A rich, comforting plateful of sweet, crunchy hispi topped with a cheesy cream – like a bowl of pasta, only without the carbsThis is a fun recipe that takes advantage of the hispi cabbage’s sweet nature and pliant structure. You can give it a really hard blast of heat, and it will crisp, caramelise and smoke, but still retain a lot of its easy freshness and bright crunch; it will also take on a pleasing, slightly slippery texture, like buttered noodles. This plate has the satisfaction of a hearty bowl of pasta without being nearly so enervating, and it works fantastically as a side dish, too, either as a companion to toasted whole grains or some grilled mushrooms.Jackson Boxer is chef/owner of Brunswick House, Vesper and Dove, all in London, and culinary director of Cowley Manor near Cheltenham and the Henrietta in London Continue reading...

This soft-but-dense, velvety delight is cake at its most pudding-like. It’s at its prime still warm from the oven, but gets gloriously fudgy after a night in the fridgeThe note by Elizabeth David is helpful here: “This cake can also be eaten like a pudding” for its soft-dense-velvet-texture. But I am jumping ahead: this week’s column started in Ferrara, a city in the wetlands of the Po delta in the north-eastern corner of Emilia-Romagna. Half medieval lanes and half green avenues and parks, Ferrara is home to one of Europe’s most imposing red-brick castles, one that provides a home to an annual journalism festival run by the magazine Internazionale. Ferrara is also known for a cake. In fact, it was after a discussion about translation and fact-checking with the Italian writer Domenico Starnone and the translator Ann Goldstein that I first ate a wedge of chocolate, butter, egg, sugar and flour torta tenerina.Having just mentioned fact-checking, I am now going to side-step the origin stories. The name, however, more or less translates as “little tender one”, although that “little” refers more to the fact that it is a bit tender, rather than being on the small side. Especially because tenerina recipes from Ferrara call for tins ranging from 24-26cm in size, which produce slender cakes that are gently cracked on top and tacolenta (sticky) within; in fact, another name for the cake is torta tacolenta.
