FOODIES JAMIE OLIVER

Jamie Oliver’s tasty family recipes are fuss-free and packed with goodness

HAT’S WHAT you guys told me you wanted from the recipes in a healthy family cookbook and that’s exactly what I’ve delivered. I’ve basically taken classic comfort food dishes and ultimate family favourites that I know you love and cooked them to make sure they fit bang into my super-food philosophy. What does that mean? Well, it guarantees that not only will you be eating exciting meals that will tickle your tastebuds, are super delicious and will fill you up but every one of those meals is totally balanced and will help to rule, restore, revive and energise you, too. The word ‘family’ means something different to us all, especially when it comes to food. For me its about food that’s coy, comforting and made for sharing, and all too often that can mean food that’s not so good for you, too. These recipes are all about encouraging you to enjoy great food that nourishes you every day whether you’re tucking in on your own, with family or with friends. These recipes all fit into a framework of 600 calories or less so just mix up your choices. If you can cook food like this three or four days a week, it will only have a positive impact on your and your family’s health. You’ll find nutritional info on every recipe page. Every recipe is designed to give you a brilliant boost of goodness. l

CHICKEN LOLLIPOP DIPPERS, PEA & MINT COUSCOUS, CHARRED ASPARAGUS As well as being nice and high in fibre, humble wholewheat couscous is high in the mineral copper, which our metabolic systems need in order to function efficiently. Serves 2 Total time: 24 minutes 250g fine asparagus 120g fresh or frozen peas 120g wholewheat couscous 1 lemon 20g flaked almonds 2 x 120g free-range skinless chicken breasts Olive oil 2 heaped tsp sun-dried tomato paste 2 tbsp natural yoghurt ½ a bunch of fresh mint

CALORIES 535kcal

l Trim six wooden skewers so they’ll fit inside a large non-stick frying pan, then soak in cold water. Trim the woody ends off the asparagus, then char in the dry pan on a medium heat, turning occasionally. Meanwhile, place the peas and couscous in a bowl. Finely grate over the lemon zest, then just cover with boiling kettle water. Pop a plate on top and leave to fluff up. l Once done, place the aspargus on a plate. Crumble the almonds into the pan to toast until lightly golden, then remove. Use the base of a pan to flatten the thicker side of the chicken breasts slightly, then use three wooden skewers to pierce each chicken breast at regular intervals. Sprinkle both breasts with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper and rub with 1 teaspoon of oil. Place the chicken breasts in the pan for 10 minutes, or until golden and cooked through, but still juicy, turning every couple of minutes, and returning the asparagus to the pan for the last minute to warm through. l Meanwhile, mix the sun-dried tomato paste with the yoghurt and half the lemon juice until smooth. Fluff up the couscous, squeeze over the remaining lemon juice, then pick, finely chop and stir in the mint leaves. Taste and season to perfection. Slice between the skewers to create chicken lollipops ready to dunk in the sun-dried tomato yoghurt and coat in the crunchy almonds, then serve up with the couscous and asparagus.

ITALIAN SUPER-FOOD BURGERS, BALSAMIC ONIONS, MOZZARELLA & SLAW The secret here is to use lean minced beef, which is just as protein-packed as the higher-fat stuff, bulked up with high-fibre cannellini beans. We even get a bit of mozzarella, too! Serves 6 Total time: 40 minutes

