This week's (from 2018) @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social Panini al latte (milk buns)

Superb! Easy to make & beautifully soft inside with a sweet crisp top. Split & filled with delicious Baron Bigod cheese. Also had some filled with cherry jam. I'll make these again.

Chickpea and salt cod soup
Substituted the chickpeas with white beans and used hake as I could not find any salt cod. A really tasty and filling lunch - even though it's not Friday!

On a break from the Guardian Feast column until the new year, but wonderful @helenterrapin.bsky.social, the most loyal reader-cook, isn’t xx
As @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social column is taking a break I'm cooking along with recipes from each corresponding week in 2018 (the year before I started). So this week it's Spaghetti aglio, olio e peperoncino– midnight spaghetti
www.theguardian.com/food/2018/oc...
Neither made nor eaten at midnight!

This week's @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social Baked leek and egg gratin
www.theguardian.com/food/2025/oc...
An easy to make meal. I've never baked leeks before never mind as tree stumps! We had it with green salad topped with a vinegary pomegranate dressing. Delicious!

Dinner tonight : "Orzo" (or if you prefer "Risoni") with peas and chicken. Inspired by two @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social recipes - although I didn't have the complete ingredients for either and I also cheated by buying a Conad grilled chicken. A lovely, comforting and surprisingly quick dinner.

Both were quick, easy & very tasty. Haven't eaten sardines for years- they are delicious. The lemon was a great addition. Will definitely make both again.

This week's @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social Fish baked with tomatoes, olives & capers
I used coley, omitted the capers & added celery fronds. Had it with buttered potatoes and I even made my own aïoli to go with it. Turned out perfectly - "a Turkish bath for food".
