OK, so this is not your average student meal, but it is nevertheless something we should all know how to do.
It was my birthday at the end of june and I was given, by my housemates, a rather fabby book entitled: "Gü Chocolate Cookbook". Everything in it contains chocolate. This makes it amazing. Fullstop. This recipe is featured in it. I have, however, adapted it slightly and made it a cake, not a collection of bite sized chunks. It is quite simply brilliant. Stuffed full of white chocolate, honey and sugar, it cannot be described as one of your five a day, but this does not matter. Give it a go. You will not be disappointed. Yah, I know. This sounds amazing. It is. Do it. From a really old recipe book called "Entertaining with Tovey". Have a shot at it. Who doesn't like a bit of ice cream!? You don't even need one of those fancy machines. It just freezes. Ingredients
Method Separate the egg whites and egg yolks. We only want the yolks but hang onto the whites and you can make meringue. Beat for a good 5 minutes until they thicken. Add the honey. Beat for another 5 minutes. Check out the photos below for consistency. This is a good, cheap meal to make. It tastes great and does not require complicated ingredients. This is an adaption of one of Nigel Slater's recipes. If you haven't got his books, get them, unlike some recipes you find, they actually work! Also, you can use the remaining liquid as a soup. Ingredients
Method Chop the leeks into cork sized chunks and separate the fennel into layers. Remember to cut off the ends of both and to peel the first layer of the leeks. Lightly brown the chicken in some butter and olive oil. Season well with salt and pepper. The outside of the chicken should not be pink (but don't worry about the middle). Supermarkets: places you go into with a set idea of what you are going to buy, but come out of with something totally different.
Today, I went to one and walked up and down the aisles desperately trying to locate Fennel, but emerged with glacé cherries! To be honest I was looking for an excuse to try these. The other day, whilst I was still up in Durham, I tried to do shortbread/biscuits in the microwave but for a number of reasons these did not work as well as I had hoped and I put it partly down to the microwave (I know a bad workman blames his tools but microwave heat is different). Thus, now I have an oven on site, I thought I would give it another go! They are brilliant. Give it a shot! This has to be the easiest lunch ever. It's a healthy one too!

Break the eggs into a bowl and beat with a fork. Today, I went to watch the tennis at Wimbledon. It was fabulous. My brother and I got up at 04:15 so that we could get good tickets in the queue. We were lucky to get Court 2 tickets where we saw the Bryan brothers play. Doubles is definitely underrated. They are amazingly quick. The weather was glorious too! Perfect for a spot of sorbet!
This is genuinely one of the most underrated and to the untrained eye, strange, ideas yet.
Let me explain. Sandwiches are generally divided into two categories: first, the sandwich - that is, bread and butter and cheese. This is a classic but quite ordinary. Second, the more exciting toastie. The main drawback here is that you really have to have a toastie maker. There is, however, a third category. This is the Hot'n'Cold Sandwich. |
