Star Chef Crush<br />
Rosie<br />
Sykes<br />
We speak to the new chef at<br />
Pint Shop, Rosie Sykes, about<br />
developing the menu and<br />
what’s in store for spring.<br />
“Developing the menu with the team is a<br />
very organic process. We understand each<br />
other well, so it is just a case of talking<br />
about ideas that fit in with what Pint Shop<br />
is about. I find it very interesting and<br />
rewarding to have other views and to be<br />
doing dishes I wouldn’t necessarily have<br />
had in my sights in the past. For example,<br />
our lamb kebab made from slow cooked<br />
spit roast lamb that has been marinaded<br />
in harissa and lemon juice. It’s a huge hit<br />
and rightly so, as it’s a good version of a<br />
ubiquitous after pub staple!<br />
We’ve just launched our winter/early<br />
spring menu, there are still some winter<br />
warmers, but we are starting to think<br />
about lighter, brighter times. I have<br />
developed a little salad of winter leaves<br />
with roast salsify (the vegetable oyster,<br />
as it was known in Victorian times),<br />
croutons, mustard and half a soft boiled<br />
duck egg.”<br />

Released at the end of last month, the ever popular Deliciously Ella brings us her second<br />
cookbook, ‘Every Day’, packed with 100 healthy plant-based, diary-free and glutenfree<br />
recipes. Ideal for those with busy lives who need inspiration for quick, but healthy<br />
weekday dinners, the recipes are easy to follow and delicious. Also releasing their second<br />
book later in the month, the Hemsley sisters launch ‘Good + Simple’ that has recipes<br />
to build good gut health with affordable ingredients. ‘Eat Fat, Get Thin’ by Mark Hyman<br />
has a thought-provoking title and discusses how eating fat may not have all the negative<br />
connotations we associate with it. With a diet based on the latest science, this cookbook<br />
explains how to eat ‘fat’ while getting fit and healthy.<br />
