As a result I created something rather good, a Nigelslater style fridge rummaging session yielded a spicy salad with crunchy leaves, sweet mango and a cooling mint yoghurt dressing that just balanced the heat nicely
Mustard (à la NigelSlater). Mascarpone (à la Nigella). Greens go really well with mash, and bubble and squeak is one of my favourite ways to use up leftovers, topped with a poached, runny-yolked egg
Mine was something of a hybrid – I used NigelSlater’s recipe as an aide memoir and adapted it in the way I remember my mum making the dish, without any celery or brandy It was utterly delicious and the perfect autumnal supper – served here with dauphinoise potatoes to mop up all the sauce

In terms of posts for this coming year, I've been inspired by NigelSlater's Kitchen Diaries, both volumes of which I found lounging around at home over Christmas
