Chargrilled Bruschetta with tomatoes, Blue cheese and confit chilli - Gill Meller

"This slightly unusual but hugely satisfying combination of flavours is worth trying out.

Frying Pan Squash And Cavolo Nero Pie - Anna Jones

The other was in a great pizza place a few minutes’ walk from my house, where I ate a pizza topped with smashed squash, crispy cavolo...

Lamb Barra Kebab - Karam Sethi

Lyle's Sourdough Recipe - James Lowe

As part of our collaboration with Lyles James Lowe has created a recipe for a sourdough bread that you can make at home in our C1 casserole.

“Bread is one of the most satisfying things you can make. I can think of few other things so special, created from so few and such simple ingredients. One of the things that makes...

“The four-pan set will tackle the most arduous jobs with form and function in perfect harmony.”

“It’s inconceivable that many acts of domestic cookery are beyond Crane’s tough (and exceedingly heavy-duty) range of cookware.”

“As sturdy as Le Creuset – and burn proof, to boot. A minimalist cook’s dream.”
