Two in the morning there's a drink in my hand

Probably the most entertaining kedgeree recipe you will ever read

I will be trying it out just as soon as I have a spare morning. It sounds way better than my recipe.

If I'm honest, I am a bit 'Rick Stein' about my kedgeree, but I'd be prepared to give his version a go.

I just need to wait for wife and baby to absent themselves for a night and morning so I can get away with barefoot, martini-fuelled kedgering.

I certainly don't make the best kedgeree in the world, so would also be willing to give your slightly-Rick-Stein kedgeree a go if you're happy/have time to share the recipe.

A while ago I had kedgeree for breakfast in a posh hotel and it was rather saucy[*] which was fabulous and not at all what I'm used to. Attempts to recreate that at home were largely disastrous.

Unless you're actually very Rick Stein about it, in which case I should check whether the cookbook or two of his I have have the recipe in. I've a feeling I do have a recipe of his, but it involves Arbroath smokies which put me off a bit.

Ooh, no, I'm not literally Rick Stein about it. I was taking that simply to mean a bit precious and foodie.

I'm afraid I don't have a recipe to hand, though I might try and figure one out; though that would be prone to memory errors. Ideally I will just make detailed notes next time I cook it, though that still relies on me being able to send mother and baby away¹. I'll tell them it's your idea she move out.


[1] - Not because mine necessarily involves morning martinis, but more because the Very Nice Wife^tm disagrees with the smell of kedgeree in the morning. Oddly enough, she doesn't think it smells like victory!

though I might try and figure one out

The mother did this for years with bread. She basically had two styles of making bread:

1) Throw everything in paying very little attention. Result: great bread.
2) Make careful notes and weigh things and write down the method. Result: mildly rubbish bread.

Accordingly, I still don't have her bread recipe :)

Please do not tell the Very Nice Wife^tm that I said she should move out. I feel this would be damaging to the Very Nice Family^tm.
