Introduction
A collection of five comforting home-cooked dishes celebrating hearty seasonal produce and rich flavors. From slow-caramelized onion soup topped with cheesy toast to creamy cauliflower spaghetti, rich steak and ale pie, Mediterranean-style monkfish with bean stew, and crisp celeriac rémoulade with charcuterie.
Step 1
【Cheesy Onion Soup】Thinly slice 2 kg of mixed red and white onions. Heat a large casserole pan with 2 tbsp olive oil and a knob of butter over medium-high heat. Add 6 sliced cloves of garlic, followed by all the sliced onions, salt, and pepper.
Step 2
【Cheesy Onion Soup】Tie a bouquet garni of fresh sage, rosemary, and thyme with string and tuck it into the onions. Make a paper cartouche lid with small ventilation slits and place it directly over the onions. Cook gently for 20 minutes covered, then remove the cartouche and cook uncovered for another 20 minutes until caramelized and deep brown.
Step 3
【Cheesy Onion Soup】Deglaze the pan with 300 ml of British IPA beer and boil off the alcohol. Pour in 2.5 L of chicken stock, discard the herb bundle, and simmer for 10 minutes.
Step 4
【Cheesy Onion Soup】Toast thick slices of rustic bread in the oven. Spread with butter, English mustard, and slices of British farmhouse and blue cheeses. Float the toasts on top of the simmering soup, grate over extra cheese and a splash of Worcestershire sauce, then place under a hot grill for 5–10 minutes until golden and bubbling.
Step 5
【Creamy Cauliflower Cheese Spaghetti】Place 400 g frozen cauliflower florets and the white part of 1 trimmed leek into a bowl. Microwave for 10 minutes to pre-cook.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Cheesy Onion Soup: The parchment paper cartouche traps moisture initially to soften the onions thoroughly before browning, releasing maximum natural sugars.
Cauliflower Spaghetti: Microwaving frozen cauliflower and leek beforehand speeds up the process and tenderizes them without waterlogging.
Pie Crust: When rolling pastry, always push the rolling pin forward rather than working side to side to keep an even lamination.
Runner Beans: Use a dedicated runner bean cutter or speed peeler to remove the tough fibrous string running along the seam.
Celeriac Rémoulade: Massaging the julienned celeriac by hand breaks down its crisp texture, allowing the creamy acidic dressing to coat every strand thoroughly.
