Using Sharp Cheddar Cheese: Sharp cheddar cheese imparts a stronger flavor than mild cheddar, making the biscuits more flavorful.

Bhogal brings Comfort and Joy to Bloomsbury with new cookbook

Shred the Cheese Yourself: Store-bought shredded cheese has anti-caking agents that can alter the taste and consistency of the cheese. It's well-proven that a diet centering fruits, vegetables, beans, grains, and nuts is healthier for us and our planet, but talks of decreasing global meat and dairy intake have for too long been tied to narratives of culinary sacrifice. Ravinder Bhogal, award-winning chef and self-described “half-woman, half-hummus,” knows better. In Comfort and Joy, she radically reclaims vegan and vegetarian cooking in all its abundance, with decadent, craveable recipes that bring together crisp okra fries with curry leaf mayonnaise, earthy roasted beet salad with blood orange and creamy burrata, whipped feta with tomatoes confit, and so much more. Shortlisted for Fortnum & Mason Cookery Writer of the Year - Ravinder Bhogal for work in FT Weekend MagazineIn addition, 2 weeks of meals-a 14-day schedule of meals, including step-by-step recipes and shopping lists for each, with tips on what you can prepare ahead of time to get dinner or meal on the table faster. Chilling the Dough: If the dough becomes too soft, chill it for about 30 minutes before shaping and baking.
