During our discussion, Melissa riffed about a late-night dinner of sardines on baguette, the bread toasted and rubbed with a clove of garlic and plenty of tomato before she lays the fish out across it to eat with a glass of wine. The audience swooned and I got hungry and that’s our no-recipe recipe of the week. And won’t you read this delicious excerpt from Melissa’s book and consider the dinner possibilities that arise from it? A spatchcocked chicken with herbes de Provence (above) could be your jam, with scalloped potato gratin. Also, Sarah Copeland’s recipe for Indian butter tofu to serve with rice, cucumber raita and my current favorite supermarket chutney.
