Use this simple recipe for a simple Kedgeree ...

Although Kedgeree. Than a traditional British food, actually Kedgeree originating in India You can influence the Indian curry and rice, eggs and smoked fish in this recipe quick and easy breakfast Kedgeree see.

Kedgeree started as khichari, a dish of rice and lentils in India, but in the days of the British Raj gradually transforms into the ground.

What exactly ... courage?

Definition: Tripe is the stomach lining of animals, usually beef. The stomach lining is bleached and cooked before sale partially, but requires longer cooking for a further two hours before eating.

Tripe and onions was once a very popular dish in British cuisine, but in recent years fallen from grace.

Case is at the door of the British Food knock

If you look carefully, you will see that there is a natural rhythm of the whole year as the seasons change, and it also affects our food needs: summer, want lighter, brighter food in the fall and winter we need more solid food. Thus, with the advent of the month of October, it's time to say goodbye to bland foods, such as soft light herb salad leaves and light summer fruits and berries and say hello case solids. It is also time to cozy up to the stove.

It's time for Welsh lamb

October is the time of Welsh lamb. I know I speak a lot of spring lamb, but the Welsh actually spent the summer eating outside, lush meadows and rustic plains, fragrant heather in the mountainous highlands. The resulting meat is very special. In fact, Welsh lamb is so special that the EC granted the coveted status of Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) - the same as Parma ham. The IGP is the preservation and promotion of these foods that are unique to their area - foods that have character and are beautiful come with an unbreakable country freely designed.

The quality and distinctive taste of Welsh lamb makes a versatile meat. The leg makes a great roast, but a long shoulder stew with root vegetables in season is tasty, spicy neck fillets with garlic, coriander and chickpeas, are a cheap and reasonable flat sound. Beetroot is also cooked with lamb before and, surprisingly, that this Lamb and beetroot curry comes courtesy of Vivek SingStar his book, classic and modern curry, Absolute Press.


The arrival of celery

The arrival of celery, but not the nicest in the area, is one of the most delicious and versatile, it is a cause for celebration. Celery can be steamed, boiled, cooked or grated raw and mixed well with a tablespoon of mayonnaise, potato salad aside.

It's time to make Sloe Gin for Christmas

October is the best time for the eyes, especially if you want sloe gin for Christmas. Some say there is no better use of students and Christmas would never be the same without a bottle (or, depending on the drink vodka.) Sloe Gin is also a large fleet drink at any time.

Ideally, students should be picked after the first frost, but when they are ripe and ready to take depends on where you live, so expect by the end of August in search of food until October - fortunately still plenty of time to enjoy ready for the Christmas season.

Weigh eyes measure a liter of gin or vodka and 250 g of sugar per 450 grams of fruit and mix. Place in large glasses and cover with the mixture of alcohol and sugar, in the vicinity and in a cool, dark place, making it an occasional shake. Load after two months and put the liquid into clean bottles, seal and drink whenever you want.

Soak leftover melted eyes watered recorded in or on a one-pot game for more chocolate flavor. For variety, the eyeballs cook with a little sugar and serve as an alternative to cranberry sauce.
