How kitchen porter Zakaria Ouattara really eats

Sep 26, 2024 | deliciousmagazine.co.uk | Thea Everett

Kitchen porters (KPs) are the unsung heroes of restaurant kitchens – keeping the space clean, safe and organised for the team – and in this week’s Fridge Raid, KP Zakaria Ouattara shares a taste of his life. Zakaria moved to London in 2016 from the Ivory Coast, where he had worked as a trackman in charge of railway maintenance, and became a vegetable seller before pursuing a career in restaurants.
Where to eat in Chester

Aug 19, 2024 | deliciousmagazine.co.uk | Thea Everett

Small but mighty: Chester is home to just under 100,000 people, but punches above its weight when it comes to its food, as we discovered. Chester’s 13th century buildings at the centre of town – known as The Rows – offered the benefits of multi-storey shopping long before Westfields were a thing – it’s thought the stone basements were built to protect against fires.
TV dinners and cinema snacks with pasta salad expert Tom Jackson

Aug 7, 2024 | deliciousmagazine.co.uk | Thea Everett

Pick ‘n’ mixWhat was the last takeaway you ordered? Sichuan Fry, part of the Dumpling Shack group. The mala chicken sandwiches and seaweed fries would win gold at the takeaway Olympics. They’ve now added Dumpling Shack’s dumplings and noodles to the existing menu, so I don’t need another restaurant to order from. I’d eat anything that owners John and Yee develop. You can only have three condiments for the rest of your life – which are you choosing?
Where to eat in Manchester

Aug 1, 2024 | deliciousmagazine.co.uk | Thea Everett

Manchester’s redevelopment has seen blocks of flats and offices shoot up at lightning speed, changing the city’s skyline and vibe forever, and not without controversy. But, as part of mayor Andy Burnham’s integrated and subsidised Bee Network, the city can now be explored on a free city bus.
How to cook a fry-up in the air fryer

Jul 16, 2024 | deliciousmagazine.co.uk | Thea Everett

The virtues of the air fryer full EnglishThere are few breakfasts mightier than the fry-up, and the air fryer can turn your breakfast cooking process from stressful to easy with just a few tips. Forget having 3 frying pans and the oven on slowly drying out your different items. Forget the fug of a greasy spoon permeating the house for the day – the air fryer keeps smells at bay and means far less oil is needed to get the desired fried result.
Behind the scenes: artisan pasta at the Rustichella d'Abruzzo pasta factory

Jul 11, 2024 | deliciousmagazine.co.uk | Thea Everett

The road to artisanal pastaI first discovered Rustichella d’Abruzzo’s pasta in an Italian supermarket in Melbourne, Australia, where its brown paper packaging and impressive range of shapes drew my attention. Ten years later, and I daren’t think how many kilos down, I’m still convinced it’s the best artisan pasta out there. So I was over the moon when I got to visit the pasta factory (or pastifico in Italian) in Abruzzo, on the Adriatic coastline.

What’s your top home-cooked comfort food? Mac and cheese. What’s your favourite high street chain – and your regular purchase? I don’t mind the hot sausages from Tesco. What would you do if you were asked to bring a birthday cake to a party? Make a Guinness cake.
What a secondary school teacher really eats

Jul 2, 2024 | deliciousmagazine.co.uk | Thea Everett

Pick ‘n’ mixWhat would you typically find in your fridge? Lots of pickles and salty foods such as kimchi, gherkins, capers, olives and preserved lemons. I have a salty tooth more than a sweet tooth. When I have time, I like making my own pickles. There’s also a lot of sauces – sriracha, mustard, gochujang and even a few from Nando’s – I don’t discriminate. What’s your go-to speedy dinner? Some variation on a chickpea stew.
