A meal for four

First off we have this delicate Indian Mulligatawny soup.

The alterations: Four times as much chilli as the recipe suggests (and even then it hardly “has a kick”). Twice as much tumeric to make sure of the yellow colour. I blitzed the soup. At the end I added coriander.

Main course was cod, new potatoes, and simple soured cream and chives. The cod would have been much better battered.

The apple pudding was tricky. The apples need to be chopped very fine (as the recipe says). But the cooking times were completely wrong. I needed to cook it for 45 minutes at 160-180°C, but it still wasn’t fully cooked through, so I covered it with foil and gave it another 10 minutes. It is served with cinnamon-flavoured pouring custard. The resulting pudding is truly delicious.
