CannyCat Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 I caught an episode of Bill Granger's coockery programme on Saturday and was totally bowled over. His food is so simple - the kind of food you'd actually cook and eat, you know?! And he was so honest - I've never heard a TV chef say, "and some days I just can't be bothered to cook"! I loved the sound of every single recipe he cooked - very rare - so I've put his book on my birthday list but in the meantime I cooked up the Chicken, Tomato And Fennel Casserole, which he cooked on the show. It was delicious! Best casserole I've ever had. Great with pasta You can find it online, here: http://www.hub-uk.com/foodpages40/recipe1951.htm Catherine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Sounds good. Interesting chef, I hadn't heard of him before. To think he started out serving scrambled eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xraylady Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 made this yesterday, delish!! The grocers were out of fennel -so I substituted celeriac (another veg I had never tried also) - was feeling adventurous & added more crushed fennel seeds. Very good served it over 'bow tie' pasta - everyone liked it Thanks for the tip, Catherine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 I had it at the weekend but left out the fresh fennel (don't like it) and added more onion instead it was very tasty I served it over rice which soaked up loads of sauce I have some sauce left in a tub and I am not sure what to do with it I did think about using it as a pasta sauce with a little parmesan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oooo that sounds nice! We had our leftover sauce with pasta - I'm sure you could freeze it too, for future occasions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 They usually show up when you have given up waiting for them and are stuffing your face! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
