a killer mac 'n' cheese

servings 8-10

'Mac 'n' cheese' is a classic American pasta dish - everyone loves it. Sometimes it's done so badly in the convenience area, it's almost become famous for being horrible, but when you do it properly, trust me, it's an absolute killer. Feel free to use any... read recipe

antipasti of mozzarella, chilli, and lemon crostini

WINE MATCH: Il Barone Pinot Grigio IGT from Naked Wines
servings 4

Heat a griddle pan until it's really smoking hot, then griddle each slice of ciabatta for a couple of minutes on each side until they are nicely charred. Cut the garlic clove in half, rub each ciabatta slice with garlic and drizzle with a little olive... read recipe

cheese and onion salad with creamy herb dressing

servings 4

In this recipe, you basically pickle the onions very quickly. Usually pickling is a lengthy process, but if you get the onions really finely sliced, the salt and vinegar get to penetrate them straight away. The main rule when you're making a salad with any... read recipe

crostini - buffalo mozzarella and chili

Tear 3 x 150g balls of buffalo mozzarella into quarters, then top each of your hot crostini with one of the quarters. Deseed and finely chop a fresh red chili and sprinkle this over the mozzarella. Add a little seasoning and finish with a drizzle of extra... read recipe

crunchy raw beetroot salad with feta and pear

Serves 4

When most people think about beetroot in salads, they think of big vinegary crinkle-cut chunks from a jar and immediately say no! But remember, beetroots are only vinegary when they're pickled. When simply boiled or roasted they are juicy and sweet as you... read recipe

english onion soup with sage and cheddar

There's something so incredibly humble about onion soup. It's absolutely one of my favorites but unfortunately I only ever get to make it in the restaurant or for myself as the missus thinks she's allergic to onions. (She's not, because I whiz them up into... read recipe

fennel risotto with ricotta and dried chili (risotto ai finocchi con ricotta e peperoncino)

Serves 6

To me, fennel is a really tasty, classy and under-used vegetable. It works really well with the ricotta in this recipe and has a fantastic sweetness. Please don't buy the crappy ricotta that a lot of the supermarkets have - make sure it's light and crumbly... read recipe

fried pizza (pizza fritta)

servings 10

When I took my students to Italy to see how olive oil was made, we ate these 'fried' pizzas at a great little restaurant called Il Vescovino in Panzano in the Chianti region. The chef fried the thin bases in oil, like poppadoms, then quickly topped them with... read recipe

goat's cheese and sun-dried tomato tart

WINE MATCH: Villebois Loire Sauvignon Blanc 2010 from Naked Wines

This luxury veggie dish is perfect for a summer picnic. Preheat your oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4. On a clean floured work surface, roll out your pastry until it is the thickness of a pound coin. Carefully line an 8-inch tart shell with the pastry and place... read recipe

grilled marinated mozzarella with crunchy bread, smoked bacon and a black olive and lemon dressing

Serves 4

This is an absolutely genius combination. It's not very often that mozzarella gets cooked in a credible way but this is one time it does. I love the whole idea of putting the bread, mozzarella and smoky bacon together because when cooked they complement each... read recipe
