The Delicious Miss Dahl - Nostalgia

Sophie Dahl shares the recipes that remind her of home and the tastes and sensations of her youth. For Sophie, this means a supper of roasted tomato and thyme soup with double-baked cheese and chive potatoes, or a perfectly British tea of orange and raspberry Victoria sponge with orange buttercream and golden flapjacks with mango, sour cherries and coconut. To ground her firmly back in Britain, she takes a nostalgic train journey through the countryside and finds herself on a windy British beach recalling chilly childhood holidays. Her nostalgic trip is topped off with crab, salmon and dill fishcakes with homemade tartare sauce, roasted red potatoes and wilted spinach.
