Until recently, I never saw the point of eloping. It seemed underwhelming to get married without your loved ones there to celebrate.
To me, elopements were what you went to Gretna Green for. And that’s miles away – you probably have to take at least two trains. But that was before I did it myself.
I got engaged during the pandemic. We planned our wedding in the glow of optimism that existed in the brief period in between lockdowns last September. ‘It’ll probably all be over by Christmas,’ we told each other, gambling that our hope would win over scientific evidence. The ceremony was organised for 10 December with ten guests, aware that social distancing measures might be in place.

Fish curry with fried parathas recipe
Save

I love a fish curry. Use firm-fleshed fish like gurnard, monkfish or mackerel, which are delicious cut into chunks or left on the bone, if you like to eat fish this way. I serve this with fried parathas. I first had them when working with my friend Mark Hix, who was serving them as a starter at one of the Pig Hotelâs Smoked and Uncut festivals. Parathas are usually cooked in a pan but frying them is something truly wonderful.
