Pelosi created a cookbook to share 101 recipes paired with beautiful, bright imagery and the same heartfelt personal details his fans expect from him via social media. It’s a gift that will keep on giving (especially if you’re invited over to try their latest recipe).” The first cookbook from English foodie and author of The Year Of Eating Dangerously-comfort food from the country that invented it

In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk (or a large bowl if using a handheld mixer), combine the cream, sour cream, sugar, and vanilla. Beginning on low speed and increasing to medium, whisk until stiff peaks form, 3 to 4 minutes. Her father was a huge influence on her cooking style and know-how. “He loved cooking and using lots of herbs and spices and dried fruits, making dishes that were fragrant with many flavours and textures.

he’s sharing the classics, plus recent culinary creations, like his (brilliant!) Rainbow Cookie Loaf Cake.” Preheat the oven to 475°F. Lightly cover the grouse breasts with butter and season inside and out. Put in a roasting pan and into the searing hot oven for about 15 minutes. You want rare meat, not bloody. The breasts should feel fairly firm. If too soft, they're not cooked. Remove the bird from the pan, and leave to rest while you make the gravy. It was important that the dishes were easy to make at home — I was true to the way I make them in my kitchen.”

Tom's strange ideas concerning saturated fat - it would have been nice to see more 'low fat' workarounds in some of these recipes.

There are endless arguments as to the origins of beef Stroganoff—whether it was a Hungarian dish, a classic Russian one, or a French one, inspired by Russia. The Stroganovs were a rich and wealthy family of merchants, traders with a long geographical reach. And one of the clan was said to have employed a French chef who is reputed to have created the dish. Other experts disagree, citing the etymology as derived from strogat, meaning in Russian to "cut into pieces." The truth is long lost. What remains, though, is a dish that uses sour cream and paprika. Well, sometimes. In other recipes, it uses cream instead. Some marinate the meat, others don't. There is no real "authentic recipe" and this one most certainly isn't. But it's broadly recognizable and tastes damned good, too. Put the remaining lard or olive oil into a 7 x 11-inch baking or roasting pan and put into the oven for a few minutes, until smoking. Pour one-third of the batter into the pan. When it starts to rise and set in the hot oil, arrange the sausages in it and pour over the rest of the batter. Bake for 25–30 minutes until the batter is browned and billowing. So, yeah, Pelosi is an internet-famous chef, now with a book on the shelves, but for the full picture of what it means to achieve true recipe virality, you have to take in both sides. Through both digital and printed text, we can see a right way to be online: by keeping in mind that the internet should always be in service of Real Life™, that it is cool to have a lot of followers and share mouthwatering photos of food you’ve made, but also that you can only eat pizza with (your own version of) Bimpy in reality. Limor was also close to her grandmother, auntie and uncle and would go and visit them on the kibbutz every chagim. A truly seasonal British treat. I start to get the urge round about the end of July, and by 12th August, when the season starts, I'm craving my first taste. When you have a young bird, it would be heresy to do anything other than roast it, with all the traditional trimmings: clear gravy, fried breadcrumbs, and bread sauce. There's no need for bacon, as it tends to overwhelm the delicate taste.

If beans, bacon, and Burgundy don't ooze comfort, then God only knows what does. Comfort food is familiar, without fuss, drama, or pomp. Straightforward, reliable, and ever welcome, this is the Ronseal of recipe types: "Does exactly what it says on the tin." It's all about easy pleasure and solid flavours, an edible balm that tastes exactly as it should. I laughed out loud at Tom's description of a 'British' bolognese, smiled when reading about the movie magic of meatballs, and shook my head when I heard about his week of living on eggs for the Mail on Sunday paper. Did you know you can test the age of an egg by placing it in a jug of water? (If it floats, bin it!) I didn't before reading Tom's book... It is, though, the most subjective of culinary categories, as the choice of dish is defined entirely by one's gastronomic past. A childhood spent tugging the apron strings of a great English cook will produce markedly different dishes to a youth passed alongside wok and cleaver. Yet anyone with a heartbeat and opposable thumb will have at least one dish—be it hot buttered toast, red lentil dhal, or peppered tripe soup—that coddles, comforts, and soothes. Both of my parents’ families moved to America when my parents were children. The family legend of my savta Zahava is that one branch never left Israel even after the destruction of the Second Temple and the failed Bar Kochba revolt. The family stayed in the north of Israel. My Savta said that her heart broke when they had to leave Israel for economic reasons.And the 80 recipes in her book reflect that ethos, with plenty of simple dishes for the working parent who wants to feed their family proper food with punchy flavours. Some developed from memories of her family’s staples and others have been created since she and Amir founded the restaurants that now boast legions of fans.

Take a rectangular pie or baking dish and pile in the hot meat. Top with the mash. Fork the top of the mash so it looks like a choppy sea. Dot with a little extra butter and bake for 20–30 minutes, until the top is golden and the meat bubbling fiercely below. Serve with boiled peas. Recipe 1: Orange, red onion & basil salad (p. 132, made 10/20/12): Easy, colorful, fresh, tasty. For more efficient grazing, I recommend cutting up the orange into bite-size chunks and the onion into slivers. Put 2 tablespoons of the lard or olive oil into a frying pan over a medium heat, then cook the sausages until you have a good colour.

If you're already a fan [of Dan Pelosi] who's found comfort in his Reels, consider this collection of 101 recipes you can recreate at home, from Italian Gay Wedding Soup and Mom's Stuffed Artichokes to Four-Cheese Lasagna and Porchetta. Limor now lives in north-west London with Amir and their two children, but her sisters are in Israel where they are supporting the relatives of the hostages and the survivors of the Supernova party. Verdict? Yummy, time-consuming, pot-consuming, and VERY, VERY, VERY RICH. But again, it's really hard for a recipe to fail with butter, cream, milk, scallops, shrimp, taters, etc. I think I might like to try my hand at a fish pie again, but would like to explore some of the many other variations out there. There is no one fish pie standard; there are recipes that call for all kinds of interesting additions - breadcrumbs, dry mustard, grated veggies, lemon zest, etc... Is it indeed a "really good fish pie"? This can only be answered after future explorations.