l Preheat the oven to 200ºC. Peel the onions, finely slice into rounds and place in a bowl. Add the balsamic and a couple of good pinches of sea salt to draw out excess moisture (you’ll drain the liquor off, so don’t worry about the amount of salt). l Put the minced beef into a bowl with a big pinch of black pepper and a small pinch of salt. Drain and add the beans. Separate the egg and add the yolk to the mixture, then scrunch together really well with clean hands. Whisk the egg white, halve your burger buns, put back together, brush just the tops with egg white, then scatter over the sesame seeds to create a nice, even layer (you can even make stencils for a bit of fun, if you want to get the kids involved). l Pull off any tatty outer leaves from the cabbage. Very finely slice it, ideally on a mandolin (use the guard!). In a large bowl, toss the cabbage with the yoghurt, mustard, chilli flakes, lemon juice and a pinch of black pepper. l Divide the burger mixture into six equal-sized balls. Place two large non-stick ovenproof frying pans on a mediumhigh heat with 1 tsp of oil in each (or cook in batches). Add three balls of mixture to each pan, gently squash into patties about 2cm thick, cook for 2 minutes, or until golden, then flip over. Top each burger with a slice of mozzarella and strip in the rosemary leaves around them. Pop into the oven for 2 minutes so the mozzarella melts, with the buns alongside to warm through. Slice the tomatoes and divide between the bun bases with the cheesy burgers, crispy rosemary and balsamic onions, then pop the tops on, toss the slaw with the rocket, and serve.

2 small red onions 100ml cheap balsamic vinegar 500g lean minced beef 1 x 400g tin of cannellini beans 1 large free-range egg 6 wholemeal buns 2 tbsp sesame seeds ½ a small white cabbage (500g) 3 tbsp natural yoghurt 1 heaped tsp English mustard 1 tsp dried red chilli flakes 1 lemon Olive oil 1 x 125g ball of mozzarella cheese 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary 2 ripe mixed-colour tomatoes 100g rocket

TOASTED POPEYE BREAD EGGS, VINE TOMATOES & CHILLI SAUCE Spinach is a brilliant ingredient to embrace at breakfast time – it’s super-high in vitamin K, which we need to keep our bones strong and healthy. Popeye knew what he was doing! Serves 2 Total time: 25 minutes 160g ripe cherry tomatoes, on the vine 4 thin slices of wholemeal bread 3 large free-range eggs 1 x 15g slice of higher-welfare smoked ham 80g baby spinach 2 tbsp semi-skimmed milk 1 heaped tbsp cottage cheese Extra virgin olive oil Hot chilli sauce

l Preheat the grill to high. Lay the tomato vines in a large baking tray, prick each tomato with the tip of a sharp knife and grill for 4 minutes, then add the bread to the tray to toast on both sides. Meanwhile, crack 1 egg into a blender, add the ham, spinach, a good pinch of black pepper and the milk and blitz until smooth. Take the tray from under the grill and divide the green eggy mixture between the four pieces of toast, spreading it right out to the edges. Divide and dot over the cottage cheese, then pop back under the grill for another 4 minutes, or until starting to brown at the edges. l Meanwhile, dry fry the remaining 2 eggs in a non-stick frying pan on a medium heat, covering the pan with a lid to steam and coddle the eggs on the top – cook to your liking. l Divide up the Popeye bread and serve each portion with an egg and half the grilled tomatoes. I like to finish with just a few drips of good oil, and a drizzle of chilli sauce for a bit of a kick. Crush the tomatoes, tear up the bread, bust up the egg yolk and devour.

CANDIKITCHEN, our wonderful café and grocery shop in London’s West End, was born out of pure homesickness and a need to find a space where we could meet up with people for a fika – a cup of coffee and a bite of something sweet to eat. A place where we could meet with family and friends and just enjoy being together and hygge a bit, escape from the hustle and bustle of day-to-day life. When we first had the idea of opening a Nordic-inspired café almost ten years ago, it was near on impossible to find all the food goodies we missed from home. So we decided to

always wanted a welcoming space to be central to what we do, whether you are a homesick Nordic ex-pat looking for your fix of salty liquorice or anyone else just searching for a nice place for a cup of coffee and a good piece of cake. Anyone can feel a sense of hygge, a state of cosiness with friends where nothing else seems to matter. In the years since we opened our doors, much has changed about the way Scandinavia is viewed from outside our home countries. Back when we opened, nobody knew the word fika, and hygge was just another

