My Pan Bagnat is so Nice

August 16, 2025 by Christian Gott Leave a Comment

History has it a version of Pan Bagnat was made in as early as the sixteenth century for hungry fishermen by their wives. They scooped out the centre of day-old bread packed it full of whatever was at hand and wrapped them in cloth. As a peasant dish the recipe was not likely to have contained tuna which would have been a much later addition. The whole thing is made in advance to allow all the flavours to soak into the bread.

What to do with your Christmas Leftovers? I guess the first question is what did you cook for your Christmas Lunch? Turkey? Ham? Popping up on lots of foodie social media are lots of turkey curries right now and plenty of festive pasta bakes but what can we do with our Christmas leftovers that doesn’t involve curry or pasta.

My Easy Rye Bread Loaf

Easy Rye Bread

Smörgåsbord means buttered open sandwich and many of my favourite types are made with rye bread, a dark, intensely flavoured bread, high in fibre, which is popular across Northern Europe.

British Sandwich Week – The Best Ever Sandwich Recipe

May 24, 2018 by Christian Gott 1 Comment

It is British Sandwich Week and while my tastes have not changed that much, my favourite is still an unctuous melting ham and cheese sandwich and I have found the most incredible way to prepare one.
