Show Notes
Yumi and Simon have been watching the World Cup football and it's been both fun and heartbreaking. If you're feeling bitter about Australia (or Japan, or Korea, Ghana, Canada etc etc), maybe you can enjoy the bitter feeling with the perfect winter salad.
Crunchy Bitter Winter Radicchio Salad Toast a half cup walnuts in a dry frypan. Set aside. Tear apart a head of radicchio lettuce. Finely slice a small fennel bulb. Peel two whole oranges and slice into neat discs. Retain any lost juice then add to it: 2tbs olive oil, 1tbs red wine vinegar, 1tsp mustard and 1/2tsp honey. Adjust to taste. Toss the dressing through the radicchio leaves and fennel. Gently pass through the orange slices, a handful of chopped green olives. Top with toasted walnuts and finish with some shaved parmesan or a crumble of fennel.

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.