create a place that reflected our love for the foods we missed. Being Swedish and Danish, it always seemed natural that the concepts of fika and hygge had to be central to everything we do at the café. One of the first things Jonas made sure was on the menu was the wholesome cinnamon bun – and Brontë even toyed with the idea of naming the café Hygge – reflecting just how important this concept is to us. We decided hygge might be tricky to pronounce for some, so settled for what we are: a homely Scandinavian kitchen run by a friendly bunch of people. We

unpronounceable Danish word. Nowadays, books are being written on the concepts of fika and hygge and it truly feels as if the world is waking up to the wonders of remembering to turn off the noise from our busy everyday routines. While we’re sure they could have done this without Scandinavia’s help, having the words to define what we feel is important. We hope you enjoy this selection of our favourite autumn and winter treats from Scandinavia and that you enjoy creating feelings of hygge and fika in your own homes. l

BUDAPEST ROLL This is my partner Jonas’s favourite cake. He doesn’t normally have much of a sweet tooth, but this is the one he requests for his birthday. The name Budapest has nothing to do with Hungary – this version of the cake was actually invented in Sweden. I have to admit, this cake is nostalgic for me: as a child of the eighties, there wasn’t a party without a meringue roll full of canned fruit. I do, however, really prefer to use fresh mandarins when they are in season. Serves 8-10 6 egg whites A pinch of salt 325g caster sugar 30g cornflour 1 tsp white wine vinegar 150g toasted hazelnuts, roughly ground in a food processor

For the mandarin filling 300ml double cream 1 tsp icing sugar 1 tsp vanilla sugar, extract or use the seeds from 1 vanilla pod 300g fresh mandarins For the topping 50g dark chocolate, melted 25g toasted chopped hazelnuts A 25 x 35cm Swiss roll pan/baking pan, greased and lined with baking parchment A large piping bag fitted with a plain nozzle

l Preheat the oven to 180°C. l In a very clean bowl, beat the egg whites with a teeny pinch of salt in a stand mixer (or using a hand-held electric whisk) until lightly stiff. Start adding the caster sugar, bit by bit. Keep whisking until you reach stiff peak stage, this may take a few minutes. Add the cornflour and white wine vinegar and beat again to incorporate. l Fold in the roughly ground hazelnuts. Fill the piping bag with the meringue mixture. Pipe into the prepared pan in an even layer. Alternatively, spoon the mixture into the pan and spread evenly. l Bake for around 25–30 minutes until the meringue is firm, slightly cracked on top and lightly browned. Leave to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. l Cut a large piece of baking parchment slightly larger than the pan and place on the worktop. Carefully turn the meringue out onto the baking parchment and let cool completely. l Meanwhile, whip the cream for the filling with the icing sugar and vanilla until stiff. Peel the mandarins and remove the pips and as much membrane as possible. Chop the flesh into small pieces. l Peel away the parchment paper from the cold meringue. If it is difficult to remove, brush the paper with a little water. Spread an even layer of whipped cream on top of the meringue and then add the mandarin pieces. Very carefully roll up the meringue lengthways, as tightly and neatly as possible, using the baking parchment to help you. l Transfer to a serving plate, making sure the seam is underneath. Tidy up any spills of cream. Drizzle the dark melted chocolate across the top in a messy pattern, then sprinkle with the toasted chopped hazelnuts. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve and slice into portions at the table.

