Alexina Anatole · Sweet
A joyous one-bowl affair that will bring colour and zing to winter days. I love this best with blood oranges, but it could also be made with standard oranges, clementines, grapefruits or lemons (or a mix).
Salted Molasses Fudge
Alexina Anatole · Sweet
This requires a few hours to set and dry out (the more it dries out, the better it gets). Molasses is my preference, but you could also use treacle here. Fudge is the pure embodiment of sugar, and not for the faint of heart. I loved it as a kid and my obsession is still going strong. This fudge is intense, with the molasses lending a slightly bitter-umami taste (not dissimilar to coffee) that ups the ante from a flavour perspective but avoids a sickly-sweet aftertaste. Fudge can be smooth, creamy and slightly chewy (Cornish clotted cream fudge), or sandy and crumbly (Scottish tablet). I’m personally with the Scots on this one, and this recipe reflects that.
Chicory Gratin
Alexina Anatole · Bitter
This is a delicious, warming dish that hails from Belgium (and Northern France): bitter chicory are braised, wrapped in salty ham, smothered in a mustard-spiked béchamel sauce and showered in umami-rich grated Gruyère. I am indebted to MasterChef winner Eddie Scott for alerting me to the beauty of braising the chicory in beer — something that obviously suits the theme of this book. This dish is delicious as a meal in its own right, served with a green salad, but it also works well as a side to meat. If you’d rather keep this dish meat-free, you can easily leave out the ham, bearing in mind that the bitterness of the chicory will come through a little stronger.
