Chinese style chicken

Only "chinese style", not a true chinese recipe.

Duo of slow-cooked pork

Two pork ingredients, smoked sausage and a shoulder joint here, are left to cook slowly on a bed of vegetables and herbs, moistened with a vegetable or poultry stock. This is one of those crafty dishes that can be reheated over and over, getting better each time.

Melt-in-the mouth meat and vegetables in a sealed casserole

In this recipe a good joint of beef is slow-cooked, surrounded by an assortment of vegetables in small chunks. To concentrate the flavours, the cooking time should be long at a moderate temperature and, most important of all, the dish should be sealed. By the end of cooking, the vegetables will be meltingly soft and the meat can be pulled apart with a fork. This is an appealing dish to serve and share, leaving everyone to help themselves as they like.

Roast in the bag pork with fondant vegetables.

Roasting "in the bag" is a simple but long method. The meat is sealed in a bag and cooked slowly at moderate temperature, keeping it very tender and with an amazing flavour. Meat cooked like this produces delicious juicies without adding anything else. These can be used to cook vegetables to a melting texture as a perfect accompaniment for the meat. This recipe might look complicated, but it is really very simple, just a bit long, and the flavour and texture are out of this world.

Fried rice with turnips and gourmands peas

For this recipe, we'll cook gourmands peas and turnips separately, then add them to rice sautéed with eggs.

Hotpot my grandmother's way

If you like slow-cooked dishes prepared with loving care (mitonné), you will certainly love this hotpot recipe, with the taste of Franche-Comté, inspired by my grandmother. It's an old-fashioned dish full of flavours and aromas, cooked vegetables, stock, smoked sausages, all cooked long and slow.

A macédoine is simply vegetables diced small (carrots and turnips) or cut small (green beans) with peas. The different vegetables are cooked separately "à l'anglaise", then thoroughly drained. They are only combined at the end in a mayonnaise dressing.

Turnip leaf pesto

If the turnips you're going to use in a recipe still have their tops, don't throw them away and try making this atypical and very fresh pesto with tops, cashew and parmesan.

Chorba

Chorba is a spicy meat and vegetable soup, typical of the Maghreb. This is my own personal version.

Minestrone

Minestrone is a traditional Italian soup. It is made with a mix of vegetables and a poultry stock. It is quite simple to make, but preparing all the vegetables takes time. There are doubtless as many minestrone recipes as there are Italian cooks, but here is my version.

Sautéed Pork with Peanuts

This sautéed pork has a hint of Thai style, with its accompaniment of chopped vegetables, dry-roasted peanuts and soy sauce.
