plant-based milk in a small bowl. Brush it onto your Wellington. Roast the Wellington for around 25 mins, or until it is beautifully golden on the outside.