CRISPY SWEET WAFFLES You may think that a waffle is just a waffle – but there are different types. These ones are called frasvåfflor and are crispier, best eaten straight away with a dollop of jam or sticky vanilla syrup and fresh fruit. Makes 16 waffles 150g butter, melted, plus a little extra for greasing 300g plain flour 2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp vanilla sugar, extract or use the seeds from 1 vanilla pod 250ml whole milk 250ml water Cloudberry or strawberry jam and whipped cream, or vanilla bean syrup and fresh fruit to serve (optional) A heart-shaped waffle iron – available online. You can use a different shaped iron, but cooking time and yield may vary

018_025_FF_Scandi Kitchen_1116.indd 23

l Heat up the waffle iron and brush with melted butter. Mix all the ingredients (apart from the serving suggestions) together to form a smooth batter. l Add a ladle full of batter to the preheated waffle iron and close the lid. Leave to cook for 2–3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and serve immediately with plenty of cloudberry or strawberry jam and whipped cream. Repeat with remaining batter. l To make a quick vanilla bean syrup to serve with the waffles, combine 150g caster sugar with the seeds from 1 vanilla bean and 100ml water. Bring to the boil then simmer for 4–5 minutes over high heat, taking care not to let the mixture bubble over or the sugar burn. If it’s reducing too quickly, shorten the cooking time or you will end up with a syrup that’s too thick. Remove from the heat and add sea-salt flakes to taste. Pour over the waffles to serve.

GINGERBREAD CAKE WITH LINGONBERRIES This cake is for those days when the wind is blowing outside, the rain smashes against the window and nobody has any intention of leaving the house. I think most Scandinavians love autumn and winter, despite the cold and dark, but I admit that perhaps I love it more than most. The childhood longing for snow and Christmas never left me as I got older and I can think of nothing nicer than spending time with the people I love, at home – ultimate hygge. If you can’t find lingonberries, raspberries or other tart berries also work well with this cake. Serves 8-12

l Preheat the oven to 180°C. l Melt the butter and set aside to cool a little.

175g butter 3 eggs 150g caster sugar 100g light brown soft sugar 300g plain flour 2 tsp baking powder 2 tsp ground cinnamon 1 tsp ground ginger 1 tsp ground cloves ½ tsp vanilla extract ½ tsp ground cardamom A pinch of salt 220ml whole milk

For the icing 175g butter, softened 180g cream cheese 400g icing sugar 50g lingonberries, defrosted (plus extra for decorating) Freshly squeezed juice of 1/2 lime 3 x 18cm round cake pans, greased and lined with baking parchment

l Using a balloon whisk or a hand-held electric whisk, beat the egg with the caster and light brown soft sugar until light and fluffy. l Combine the dry ingredients in a separate bowl, then sift into the egg mixture and fold in gently. Add the melted, cooled butter and whole milk and fold again until incorporated. l Divide the mixture between the three prepared cake pans and bake in the preheated oven for around 15 minutes or until well-risen, golden brown and springy to the touch. A skewer inserted into the middle should come out clean. Turn the cakes out onto a wire rack to cool. l To make the icing, combine the butter, cream cheese and icing sugar and beat on high speed using a stand mixer or a hand-held electric whisk until smooth. Drain the excess juice from the defrosted lingonberries, reserving a little, then add to the mixture. Beat again until light and fluffy. Add a few drops of the juice at the end to give a pale pink colour to the icing. l To assemble the cake, place a sponge layer on your serving dish and spread over a layer of icing. Repeat the process with the second and third layers, reserving a generous layer of icing for the final layer. Scatter with more lingonberries to decorate.

Classic Victoria sponge filled with buttercream and raspberry jam, crumb-coated with buttercream (recipe on foodiesfestival.com) 1.5kg white sugarpaste 250g royal icing, onethird of it coloured red

