Spanish Trifle
Posted by Paul Heathcote on August 29, 2007 2:50 PM
I AM a big fan of the British sherry trifle, and it is often featured on my menu at Simply Heathcotes; likewise last month, I divulged our Italian trifle that we use at the Olive Press.
Today’s recipe is quite different, although they share the same custard recipe. But I am sure you will enjoy the variation. If you can’t find Licor 43, use Grand Marnier or Cointreau to moisten the sponge. The cubed jelly gives a real wow factor to the dessert.

Gnocchi with sage and marmite butter
Posted by Paul Heathcote on August 21, 2007 4:27 PM
Unusual combination of pasta and Marmite
IN MY book, Heathcotes at Home, I created a recipe with Marmite butter. Kept chilled in the fridge, it is a wonderful accompaniment to a fried or grilled piece of steak.
I know many of my friends swear by the recipe for its ease and taste, but recently I have found another use for it.
If you don’t want to go to the trouble of making the gnocchi then most supermarkets stock it in the fresh pasta section, although you can’t beat this freshly-made Italian dumpling.

TO GET us in the mood for these delicious little potato dumplings, why not enjoy a glass of the delicious dry white Lascari Grillo 2006 made from the Sicilian native grape Grillo. Dry with appealing soft tropical fruit, this wine is delightfully quaffable and very affordable.
Priced £4.99 per bottle from The Purple Wine Company, tel:0151 239 5025 or email wine@purplewine.co.uk
