Nigel's top ten

So, I have now cooked the Nigel Slater top ten recipes it seems that there is an equal number of winners and losers – 5 recipes i would make again and 5 i wouldn’t. my favourite was the salad of red mullet with lime and ginger as it was the most unusual recipe i tried and truly delicious. did you try any? i’d love to know what you thought.

My winners:

• roast tomatoes with crumbs and thyme
• grilled chicken with basil butter
• orecchiette with cheese and artichokes
• a salad of red mullet with lime and ginger
• roast lamb with couscous and red onions

My losers:

• crab cakes and crushed peas
• baked onions with parmesan and cream
• peppers with pork and rosemary
• potato pancakes with dill and yoghurt sauce
• chocolate chip hazelnut cake with chocolate butter cream

I've enjoyed doing this and, having been sent a list of Sam & Sam Clark's top ten recipes from their Moro cook books (it's ten years since they published their first book) i'm thinking of working my way through a new, Spanish-inspired, list.
