The kitchen orchard : fridge foraging and simple feasts: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The kitchen orchard : fridge foraging and simple feasts" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Every modern kitchen features a fridge and a cupboard. The bare essentials. But for Natalia Abraham, they are an orchard - the source of abundant meals, platefuls of fresh salads or slow-cooked vegetables - it just requires a little imagination. Natalias cooking draws inspiration from seasonal produce, which she combines with essential everyday ingredients - a little cream, fresh herbs, good stock, a head of garlic, leftover cheese or wine - so that nothing goes to waste. She matches dishes to occasions, time constraints or even mood, relishing the endless possibilities on offer with a thoughtfully stocked fridge and store cupboard. With over 100 recipes grouped around the dairy compartment (storing eggs, milk, cream and wine), the vegetable drawer (housing root vegetable and robust herbs), and the top drawer (garlic, onions, lemons and fresh seasonal herbs), Natalia takes one hero ingredient and builds the dish around a core flavour. Lemons go into a salad of beetroot, dill and mustard, as well as ricotta, lemon and polenta teacakes. Fresh rosemary flavours a soup of white bean and ham hock, and another of pumpkin and smoked pork. Plain carrots are transformed into both carrot, mint and lemon salad and fluffy carrot and walnut cake Natalias cooking celebrates simply, affordable food, cooked really well - celebrating taste, aroma and the joy of eating and sharing.

Recipe List
Peppers, parsley, garlic

I think that this dish is a great way of eating sweet red peppers when they are at their best at the height of summer. My mother used to make a version of this, which she called lecs. It was her version of a Hungarian dish that her mother used to make, to which her mother added finely sliced onions, fresh dill and, at the end, a beaten egg stirred in and cooked by the heat of the dish.

SERVES 4 AS A SIDE DISH

sweet red peppers

tablespoons olive oil

garlic cloves, finely sliced

tablespoons flat-leaf parsley , roughly chopped, plus extra to finish

salt and freshly ground black pepper

Peel the peppers using a potato peeler. Peel them as if you were peeling an apple, working round the pepper but leave a gap between each circle. You should end up with a pepper thats half-peeled and looks stripey. Cut it in half and remove the seeds, then cut each half into medium strips (you should have stripes of skin along the length of each strip).

In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the olive oil over a medium heat. Add the garlic slices and leave to colour. Season generously with salt. When the garlic is golden brown and just starting to stick to the bottom of the pan and the wooden spoon, add the peppers and the parsley. Toss the contents of the pan about a bit, then reduce the heat and add 3 tablespoons of water. Cook covered, stirring regularly until the peppers are very soft about 30 minutes. Finish with more chopped parsley and pepper.

Peppers, Parsley, Garlic

Carrots, parsley, honey

These carrots make a great side dish for sausages or roast meat. I also like a large bowl of them on a cold night with a mustardy green salad and some warm bread.

SERVES 3 AS A SIDE DISH

tablespoons olive oil

carrots , washed thoroughly, roughly chopped into 1cm-thick diagonals

garlic cloves, peeled, finely sliced

tablespoon honey

tablespoons flat-leaf parsley leaves, roughly chopped

salt and freshly ground black pepper

In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, gently heat the olive oil. Add the carrots to the pan and leave them to colour, adding a little salt. You want the carrots to really brown and almost catch at the bottom. Turn them and add the garlic slivers, allowing them to sizzle in the olive oil. Stir the carrots and garlic and add a couple of tablespoons of water to help loosen any bits of carrot that may have stuck to the bottom of the pan. Add the honey and continue to cook on a low heat. Finally, add the parsley, some freshly ground pepper and place a lid on the saucepan, leaving the carrots to cook on a very gentle heat. You want to cook the carrots until they are really starting to fall apart about 30 minutes. During this time, if you feel that they are starting to burn at the bottom, add a splash more water.

Chicken, parsley, green beans

SERVES 4 AS A MAIN COURSE

300g

boiled chicken (it would be good to use the boiled chicken from a chicken soup, see )

tablespoons Basil, Garlic, Pine Nuts 1 (see )

tablespoons whole parsley leaves

tablespoons coriander leaves

400g

fine green beans , blanched until soft but still holding their shape

Toss the chicken with the basil sauce, herbs and the green beans until everything is mixed together well; it should be so well combined that each mouthful contains sauce, chicken, herbs and beans.

Swiss chard, parsley, spinach

The clean and fresh taste of this recipe serves as a lovely accompaniment to rich dishes.

SERVES 4 AS A SIDE DISH

tablespoons olive oil

garlic cloves, peeled and cut into fine slivers

bunch Swiss chard , leaves blanched, stalks roughly chopped into 1cm pieces and blanched until soft

500g

spinach , blanched until soft in plenty of boiling salted water and drained well

small handful capers

juice of 2 lemons

bunch flat-leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped

salt and freshly ground black pepper

In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil and fry the garlic until golden brown. Add the Swiss chard leaves and stalks, spinach, capers and toss with the garlic and oil. Add the lemon juice and parsley. Check the seasoning and serve.

Chicken, parsley, carrot soup

The most stressful element of Jewish holidays for my mother was neither the gathering together of large numbers of Jewish friends and relatives, nor the possibly traumatic theme of the holiday, but rather more the ordeal of having to eat one of her friends attempts at chicken soup. Pond water tended to be her description. A number of my recipes are variations on my mothers, however I do not believe this recipe can be bettered. So here it is in its most original form: chicken soup la Katyushka, my mother.
