chocolate tiramisu

Chocolate | serves 12

Inspired by classic tiramisu, this is a slightly less indulgent version that uses home-made chocolate sponge for the base instead of sponge fingers, and has white chocolate in the mascarpone to add a lovely sweetness. With all that extra chocolate, it's a... read recipe

classic caipirinha

Other | serves 8

This is a wonderfully refreshing Brazilian cocktail using Cachaça. You should be able to pick up a bottle in most supermarkets these days, I've seen it made with vodka as well but if you can, use Cachaça to ensure it's the real deal. Roll the limes on your... read recipe

crab, chili and pink grapefruit salad

Salad | serves 4

prawn-stuffed flatfish

Fish | serves 4

I think this is a really simple way to make a lovely flatfish like flounder, lemon sole, plaice, turbot or brill look, and taste, really exciting. If you want to, you can ask your fishmonger to run a knife down the back of the fish and make a pocket for you... read recipe

store cupboard peach bellini

Other | serves 6

A Bellini is the perfect drink for any special occasion. I've used tinned peaches here so you can be certain the fruit will be lovely and soft, rather than struggling to blitz harder, out-of-season fruit. Tinned peaches are also the kind of thing most people... read recipe
