This week's @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social Almond and lemon spiced treacle tart www.theguardian.com/food/2026/ap... Absolutely delicious! Easy to make and the pastry was perfect. Had it with cream but not from a trolley! I can hear Victoria Wood now saying 'Is it on the trolley?'

Thank you @lucyantal.bsky.social for being my eyes on the paper

Corsican Omelette is #RecipeOfTheDay! To make it properly Corsican, the cheese you’d need for it is Brocciu, but since that doesn’t really exist beyond Corsica, soft goat’s cheese does the trick – but it’s the addition of fresh mint that really makes it sing. www.nigella.com/recipes/cors...

This week's @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social Hazelnut and chocolate cake www.theguardian.com/food/2026/ap... Easy to make, tastes delicious and no sign of sinking. Result! Just need to get some cream or ice cream. Louisa & Captain Wentworth 'try for a gleaning of nuts in a... hedge-row' in Persuasion.

This week's @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social Easter cannelloni with spinach, peas, ricotta and mozzarella www.theguardian.com/food/2026/ap... Found fresh pasta sheets but forgot to buy a lemon. Lots of prep dishes (& washing up!) and quite fiddly rolling the tubes. It did taste very good though.

Always happy to contribute to the Guardian feast newsletter. Which is weekly, written by a rotation of contributors and columnists, and (if you sign up) arrives in your in-box every Thursday at midday. This week pesto, mess optional. www.theguardian.com/food/2026/ma...

This week's @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social Potato, aubergine and herb tortino alla fiorentina. Easy to make & delicious. Made in our Irish holiday accommodation with local potatoes & cheese. Yes, the kitchen did smell gorgeous. Had it with salad & bread. Perfect! www.theguardian.com/food/2026/ma...

This week's @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social Spaghetti with mushrooms, soft cheese and herbs www.theguardian.com/food/2026/ma... Super easy to make & tasted delicious. Had it for a quick meal on Saturday evening after a day out doing parkrun & exploring a town history trail. I'll be making this again.

This week's @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social Risotto in bianco (white risotto with parmesan broth) www.theguardian.com/food/2026/ma... A great way to use my left over parmesan rinds. I think mine dried out a bit as I ran out of broth! Had it with green salad and a drizzle of balsamic. Beautiful!

@rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social 's beans with greens and sausages tonight with hog roast sausages and Bold Beans Borlotti Beans. Very very delicious

This week's @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social Apple, honey and poppyseed cake As I had no poppyseeds mine was just apple & honey! I've never made a cake with honey instead of sugar so was a bit nervous. No need as it turned out perfectly. I'll be making this again. www.theguardian.com/food/2026/ma...

Still nearly an hour until lunch, so torturing myself reading recipes online. Definitely going to give this one from @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social a go, maybe in half term when I've more time. Pork a bit more affordable than most meat, and plenty of Bay, sage and rosemary in the garden.

This week's @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social Pork ragu with herbs (for gnocchi or pasta). www.theguardian.com/food/2026/fe... Delicious! Easy to make as it just bubbled away for a couple of hours with the occasional check & stir. Had ours with gnocchi. "Bisto kids in middle-aged bodies" - aah... yes!

I have a proof of Anita "Spring" Council's cookbook, Southern Roots: Recipes and Stories from Mama Dip's Daughter, and it's absolutely wonderful. Visiting her mother's restaurant was one of the best experiences I've ever had; her daughter has done her proud.

Bentornata @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social!

Delighted at the return of @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social recipes with Pasta e fagioli with coconut, spring onion, chilli and lemon. www.theguardian.com/food/2026/ja... "these aren’t dishes to discuss, these are dishes to be tried." I'm every happy to try and discuss all of Rachel's recipes!

This week's (from 2018) @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social Orange and prosecco jelly I've not made many jellies but this worked out perfectly! Deliciously refreshing & had a bit of a fizz. Need to work on my 'turning out' skills as it only just made it on to the plate! www.theguardian.com/food/2018/de...

This week's (from 2018) @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social Panini al latte (milk buns) www.theguardian.com/food/2018/no... Superb! Easy to make & beautifully soft inside with a sweet crisp top. Split & filled with delicious Baron Bigod cheese. Also had some filled with cherry jam. I'll make these again.

This week's (from 2018) @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social recipe www.theguardian.com/food/2018/oc... Chickpea and salt cod soup Substituted the chickpeas with white beans and used hake as I could not find any salt cod. A really tasty and filling lunch - even though it's not Friday!

On 28th November I will be in conversation with @rebeccamayjohnson.bsky.social at Manningtree Arts

On a break from the Guardian Feast column until the new year, but wonderful @helenterrapin.bsky.social, the most loyal reader-cook, isn’t xx

This week's @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social Baked leek and egg gratin www.theguardian.com/food/2025/oc... An easy to make meal. I've never baked leeks before never mind as tree stumps! We had it with green salad topped with a vinegary pomegranate dressing. Delicious!

Eyes @lucyantal.bsky.social

Dinner tonight, pasta e fagioli. I used fresh chilli instead of chilli flakes as I’ve got a lot of fresh chilli to use. Lovely, warming autumnal dish. Grazie @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social !

Thankyou for reminding me @clarelaverty.bsky.social

Spaghetti with tinned sardines, chilli and lemon, another joyous recipe from the wonderful @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social, was fantastically delicious and is going to be enjoyed regularly here from now on. Grazie mille Rachel

Dinner tonight : "Orzo" (or if you prefer "Risoni") with peas and chicken. Inspired by two @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social recipes - although I didn't have the complete ingredients for either and I also cheated by buying a Conad grilled chicken. A lovely, comforting and surprisingly quick dinner.