thickness of your marzipan spacers, brushing a little water on the drum and then laying the sugarpaste on top. Smooth your sugarpaste down using a straight-edge smoother and then trim the excess away as if you were trimming a pie dish. Finish the edges of your cake drum with red ribbon, secured with double-sided tape. l Mix your royal icing, colouring half of it scarlet. Fill 2 the small round nozzle piping bags with your 2 royal icing colours. Pipe a little white royal icing on the middle of the cake drum and carefully place your cake centrally on the drum. l To create the candy cane stripes around the side of your cake, begin with your white royal icing and small round nozzle and pipe gently until the icing connects with the top edge of your cake. Continue squeezing the piping bag and pull your nozzle 5 cm away from the cake and downwards. An unbroken line of icing should be coming from your nozzle and the pull of gravity should be guiding it down. When you have nearly reached the bottom of your cake, stop squeezing and guide your nozzle down to connect with the bottom edge before pulling away. lCarry on piping white pinstripes all around the sides of your cake at regular intervals before piping red royal icing pinstripes in between. l Use a piping bag fitted with a large open star nozzle to pipe a shell border along the top and bottom edges of your cake. l Crown your cake with 3 beautiful red wired roses and a few rose leaves. Leave to dry for a few hours before serving up with festive cheer.

CHARLOTTE WHITE www.restorationcake.com Why the Burlesque Baker? My first cake decorating book was called Burlesque Baking. When I took a copy of the book to Gaby Roslin at BBC Radio London, she introduced me as The Burlesque Baker and the name stuck. I have to confess that I do rather like the name; it suits my wardrobe!

How did you get into baking? My Nana taught me how to bake at a young age and I've baked ever since. There was a magical quality to my Nana's kitchen, where simple mixtures became fluffy fairy cakes and vegetables tasted really good. It turns out the latter was due to copious amounts of butter.

What can we expect from your Foodies Festival Masterclass? I will be showing you how to make some seriously glamorous cakes for Christmas. I'm doing 2 demonstrations at the Cake & Bake Theatre everyday. We will have fun, eat cake, and I'll do it all in stiletto heels! Well, I am the Burlesque Baker! www.foodiesfestival.com

ALEX HELY-HUTCHINSON FOODIES

Warm heart Nothing embodies the Danish conecpt of hygge better than porridge

VERYONE HAS a story about porridge. I frequently hear tales of how people like theirs, which toppings they prefer, the bowl they make it in, or who made it for them in the past, and where. It’s the ultimate nostalgia food because it has been cooked at home as part of day-to-day life almost forever. It was after a year abroad in Copenhagen as part of my degree that my love affair with porridge really took off. I loved it there. What struck me most was the quality of life, particularly when it came to food. After a few weeks in Copenhagen, I came across a new term, hygge. This Danish word has no literal English translation, but evokes feelings of warmth, cosiness and comfort. It was everything I associate with Danish food, in particular the sensation of wrapping my hands around a steaming bowl of porridge. The Danes do porridge properly. As well as oats they use ancient grains like spelt and barley, and top it with fragrant Nordic spices and fresh toppings. A bowl of grains may seem like simple fare but the Danes, wisely, never underestimate it.

When I got back to the UK I couldn’t stop thinking about the Danish approach to food. It was during this time that the seed of an idea from Copenhagen began to grow and I decided to start my own business, 26 Grains. We first opened in July 2014 as a pop-up at Old Street Station, London. I was apprehensive at the prospect of launching a porridge business midsummer. But as one customer rightly said: everyone –your mum, your trainer, your nutritionist, the lot– is telling you to eat porridge. And people are returning to it more and more but it is still hard to find a good bowl on the go. Opening a shop felt like a huge leap. I needed the security to be able to hire a brilliant team and buy the right equipment, so I turned to crowdfunding. After 30 days and 184 unbelievably kind individuals, we hit our target, enabling us to go from pop-up to permanent. The more I find out about food, the more I realise there is a long way to go before becoming any kind of master. But then I guess that kind of sums up what a bowl of grains signifies for me – porridge has delicious depths that belie its simplicity. l foodies 43

BLUEBERRY PORRIDGE When we opened the shop in June 2015, this blueberry porridge was one of the first on the menu and it was an instant hit. It’s a firm favourite when the berry season is underway. There is something so delicious when blueberries and maple come together. The sweet and sour berry and dark treacle syrup paired with creamy, salted oats makes this such a moreish breakfast. Serves 2

