Bloody Mary in hand, James begins by making kedgeree. This lightly curried dish of flaked, smoked fish in rice was a favourite of the British Raj. James tops it with a poached egg, cooked with the help of an ingenious gadget. A potato and black pudding hash follows next and it's not completely smooth sailing. After chopping the potatoes with another new gadget, James gives them a quick blanche before frying them with onion and chili. The introduction of the black pudding yields a less than ideal result, both visually and in terms of flavour, but Nikki's kind words bring James out of his funk. It's time for Shakshuka, the Middle Eastern classic that's become a favourite in the West. Onions, garlic, and tomatoes are all fried before little wells are made in the mixture and the eggs added to gently poach. It's a resounding success that James follows up with a very modern take on eggs and soldiers. The egg remains the same: soft boiled and oozing, while the toast batons are replaced with avocado fingers wrapped in prosciutto. Take that Hackney. Written by The James May: Oh Cook! Team See less
