Emma Freud meets Jason Isaacs
Jason Isaacs is one of the UK’s busiest movie stars. His films include Green Zone, Peter Pan, and the Harry Potter series. He’s less well known for his cooking – but as our columnist found out, there’s an Italian chef inside him that longs to be acknowledged… by his children.
E: Tell me about this bolognese (on page 120).
It’s brilliantly eccentric – how did it evolve?
It started when I was a student living in a shared house in Bristol and the only one who cooked. I could entirely indulge my twin desires: first, that every bite must be a sensory overload of riches – sweet, savoury and spicy – and, secondly, that everyone must be left undoing buttons and groaning with equal parts regret and delight. This recipe wins on both those accounts.
