The winner of the @thermapen competition is @katia

The winner of the @thermapen competition is @katianw6 ! I know she’s a keen baker and cook so she will get the full benefit of this essential bit of kitchen kit. Every kitchen should have one- to find out if your cake/bread has cooked, for double or triple fried chips, or your fish en papillote or your Sunday roast. It’s essential also for any sweet making or sugar work- is your caramel up to temperature? Will it be soft or hard crack? Also it’s British made so you are supporting our industries in these difficult times. Go to https://thermapen.co.uk to buy. £66. #competition #thermapen #cookingbetter #winners #homecooks #supperclubchef #britishbrands #temperaturenottime #gifted #redhot

I soaked borlotti beans overnight, simmered them till soft and made a bean salad with herbs and vinaigrette. I like tinned beans but I do think that dried ones are that bit tastier. #summerfood #eatbeans #themoreyoueatthelessyoufart #beansalad #borlotti #myfavouriteyellowbowl #portugueseceramics #inulins #fibre #guthealth #driedbeans #supperclub

Yellow courgette, blue cheese, lemon zest risotto

Yellow courgette, blue cheese, lemon zest risotto using vialone nano rice. I probably prefer baldo or carnaroli or gigante risotto rice. Read my piece with 4 risotto recipes in the ham and high newspaper https://www.hamhigh.co.uk/things-to-do/food-reviews/how-to-cook-the-perfect-risotto-8151878 #summercooking #risotto #vegetarian #italianfood #londonrecipes #recipe #courgettes #bluecheese #supperclub

COMPETITION: something every cook needs is a digit

COMPETITION: something every cook needs is a digital thermometer. I use @thermapen, made in Britain, which come in lovely colours such as the bright as seen here. I’ve given my old pink one, which I’ve had for ten years and it’s still working ( only had to change batteries once) to daughter. I think every household needs one. It’s useful for checking the temperature of meat, fish ( over 60c and it’s done) and, something I didn’t know, cake and bread dough. This way you won’t take something out of the oven or bbq too soon. Also it’s essential for making salted caramel or any sugar work. It’s also easy to clean. To win a Thermapen follow me, follow them @thermapen and tag one other friend who you think may like this account. Put this in a comment comment below. The thermapen is worth almost £70 so it’s a great prize. Winner will be announced here the last day of July. #giveaway #competition #thermapen #digitalthermometer #prize #win #forcooks #cookingbetter #bbqfood #bbqqueen #supperclub #pizza #temperaturenottime

My small attempt to help England win tonight. I’ve baked danish? Scandinavian cinnamon and cardamom rolls. My dad made borscht soup for the Ukrainian game which we have decided helped them to win 4-0.

Gooseberry fool. Julys bounty. Simple dessert. Cook gooseberries in a few tablespoons of sugar until they burst. Whisk Greek yoghurt and double cream with icing sugar. Fold in the cooled gooseberry purée in there and serve. #gooseberries #summerdessert #supperclub #easyrecipes

Another risotto, this time with black Venus rice.

Another risotto, this time with black Venus rice. I soaked it overnight before cooking with noilly prat, Mexican tarragon, courgettes and goat cheese , topped with wild fennel flowers. Black rice, like the red husked risotto rice, is nuttier- it never goes really soft. Mexican tarragon is supposed to be stronger than french. #sundaylunch #risotto #blackfood #blackrice #tarragon #vegetarianrisotto #piedmontese #supperclubchef #risottotrials

A red risotto but using baldo rice from @principat

A red risotto but using baldo rice from @principatodilucedio which I visited a couple of years ago. I made it with a red sauce, wine, a pinch of saffron, and topped it with smoked tomatoes @tomatostall and fresh basil. I find a knob of butter towards the end of the big stirathon gives every grain of rice a glossy look. #risottorecipe #risottochronicles #baldorice #piemonte #supperclub #supperclubchef #lunch #redrisotto

Saffron risotto. You have to use quite a few stran

Saffron risotto. You have to use quite a few strands to get the proper yellow colour. What does saffron taste like? Hard to explain really. To me it tastes like seafood without the fish. Here I’m using baldo risotto rice from piedmont in northern Italy which I visited a couple of years ago. It’s not very touristy but the buildings are towns are beautiful and historic. This is a risotto eating area rather pasta. They say rice is better for you: it fills you up quicker, better satiety, doesn’t spike blood sugar and is gluten-free. I looked over the rice fields, rubbed the seeds from the rice plant in my fingers. Risotto is a short round rice like sushi rice. When you think about it, as humans we eat a lot of grass: wheat and rice are grasses. As for this saffron ( crocus stamens) risotto requires white wine, hot veg stock and plenty of stirring, till it is an unctuous glossy mound. #supperclubchef #supperclub #risottochronicles #saffron #rice #risotto #piedmont #slowfood
