5 reasons to buy our November issue
Celebrate November’s produce
Embrace the month’s comforting flavours which keep us going through the winter months. We’ve revamped some of our favourites using the best of November’s produce, including a creamy carbonara lifted with silky leeks, a curried celeriac with the cubes soaking up the flavours in a curry sauce, and extra-sweet peanut butter and date flapjacks.
Revamped Winter warmers
Bring comfort to the family or your friends with our new seasonal dishes that are exceptional for entertaining. For meat-eaters, there’s a sweet and spiced meatball with feta swirl inspired by classic Middle Eastern flavours, or for veggies there’s a warming savoury tart filled with pumpkin, pine nut and chilli pesto.
Explore the flavours of Singapore and Malaysia
Transport yourself to Malaysia with three recipes from Many Yin’s new book: Sambal Shiok: The Malaysian Cookbook. Explore the sweet, sour, salty and bitter flavours which define this Southeast Asian country. Plus, Edoardo Pellicano, executive chef of Mãos, shares what he loves about the food of Singapore.
Seaside suppers
Bring chilled coastal vibes to the table with three courses from The Hut on the Isle Of Wight, including an impressive starter of tiger prawns, a light yet deeply flavoured bream with green tomato salsa and for dessert, caramelised pineapple inspired by everyone’s favourite cocktail, Piña colada.
Counter intelligence
Understand what it takes to be a chef and become, as Tony Naylor says, one of ‘the gang’ with this month’s fascinating restaurant read. From sushi perfection at Maru and a deeply intimate experience at Evelyn’s Table to sharing plates at Eleanore, we look at Britain’s hottest counter dining options so you yourself can make a coveted booking.
