Feast

"Food can never just be about the bald story of the recipe: the meals we eat say something fundamental about who we are and how we want to live. Whenever an occasion matters to us, we mark this with food, from a birthday cake to a wedding breakfast. But Feast is not just about big-deal special occasions: it’s about the way we use food to celebrate life."

‘Food is the vital way we celebrate anything that matters. It’s how we mark the connections between us; how we celebrate life.’ Food that celebrates life. Joyful meals to share with those you love, from big occasions to everyday pleasures.

Simnel Cake
Simnel Cake Originally, this cake was made for Mothering Sunday, but it has for a long, long time been an essential Easter confection, the marzipan balls on top representing the apostles: eleven in total as, for understandable reasons, Judas is persona non grata. I make this a very light fruit cake, totally different in taste and texture from the damp, dark offerings of Christmas.

Pasta With Ham, Peas and Cream
Pasta with Ham, Peas and Cream: I seem to remember that when I lived in Florence this pasta - with the cream, the peas, the ham - went under the name "alla Medici". After another long weekend with the little angels, the designation seems indecently appropriate.

Pasta With Onions and Anchovies
Pasta with Anchovy Sauce: I have a feeling that this is another recipe with a del Conte derivation, although I have cooked it so often over the years, I can't now remember what I've added to it and when. I know that people feel very strongly about anchovies, but this is guaranteed - as much as one can guarantee anything - to overcome the most squealing of prejudices.
