Despite its many aliases, and its outrageously delicious flavour, so many keen cooks aren’t aware of its existence. http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/food/cooking-with-children/2008/08/16/recipe-loaded-potato-skins-64375-21513231/ Sat, 16 Aug 2008 15:40:00 GMT http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/food/cooking-with-children/2008/08/16/recipe-loaded-potato-skins-64375-21513231/ CHILDREN will love coming up with different favourite fillings, for this recipe which is tasty and nutritious. http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/food/recipes/2008/08/12/paul-smith-s-malmaison-scouse-64375-21517390/ Tue, 12 Aug 2008 12:02:00 GMT http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/food/recipes/2008/08/12/paul-smith-s-malmaison-scouse-64375-21517390/ Head Chef, Paul Smith's recipe for Malmaison Scouse. http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/food/chef/2008/08/12/paul-smith-a-passion-for-cooking-64375-21517380/ Tue, 12 Aug 2008 11:58:00 GMT http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/food/chef/2008/08/12/paul-smith-a-passion-for-cooking-64375-21517380/ THE new head chef at Liverpool’s Malmaison tells Nadina Osmani about his culinary ethos. http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/food/sommelier-column/2008/08/12/sommelier-the-first-and-only-important-rule-is-that-there-aren-t-really-any-rules-64375-21517209/ Tue, 12 Aug 2008 11:25:00 GMT http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/food/sommelier-column/2008/08/12/sommelier-the-first-and-only-important-rule-is-that-there-aren-t-really-any-rules-64375-21517209/ I’M STARTING to feel that this summer couldn’t get any worse. Gladiators is back on our screens, Big Brother seems to get longer every year, the "credit crunch" has left most of my clients with a face that could sink a thousand tall ships, and if I see the "c" word – the one that rhymes with vulture – pinned onto another irrelevant and cynical venture, I’m liable to explode in a tirade of long-lost expletives that could curdle cement and seriously upset my butler. http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/food/food-features/2008/08/12/our-rich-tradition-of-chinese-cooking-64375-21513792/ Mon, 11 Aug 2008 23:00:00 GMT http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/food/food-features/2008/08/12/our-rich-tradition-of-chinese-cooking-64375-21513792/ AS THE athletes limber up in Beijing, Emma Pinch looks at how Chinatown has given Liverpudlians’ tastebuds a work-out over the years http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/food/bar-reviews/2008/08/12/raven-albert-dock-liverpool-64375-21513797/ Mon, 11 Aug 2008 23:00:00 GMT http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/food/bar-reviews/2008/08/12/raven-albert-dock-liverpool-64375-21513797/ BETWEEN diamond necklaces and diamond waters sits a very different kind of gem.

Available from late July until late October, they are truly delicious but so many people don’t know what to do with them. http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/food/cooking-with-children/2008/07/26/recipe-lamb-banana-risotto-64375-21391879/ Sat, 26 Jul 2008 13:50:00 GMT http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/food/cooking-with-children/2008/07/26/recipe-lamb-banana-risotto-64375-21391879/ WITH so many Lamb-Bananas in the city, this dish should capture children’s imaginations and introduce them to plantains, a banana-like vegetable that is delicious sliced and fried in butter. http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/food/recipe-tips/2008/07/26/cauliflowers-are-absolutely-great-at-this-time-of-year-64375-21391735/ Sat, 26 Jul 2008 13:44:00 GMT http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/food/recipe-tips/2008/07/26/cauliflowers-are-absolutely-great-at-this-time-of-year-64375-21391735/ THE words "cauliflower" and "summer" don’t tend to feature too often in the same sentence, but believe it or not cauliflowers are absolutely great at this time of year. We’re lucky living on Merseyside because there’s an abundance of English summer cauliflower growers in Widnes – so they’re really not at all difficult to get hold of. http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/food/food-features/2008/07/15/a-different-nuptial-nosh-up-64375-21340325/ Tue, 15 Jul 2008 05:00:00 GMT http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/food/food-features/2008/07/15/a-different-nuptial-nosh-up-64375-21340325/ FOR those who don’t like fruit cakes, a replacement is growing in popularity for brides and grooms across the region – cheese. http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/food/recipe-tips/2008/07/12/recipes-cherries-are-many-things-to-many-people-64375-21321814/ Sat, 12 Jul 2008 17:00:00 GMT http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/food/recipe-tips/2008/07/12/recipes-cherries-are-many-things-to-many-people-64375-21321814/ YOU can always tell when someone has eaten a cherry, with a juice that stains the lips, fingers and virtually everything that they come into contact with it’s hard to miss. http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/food/cooking-with-children/2008/07/12/recipe-cherry-tomato-and-halloumi-skewers-64375-21321894/ Sat, 12 Jul 2008 16:30:00 GMT http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/food/cooking-with-children/2008/07/12/recipe-cherry-tomato-and-halloumi-skewers-64375-21321894/ CHILDREN will enjoy threading together these colourful barbecue ingredients on wooden skewers just as much as they will enjoy eating them. http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/food/bar-reviews/2008/07/08/geisha-myrtle-street-liverpool-64375-21306419/ Tue, 08 Jul 2008 15:48:00 GMT http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/food/bar-reviews/2008/07/08/geisha-myrtle-street-liverpool-64375-21306419/ LOCATED on Myrtle Street, in the heart of student land, Geisha – Korova’s trendy pan-Asian bar/restaurant, – offers a fresh experience in dining, drinking and clubbing, while its hip atmosphere and cutting-edge decor attracts a mix of students and young professionals. http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/food/sommelier-column/2008/07/08/sommelier-often-overlooked-germany-makes-in-my-opinion-the-best-white-wine-in-the-world-64375-21306290/ Tue, 08 Jul 2008 15:44:00 GMT http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/food/sommelier-column/2008/07/08/sommelier-often-overlooked-germany-makes-in-my-opinion-the-best-white-wine-in-the-world-64375-21306290/ DERREN BROWN - you’ve got to love the guy. Any geezer who looks like a cross between Penfold, Michael Keaton and my mate Dave, yet has the power to convince some fat bloke from Nuneaton he has the combined mental power of Stephen Hawking, all of the Eggheads and that wily old mathematrix Carol Vorderman, must be worth hanging around with for a few days. http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/food/recipes/2008/07/08/paolo-cillo-s-lasagnette-con-porcini-e-salsiccia-64375-21305924/ Tue, 08 Jul 2008 15:11:00 GMT http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/food/recipes/2008/07/08/paolo-cillo-s-lasagnette-con-porcini-e-salsiccia-64375-21305924/ Paolo Cillo, head chef at Il Forno with a delicious recipe for Lasagnette con porcini e salsiccia http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/food/chef/2008/07/08/paolo-cillo-i-love-to-see-customers-really-enjoying-the-food-64375-21305888/ Tue, 08 Jul 2008 15:08:00 GMT http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/food/chef/2008/07/08/paolo-cillo-i-love-to-see-customers-really-enjoying-the-food-64375-21305888/ THE new head chef at Il Forno is bringing a taste of southern Italy to the restaurant.

Wintery stews and summery salads can all be livened up with the addition of a few peas, and while there’s nothing wrong with the frozen variety, we strongly recommend stocking up on fresh summer peas, podding them and then freezing them yourself. http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/food/food-features/2008/07/03/you-can-t-lick-an-ice-cream-on-a-sunny-day-64375-21222712/ Thu, 03 Jul 2008 11:58:00 GMT http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/food/food-features/2008/07/03/you-can-t-lick-an-ice-cream-on-a-sunny-day-64375-21222712/ ICE cream is one of summer’s essentials – whether it’s that cornet melting deliciously in the heat of the sun, or a snowy dollop on top of a bowl of strawberries, it’s a short cut to banishing the blues. http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/food/bar-reviews/2008/07/03/raven-britannia-pavilion-albert-dock-64375-21222672/ Thu, 03 Jul 2008 11:54:00 GMT http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/food/bar-reviews/2008/07/03/raven-britannia-pavilion-albert-dock-64375-21222672/ ANOTHER season and another bar from Liverpool pioneers the Korova Group.
