altamura pea soup

servings 4

When I was in Altamura, in Puglia, I worked with a family of bakers who all lived in the same big house. Each part of the family had its own living-room and kitchen. I went back home with them one day and four different families were cooking four different... read recipe

beef carpaccio with marinated bean salad

servings 4

Carpaccio is very thinly sliced raw meat. I like mine Italian-style, with the meat sliced a little more thickly. This makes it a bit more rustic and you can really taste the quality of the meat. I also like to sear the meat very quickly before slicing it up,... read recipe

beef tagine

servings 4-6

I like to think of a tagine as a sort of stew with attitude. It's really all about the spices and the slow cooking, giving all the wonderful flavors time to develop. What's great is that you don't need an authentic Moroccan tagine in order to recreate this... read recipe

braised peas with spring onions and lettuce

servings 4

This is my version of a classic French dish and, apart from it being delicious, what I love about it is that you can make it in literally a few minutes from start to finish. And I can guarantee you that practically everyone who turns their nose up at having... read recipe

chargrilled tuna with dressed beans and loadsa herbs

Serves 4

This is a really beautiful summer dish that takes hardly any time at all to prepare - and, of course, you can use different kinds of beans, such as black-eyed beans, flageolets, butter beans or even lentils. It's a terrific hot snack or main dish - and with... read recipe

chargrilled tuna with oregano oil and beautifully dressed peas and broad beans

Serves 4

The simplicity and flavor of this summer dish are fantastic. Buy your tuna steaks about 1cm thick rather than going for massive ones. That way they'll cook quickly, giving you a juicy, silky steak that hasn't had a chance to dry out. If you can't get hold... read recipe

cheesy peas

servings 4

Peas and Parmesan - it couldn't be more simple, and if your kids won't eat their peas this way, then they probably never will. Boil the peas until perfect, then remove from the heat and drain in a colander, saving a small cup of the cooking water. Put the... read recipe

cool mexican bean wraps

servings 4

In a little oil, gently fry the onion for 10 minutes. Then add the garlic and chili powder. Add the tomato puree, the drained kidney beans and the tins of tomatoes with their juice. Cook for 10 minutes until the juice has reduced, then add salt to taste.... read recipe

crostini - pea and broad bean purée with pecorino

In a pestle and mortar or a food processor, smash up a small handful of mint leaves with 2 good handfuls of freshly podded peas and broad beans until they look like mushy peas. Add a large handful of freshly grated pecorino or Parmesan, then loosen with a... read recipe

easy peas

servings 4

Whether you are using fresh or frozen peas, for 4 people you need to put 4 good handfuls of peas into a wide frying pan or casserole-type pan which has a lid (or you can use tinfoil), with ½ a wineglass of white wine, ½ a wineglass of water and 2 good knobs... read recipe
