If you weren't as lucky as me you can get it on Amazon (other good booksellers are available...)
The first recipie I decided to cook from it is one that is a favourite of mine at the Resturant so I was so glad to see it in the book - Sushi Brown Rice Salad with Smoked Salmon - Page 60. Unfortunately I had to miss out one of the ingreedients - Mouli (white radish) as I couldn't get it from Tesco's or Sainsburys - any ideas where to track it down? My cucumbers were crescents as opposed to the specified diamonds - couldn't work out how to make a diamond from a deseeded cucumber! I reckon the result was pretty much spot on to what I've been served in the resturant. I give you my version...
A big thumbs up all round - although Mr & Boy reckoned it needed more salmon or the addition of some prawns to fill them up - greedy pigs! I especially liked the black onion seeds - not an ingreedient that I'd ever used before. Lovely flavour and fab colour contrast. Can definately see me using them again alongside sesame seeds (famous last words - they'll probably end up going out of date alongside all the other strange things in my spice rack bought for one specific recipie!)
Very interesting idea for a Blog! Have seen the Giraffe cookbook but not entirely sure it's for me. So I will be following you to see if I can be persuaded.
ReplyDeleteShame you couldn't add the mouli - never heard of it before. Looks as if you'd need to find an asian store perhaps? I found this website, maybe you could substitute some grated radish instead?
