Club Monaco Does Chelsea

Collaborations • London • Outfits • Shop

At this time of year  my neighbourhood is covered in flowers to celebrate the return of Chelsea Flower Show. This year Club Monaco asked me to come and see the fairytale creation decorating their Chelsea store.

Pure luxe, this store should be entered at your peril, for you will not be able to leave without a purchase. The quality of materials and cuts is truly next to none for it’s price point. A neutral palette rules with classic notes but a modern feel.

Mulberry Rose

Collaborations • London • Outfits
The ultimate in english luxury leather, Mulberry is king of modernised classics. When they asked me wear their new Petal Rose bags I couldn't wait. The colour is so perfect for spring and summer, the ultimate companion to white jeans and nudes. I couldn't choose which bag I liked more so I had to have both!

Parmesan Truffle Roast Potatoes

Savoury • Sides • Vegetarian

Something for the weekend.  These potatoes are a fail safe way to win favours and influence people. If in doubt cook them. They are crispy, coated in Parmesan with a nutty warmth from the Truffle and yet light and fluffy within. The perfect Parmesan Roast Potato.

1

Prep

  1. Preheat your oven to 220°C.
  2. In a roasting pan add the Cooking Oil and Truffle Oil and place in the oven to heat.
  3. Peel and cut the Potatoes into even sizes (I normally do quarters or eights depending on the size).
  4. Place them in a pan of seasoned cold water and bring to boil, simmer and cook until firm but soft on the edges.
  5. Drain and allow to dry a little in the pan with the lid off.
  6. Sprinkle over the Plain Flour and replace the pan lid, carefully shake the pan to cover the potatoes evenly in flour.
  7. Take the hot roasting pan from the oven and carefully add the Potatoes so that they are not on top of each other.
  8. Roast for 15mins. Then remove turn and roast for a further 15mins.

Add Cheese

  1. Removing the roasting pan from the oven, take your Parmesan Cheese and sprinkle it over the top of the potatoes, aiming to pile it on each one rather than cover the whole pan.
  2. Return to the oven for a further 15mins.
3

Oil Removal

At this stage there can be too much oil in the pan, as some will be released when the cheese melts. If this is the case simply spoon some off.

4

And More Cheese

  1. Turn the Potatoes and add more cheese to the top.
  2. Return to the oven for a further 15mins.
  3. After this turn them again and cook for the final 15mins.
EAT

Serve them straight from the oven.

They work wonderfully with a traditional roast, but I tend to use them more in the summer with light dishes like this menu. Along side BBQ or Fish they are delightful. I will happily eat them alone before they even get to the table.
