I’m not, as a rule, one for flavouring mashed potatoes, but this version is a worthy exception. Because the garlic cloves are boiled with the potatoes, they make their presence felt sweetly rather than shoutily, and the Parmesan provides a gentle tang.

grams/2½oz unsalted butter, softened

Parmesan,

grams/1¾oz breadcrumbs

unsalted butter,

35 grams/1¼oz Parmesan, finely grated

Jansson’s temptation is very much the taste of Christmas for Swedes, and I have enthusiastically incorporated it into my own festive eating schedule. And while I do, indeed, serve it with the Norwegian pork ribs, it is so addictively good that I am happy to make a main meal out of it, with a salad or two on the side.

onions, approx. 400 grams/14 ounces, thinly sliced

flakes,

black pepper

300 milliliters/½ pint full-fat milk

300 milliliters/½ pint double cream

Cesare Casella, a chef from Lucca, whose family used to run the fabulous Vipore restaurant and who is now cooking in New York, is the man who invented Tuscan fries. Think French fries, but with garlic cloves and fresh herbs thrown into the hot oil towards the end of the cooking time.

You can’t go to Florence without encountering Florentine steak – it’s a famous huge T bone cooked over a grill.  At home, I’ve got my own version of another Italian classic - a tagliata – which is a steak that you cook and then slice on the diagonal, so you can feed 2 people out of one steak. 

If you have steak, you have chips. If you have my tagliata – you’ve got to have my Tuscan fries.
