'Gremolata' carrots and parsnips

A few years ago, chef Paul Ainsworth devised this dish as a simple side for his Italian-style restaurant, Caffè Rojano. The result was unexpectedly delicious; the parsnips, coated in breadcrumbs, turned delightfully crisp, resembling chips. They’re the ideal side with your Christmas meal and will no doubt become a staple for future celebrations

Cheesy garlic pull-apart loaf

The loaf is really easy to adapt with other flavours, use up any leftover cheeses for the filling or, for an Italian take, add in some pesto and chopped sundried tomatoes you might have lurking in your fridge. A dollop of harissa in the garlic butter would add a lovely kick if you fancy a bit of spice. Enjoy!
