Rice/Noodles
Saffron Rice
Everybody who eats my saffron rice wants the recipe. It is one of the shining stars and the staple of my own repertoire of recipes. Cook this rice in a heavy oven dish such as a Le Creuset casserole for best results.
Soba and Seared Tuna Salad
Soba noodles are usually served cold and they benefit from this slightly spiced soy sauce dressing. When I went to Japan I was intrigued by the range of textures in that cuisine that I was unfamiliar with. Multicoloured seaweed with its superb crunchy texture contrasts with the slippery noodles, the crisp cucumber and the fresh tuna. You will find the Japanese ingredients in a specialty Japanese store or even in a good supermarket.
Sticky Black-Rice Pudding
This sweet black-rice pudding with its nutty flavour and cooling coconut milk is an ideal way to kick-start your day.
