Jamie At Home - Summer Brassicas

Tuesday, June 12th, 2007

I’m not a big fan of broccoli and cauliflowers, but Jamie comes up with this incredible canneloni which I have to give a try sometime. Even the fritters look delicious. Check it out and tell me what you think by leaving a comment!

From the garden Jamie picks some incredible lime green and purple cauliflowers and uses them to make curried fritters with a brilliantly simple batter. Cauliflower and broccoli are used for a simple, hearty cannelloni and Jamie cooks ham and spring greens with mustard and celery leaves.

Jamie At Home - Strawberries

Thursday, June 7th, 2007

Strawberries is what the 4th episode of Jamie at Home is all about. As always, some yummy ideas for a salad, and a few other dishes.

Jamie’s garden is bursting with strawberries from hanging baskets, a great way to grow them, and he picks them in situ to make a strawberry salad with speck and halloumi. Not only are they good fresh, Jamie shows us more inventive ways with the traditional strawberry - his take on a classic is grilled strawberries with Pimms. Whilst there are a glut of strawberries in season Jamie shows us how to make the most of them by making a really simple, delicious strawberry jam which he serves hot with a creamy rice pudding.

Jamie At Home - Onions

Monday, June 4th, 2007

Onions, I guess you love em or you don’t. In the third episode of Jamie at Home, he creates 3 dishes with onions, and I have to say that the oven baked potatoes and onions with balsamic vinegar looked delicious, I have to try that soon! Again I wasn’t impressed with every single dish, but that’s not going to stop me from posting it for you…

Jamie pulls up some of his first onions of the year and makes a crisp and fresh cheese and onion salad. The red onions he uses in an onion and potato al forno with tender roast pork. Jamie makes a sensational English onion and leek soup with cheddar cheese.

Jamie At Home - Peas and Broad Beans

Sunday, June 3rd, 2007

The second episode of Jamie at Home was about Peas and Broad Beans. I wasn’t really enthousiastic when I read the title, or when I watched the episode, but if you have peas or broad beans growing in your garden I guess he gives you a few doable ideas.

In this show Jamie makes three inspired recipes using the freshest peas and broad beans picked straight from the garden. Jamie extols their raw qualities in a beautiful pea and broad bean ’posh beans on toast’, their vivid colour in spiced broad bean fritters, and uses peas as a finishing touch to a spaghetti and meatball dish.
