"Instead of panko try French biscottes which you wizz in the food processor or blender - they are probably (from the description above) very similar - and cheaper!"

Peach & almond tart
13 comments
"Like Suzanne I am "not good" with pastry - in fact hopeless, but I followed the recipe religiously, and it came out well, and is delicious too. I agree though that you must have good peaches. Added the insides of a vanilla pod to the custard mix & the glaze too, so it also looked quite professional, and up to the standards of my local patisserie. Was a lovely summer pud to follow's Barney's Pancetta-wrapped trout, eaten outdoors on a memorable and balmy evening."

Pancetta-wrapped trout
11 comments
"First catch your trout... Made this last night, on the neighbours' BBQ, with brown trout caught by husband in a Pyrenees brook. (Bye the way he has asked me to mention that they were not small at all - très grosses!). But in true spirit of the Entente Cordiale, they were wrapped with English bacon rather than pancetta. A real winner with said neighbours, so merci beaucoup Barney"

Spanish meatballs with clams, chorizo & squid
14 comments
"This is sooooo good for a robust meal with friends, lots of gutsy red wine and plenty of bread to mop up the sauce. Mr/Ms Ensy is quite right about the fresh clams (be sure to give them a good clean) and squid. Kids like this too - all round a big hit."

Chicken & couscous one-pot
109 comments
"Great recipe, and easily adaptable as so many reviewers have mentioned. I usually make it with quail instead of chicken, adding red peppers with the onions and plumped raisins at the end. A really good family dish"
