Spiced duck legs and Greek potato hash: Honey & Co’s recipes for Valentine’s Day

news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 12 February

Sweet-savoury duck legs with pear and swede, and a side of spuds doused in egg yolk, salty feta and tomatoes

Our approach to Valentine’s Day and romance in general varies considerably, according to our mood and the demands of our jobs. When it comes to a romantic meal, we can plan ahead, make an effort and present something a bit special or, more often than not, it’s a mad dash to the kitchen and a ready, steady, cook approach. Duck legs will probably require a trip to the butchers, but the potato hash can be made with things you probably have at home already (or can easily find at the corner shop). Whatever your approach, the result must be delicious enough to say those three precious words: I love you.

Rukmini Iyer’s quick and easy recipe for crispy one-tin gnocchi with leeks and harissa | Quick and easy

news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 10 February

Delicious, chewy, cheesy, crisp on top … slam it in the oven and it’s ready in half an hour

Baked gnocchi is my go-to for a hassle-free dinner, and this version with leeks and a fiery kick from the harissa is a simple, store-cupboard win. You could just as easily use your favourite goat’s cheese or feta instead of mozzarella, if that’s what you have in the fridge. Either way, this is dinner in about half an hour.

One tin and half an hour is all you need for this clever week-night curry

This one-tin curry – what you’d call a “dry” curry in Indian homes, to differentiate from one with an integral sauce – is such a hit in my kitchen that leftovers frequently appear as a hot breakfast, along with an egg and flatbreads.

Florida man eats diet of butter, cheese, beef; cholesterol oozes from his body

news.movim.eu / ArsTechnica • 22 January

What could go wrong with eating an extremely high-fat diet of beef, cheese, and sticks of butter? Well, for one thing, your cholesterol levels could reach such stratospheric levels that lipids start oozing from your blood vessels, forming yellowish nodules on your skin.

That was the disturbing case of a man in Florida who showed up at a Tampa hospital with a three-week history of painless, yellow eruptions on the palms of his hands, soles of his feet, and elbows. His case was published today in JAMA Cardiology .

Painless yellowish nodules were observed on the patient’s palms (A) and elbows. B, Magnified view of the palmar lesions. These lesions are consistent with xanthelasma, likely resulting from severe hypercholesterolemia associated with a high-fat carnivore diet. Credit: JAMA Cardiologym 2024, Marmagkiolis et al.

The man, said to be in his 40s, told doctors that he had adopted a "carnivore diet" eight months prior. His diet included between 6 lbs and 9 lbs of cheese, sticks of butter, and daily hamburgers that had additional fat incorporated into them. Since taking on this brow-raising food plan, he claimed his weight dropped, his energy levels increased, and his "mental clarity" improved.

Nigel Slater’s recipe for tomato, ricotta and basil toasts

news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 29 October, 2024

Cheesy, herby pieces of toast piled high with flavour

Make the basil oil: pour 6 tbsp of olive oil into a blender jug and add 2 tbsp of warm water. Pull 15 medium-sized basil leaves (about 5g) from their stalks and add them to the oil with a good pinch of sea salt and a grinding or two of black pepper. Process all the ingredients to a deep green dressing.

Get an overhead grill hot. Remove the stalks from 3 or 4 large tomatoes and a handful of smaller ones. Cut the larger ones in half. Leave the small tomatoes whole. Put them all on a grill pan or baking sheet, trickle lightly with some more olive oil, and place them under the grill. Leave until their skins have started to brown here and there and the tomatoes are soft and juicy.