For the porridge 100g rolled oats, soaked in 250ml water for at least 30 minutes 250ml unsweetened almond milk ¼ tsp sea salt For the blueberry compote 250g blueberries 1 tbsp maple syrup Squeeze of lemon juice

l First make the blueberry compote: place the blueberries, maple syrup and lemon juice into a small pan with 1 tablespoon of water and allow to come to the boil. Once bubbling, take it off the heat and set aside. l Place the porridge ingredients, including the water the oats have been soaked in, into a pan over a medium heat and cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring continuously, until the oats have come together. l Spoon into 2 bowls and add the toppings in this order: a tablespoon of blueberries in a line down the middle with a pool of juice around the edge, then the seeds, strawberry slices, coconut flakes, almond butter and amaranth, if using.

To serve 2 tbsp mixed seeds, such as flaxseeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds A few strawberries, sliced 2 tbsp coconut flakes 2 tbsp Almond Butter from a jar or homemade 2 tbsp amaranth (optional)

AUTUMN SALAD WITH ROASTED BUCKWHEAT, WALNUTS AND LABNEH Autumn is my favourite season; I’m known for being endlessly distracted by the light, colours and the produce. In my little garden I can watch the pears on the tree grow plump and hot pink chard stems sprouting up. The air becomes just cool enough to hang the labneh on any outside door handle, to let it strain. You can let it drip into a bowl while you get started on pickling the beetroot and preparing the salad. Buckwheat adds a unique earthy crunch to the salad and lends a smokiness when it’s all combined. Serves 4

For the labneh 200g Greek-style yogurt 200g natural yogurt Pinch of sea salt For the beetroot pickle 1 beetroot, thinly sliced with a mandoline 1 golden beetroot, thinly sliced with a mandoline 60ml apple cider vinegar 2 tbsp honey Pinch of sea salt ¼ tsp dill seeds ¼ tsp yellow mustard seeds For the salad 100g buckwheat groats, soaked in water for 30 minutes 4 tbsp olive oil 200g rainbow chard, stems removed, washed and torn 1 pear, cored and thinly sliced 1 cucumber, sliced into 8cm sticks Bunch of radishes, washed and halved Juice of 1 lemon ½ garlic clove, crushed with a little sea salt Sea salt and black pepper 30g walnuts, roughly chopped, to serve (optional)

l Make the labneh first, either the night before or over the course of an afternoon. Combine the yogurts and salt in a bowl, then transfer to a sheet of muslin or a clean tea towel, pull up the sides, tie up the top with an elastic band or string and suspend over a bowl to let the liquids drain out for at least 6 hours, or overnight if possible. l Meanwhile, place all the ingredients for the beetroot pickle in a bowl with 60ml of water. Leave to pickle in the fridge for several hours or overnight. l The following day, rinse the soaked buckwheat under running hot water for 2 minutes, then drain and pat dry with kitchen paper. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil to a frying pan and place over a medium-low heat. Add the buckwheat and toast for 2 minutes until golden, stirring continuously so it doesn’t burn. l Mix the rainbow chard, pear, cucumber, pickled beetroot, radishes, remaining olive oil, lemon juice and garlic together and season well with sea salt and pepper. Stir in half the toasted buckwheat. l Divide between 4 plates and top with a good dollop or so of labneh, a sprinkle of the remaining buckwheat and walnuts, if using.

THAT’LL DHU NICELY. Debate rages over the distiller’s art but one name unites devotees and dabblers alike: Tamdhu.

Arguably the world’s finest 10-year old single malt whisky; established on Speyside 1897, reborn on Speyside 2013 (in hand-selected sherry casks no less).

So, once more, all can enjoy Tamdhu’s fresh, rich, spicy notes and pure natural colour.

Go on, carpe dhuem.

Rediscover Tamdhu at tamdhu.com

Enjoy your dram responsibly.
