		<description><![CDATA[Fry baby, fry! Fritters are fancied by all of us. They&#8217;re simple, they&#8217;re homely, they&#8217;re comfortable, and they sit well at any meal, at any time of day or night, on their own, or in the most exclusive company.
One of the favourite dishes from my old restaurant days was prawns sitting on a bed of [...]]]></description>

There&#8217;s something very instinctive about preservation. Holding on to what we have. Preservation followed by regeneration. The story of life. In the kitchen, we discovered [...]]]></description>

And it really does go beautifully with cauliflower, particularly when the white sauce is mixed at the end with an aggressive melting cheese like cheddar. It&#8217;s very simple to make.

My favourite soup of all soups is pea and ham. Somehow, the combination of subtle smokiness, chunks of boiled ham, and the brilliant freshness [...]]]></description>
