Читать книгу My Virgin Kitchen: Delicious recipes you can make every day - Barry Lewis - Страница 14

This chapter is a gentle introduction to the book, easing you in with recipes that make you, well … feel good. Of course, there are slightly healthier ones too, such as the Sweet Potato & Kale Hash or the Salmon Rosti Islands, but for me the phrase ‘feel-good’ can be something else: a dish that makes you proud of your achievement in some way. For me this could be something like the Steak & Roast New Potato Salad or slightly naughty Squidgy Beetroot Brownies. It’s all about balance. Each of the recipes in this chapter uses some really interesting combinations, making use of ingredients and food trends that have cropped up in recent years and, of course, everything I’ve learned to date.

Some of my personal favourites in this chapter are the Caprese Chicken Salad, thanks to its gorgeous taste, eye-catching colour and simplicity and the Coconut Crumbed Chicken, which just works an absolute charm – I’m superproud of that one. And for a real feel-good, cosy dish it has to be the Chicken, Porcini & Barley Soup – a super-chunky, hearty dish that is perfect for a winter night.

Give the recipes a go and don’t forget to reach out on social media to let me know the recipes that make you feel good too!
