Cottage cheese + greens pasta - in tomorrows (free) newsletter with @theglossmag
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but this month’s newsletter is about… cottage cheese.

Everyone seems to have a tub in their fridge, with very limited ideas of what to actually do with it. So I’ve decided to help and save you from anymore sad cottage cheese on toast at your desk.

+ a day at work making toast more toasted
Cheats Malt and cherry ice cream/ affogato.
An ice-cream machine takes up too much space and is too expensive, so I cheat and scoop a whole tub of plain ice cream into my stand mixer with beater attachment plus whatever flavours I fancy. Here: Horlicks warmed in milk and poured in with cherries for a kind of malt / raspberry-ripple-ish one. Beat for a minute until its McFlurry texture, scoop back into the tub and freeze again. (Or eat immediately from the mixing bowl.)
Very good for easy hosting 

Best served as an affogato with extra syrupy cherries. @sageappliancesuk 

Recipe + more flavour ideas in next weeks newsletter with @theglossmag
Summer in winter. I’ve still got loads of oranges because it’s citrus season, so I made this for Sunday lunch. Baked cod, then prawns fried in the best extra virgin olive oil you can get, with garlic and chilli. Turn off the heat, then add segments from one orange + juice and zest, a splash of vinegar and some capers.

Poured over the cod and served with cous cous (you might think, no thanks, but it soaks up all the juices perfectly, so trust me), plus whatever veg or herbs you want. The easiest thing to serve 4–6 people, 10-15 mins to make and the flavours I crave in January. 
Would be also be great with crispy potatoes and poured over a whole roast fish.
Chicken juices mixed with orange, lime, garlic, ginger and fish sauce. Stuffed in to lettuce leaves, topped with herbs and chilli then dipped back in the chicken sauce. Even better spooned over rice. The most perfect mouthful.  Recipe in today’s @theglossmag newsletter (which is FREE) with all the ways to use any leftovers. (Link in bio as usual)
