Mushroom risotto with as we continue the Wedmin. Chestnut mushrooms, finely diced white mushrooms and porcini powder, to supplement my (self-described) credentials as a fun guy. #CookWithIsh 1/4 (steps in reverse order, below)
I have randomly been shouting “Back to me Clive!” for years while cooking as I pretending I’m hosting a TV show.
Jacob Gifford Head@giffordhead.co.uk · 3d agoKeith Floyd is turning in his grave due to the amount of wine appearing only to be sufficient to cook the risotto...
Atonement for yesterday’s terrible focaccia with a mushroom risotto.
You know that feeling when you haven't made Focaccia in ages and you forget that your standard non-overnight prove recipe is 1kg of flour not 500g, so you make a 500g flour ball instead and then it's flatter than you want it so you are sad? That.
No professional accomplishment has ever made me happier than this. theonion.com/translator-o...

New, Peak Centrist Dad badge collected. “Nipping to Sainsburys before work because you’ve heard they’ve got some anchovies in olive oil. Everywhere else is sold out”. Red shorts and listening to 24K Magic (Bruno Mars) for extra credit.
Over on the other place, @dohertylawteach.bsky.social called me 'Barnet's answer to Michael Parkinson' and that easily wins as the nicest thing anyone has said to me in July. A fab podcast episode with him, @veronanid.bsky.social, @parkendlydia.bsky.social and @arwenjoyce.bsky.social
Thought for the day: There should be a word for ‘the action of trying to remove your glasses, when you aren’t wearing glasses’
I can almost hear Kulvinder Ghir asking “What is the blandest thing on the menu?” I love aglio e olio for its spiky flavours but was tempted by the refined Michelin version doing the rounds online. Won’t be making it again. All the punch has gone. Will stick to the original. #CookWithIsh #NotThis
The artist formally known as Actually3 is now 10. He hasn’t liked fish for a few years now. But today he decided he wanted to try salmon again. Now, because I’m a bit extra (a candidate for understatement of the week), I decided to make three dishes for dinner #CookWithIsh 1/4
Close call on what I refer to most on social media. The post below, or this: bsky.app/profile/nige...
Sean Jones KC@seanjones.org · 2w agoGenuinely some of the most fun I’ve had. The great @adamcreme.bsky.social, the fabulous @ishankolhatkar.com and I hand deliver the @billablehour.bsky.social cookbooks in aid of @savechildrenuk.bsky.social. Amazingly, @nigella.bsky.social (who is kindness in human form) bought one.
Robotics newsletters sign-up requires me to say I'm not a robot. Uh....
Do I have a sore throat from meetings since 6.30am, or am I just…
Quesabirria. Cooked from scratch. Well worth the effort. #CookWithIsh 1/2
Caused a row in Waitrose. Bought the last kilo of ox cheek. Another couple were also making beef biria tacos and he told her “We’ll come back and get the beef at the end”. She is not happy.
I have a second piece in @ftweekend.com in which, as I approach my 60th, I celebrate all the things I will not apologise for hating. It was very therapeutic to write. www.ft.com/content/6bdd...
Well, looks like England scored more in Miami this summer, than the Dolphins will this season.
That’s fine. Argentina have crumbled every time they’ve gone behind in this World Cup. Wait.
I respect France's commitment to not working on a holiday.
Forgot how much I dislike travelling in the non-quiet carriage "HELLO! I'M ON A TRAIN! HELLO! CAN YOU HEAR ME. I AM ON A TRAIN!" Repeat until arrival
A random Monday night in Manchester. Albeit my fourth trip here in the last two months. If you’re going to do corkage at @hawksmooruk.bsky.social bring something special. A 2017 Domaine A Pinot. Drinking very well.
Two essentials for making a rich, unctuous daube of beef.
