Show Notes
There's no need to feel sad and scurvyish this winter with this pasta that Simon has been regularly making that bursts with lemony flavour and sunshine. (Also, has someone seen the *real* Yumi? because this one seems uncommonly interested in sport and not just sport but men's sport and therefore must be bodysnatched, please send help.)
PASTA AL LIMONE RECIPE Measure out 200g linguine and set it in a large pan that has a lid that fits. Zest 2 lemons into the pan. Add in a bashed clove of garlic, 100ml olive oil and a teaspoon salt. Cover with 600ml water, cover with the lid and then bring the whole thing to the boil. As soon as it reaches boiling, remove the lid and allow it to simmer gently for 8 minutes, turning carefully with tongs every minute. Squeeze in the juice of one of the lemons, cook for 2 more minutes. Remove from the heat then stir through 50g butter and some finely grated parmesan cheese (optional). Allow it to sit and soak up the juices for 2 minutes. To serve, add basil leaves (optional), freshly cracked pepper and any more cheese if you want.

What to do when you're having people over - want to feed them delicious food but don't want to be tethered to the stove all night? This applies to Yumi's conundrum (what kind of menu suits a board meeting at her place?) but is a great template for Christmas too! Simon suggests this recipe from Ottolenghi, as well as prawns, maybe some crackers, and Yumi's famous carrot cake to wrap things up. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Yumi debriefs about meeting one of her cooking heroes (off-air Simon asked, "Was it a case of 'Never meet your heroes?' and Yumi said, "THE OPPOSITE!") and they share how to make Fatteh and a truly essential yoghurt tahini sauce which is delicious on MANY things but particularly on crisped-up leftover bread that is soaking up the juices of a perfect summer tomato.
Simon has just worked on and published an amazing book called 'Around the World in 80 Meatballs' by Bunny Banyai that gives an extraordinary insight into how the meatball exists in cultures all around the world.
On your favourite food podcast, Yumi and Simon talk about how to make a salad MORE intriguing.
Simon is getting ready to shoot his episodes of Adam Liaw's show The Cook-Up (broadcast date TBC) and Yumi is psyched about this recipe that you can get on the table in just 13 Minutes - that was shared in one of her group chats:
