Ever-open, eminently relatable, sensibly priced spots of this sort will always have an audience A London chophouse has taken up residence on St Philip’s Place, Birmingham, on the edge of Cathedral Square, or “Pigeon Park”, as the locals call it. This particular nook of Brum city centre is a magnet to those feathered blighters, although Blacklock ’s smoulderingly macho menu is ironically pigeon-meat free, revolving instead around heaps of chops and steaks cooked over charcoal. There’s porterhouse, bone-in sirloin, lamb rump and pig’s head on toast. Launched in London in 2015 , Blacklock was the elegant, edgy, no-nonsense dining experience for groovy young things who quite literally wanted meat and two veg, so long as said veg was dripping-fat chips; it now has five sites in the capital and another in Manchester. “We just ended up at Blacklock,” people used to tell me half a dozen times a week, then go on to rave about the bread, the gravy and the ash-baked sweet potatoes, and revel in the glorious simplicity of it all. Modern life was complex, Blacklock was not, but neither was it cheap enough to feel like a jaunt down the Toby Carvery . And now its big flavours and broad appeal have hit the UK’s second city.

When it comes to Thanksgiving desserts, pumpkin pie is one of those recipes that deserves a spot on your holiday table. As much as I love a traditional pumpkin pie, I don’t always love the extra work that comes with making one — especially when the oven is already working overtime. That’s where this recipe for no-bake pumpkin cream pie comes in. It has everything I love about the classic, but with a rich, creamy filling that comes together without ever turning on the oven.

As a professional recipe developer, I have a lot of kitchen equipment at home. But one of my all-time favorite pieces of cookware is the Cuisinart 2-quart pour saucepan. It has a built-in strainer, which makes it a total game-changer in my kitchen. At first glance, it looks like a regular saucepan — but the lid is designed to strain, and the pot has a pour spout so you can boil and drain without hauling out a colander. READ MORE...

If gnocchi is on the menu, I’m ordering it. Italian is one of my all-time favorite cuisines, and there’s just something about the texture of those little potato dumplings that brings a smile to my face — and belly. I made gnocchi from scratch once, and while it was delicious, it was an absolute feat. (It may or may not have taken me four hours. READ MORE...

Our coffee snob spills the beans on which granules hint at chocolate and caramel, and which leave a bitter note • Everything you need to make great coffee I’m a coffee snob with my own grinder, but I found the haptic thwack, whack and crack of opening the lid and film on a jar of instant coffee strangely invigorating, and rather nostalgic. When I took a deep sniff, however, disaster: all I could smell was fertiliser! Instant coffee is brewed at scorching temperatures, then either freeze-dried in a vacuum or spray-dried using hot air. This industrial process strips away many of the volatile flavour compounds and bright aromas that make fresh coffee smell so good. This gives it an earthier, muskier and more bitter flavour profile, though, thankfully, with a little alchemy and hot water, those more familiar coffee aromas and flavours returned, with notes of chicory, bitter chocolate and burnt sugar. Almost all of these products have a similar industrial imprint, uniform granules and a one-dimensional flavour profile, so they’re ultimately more a simulation of the real thing. That said, some did surprise me. At best, they taste like a cup of office filter coffee, made in a commercial drip machine and left just long enough for its aromas to fade. At worst, instant coffee tastes like cardboard and burnt rubber steeped in water. The addition of milk, however, transforms many cups and makes them far more drinkable and even comforting, bringing out notes of chocolate, nuts and caramel. Continue reading...
