Gelato al rum / Rum and sultana ice cream
Not known for his patience, watchdog Fidget was particularly edgy on this occasion. In the cartoon kitchen they had worked devotedly on making the smoothest, most velvety, sumptuous, indulgent ice cream. A shame that Fidget won’t now allow the machine time to do its churning… Continue reading
Bucatini alla carbonara
The name’s origin is debateable, but folklore associates it with charcoal workers (carbonari). To recreate the mood, Trota tasked Salmon and Fidget with some flue maintenance. Quite an ask, so you might think the duo’s reward would be forthcoming. But no – Trota, mistress of delayed gratification, insists that only after a thorough shower are our heroes re-admitted to the cartoon kitchen to finally tuck in. Continue reading

The BBC Good Food Show
Fidget’s representatives visited the BBC Good Food Show at Olympia this weekend. They met three gods from Fidget’s culinary pantheon and even brought back signed copies of Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry’s The Great British Bake Off Everyday and The French Kitchen by Michel Roux Jr. Fidget is beside himself with excitement – he hardly slept all night!
