    Cooking tips and wonderful flavour combinations

    I've tried three differnet types now and would recommend getting one with as high a percentage of broad bean is as possible. This one is 35% IIRC and the one to go for, proper thick and funky and hot. There is one that's that popular brand that do loads of sauces but it's runnier and not...

    Roast chicken stuffed with loads of chopped preserved lemons, garlic, chorizo, paprika, olive oil and a little dried chilli was amazing - the sickest roasting juices. Going to try a stew version of this on thursday, super easy. Maybe some cubed turnip in there too.

    Wicked! I always have Pixian bean paste, Tinjiang preserved veg, sesame oil, soy, Cooking wine, Sichuan pepper, ginger and garlic and that's about all you need for lots of stuff.

    Where should I eat in London?

    Nice one. Frizzante at Hackney city Farm on Thursday does very nice farmhouse style Italian 0 home made pasta, lovely meat and veg and v good house red for £13.

    I have the new FD book and it's ace. It's got a few familiar things from earlier books with lots of new stuff, mainly simple veg based dishes and some meats too. Very nicely laid out also, simple clean feel to it. More of a 'normal' feel to it than the Sichuan one, which you have to invest a bit...

    what are you reading now?

    I read Junk/y last year and thought it was amazing, started reading his books in chronological order. You should definitely check out Junk and Queer - first two books which are highly autobiographical and not written weirdly. The Yage Letters fits in after Junk but is a bit of a footnote rather...
