April’s rosemary straw potatoes with lemon salt

| serves 4

My friend April, who's the chef at the Spotted Pig gastropub in New York, serves these with her famous blue-cheese hamburgers. She calls them shoestring fries, but in classic old-English game cooking they're called straw potatoes. They're a pretty common side... read recipe

baked new potatoes with sea salt and rosemary

butternut squash muffins with a frosty top

| serves 12

My kids love these squash muffins. They taste a bit like carrot cake, as the two vegetables are very similar - I've simply swapped carrots for squash. Both of them are wonderful carriers of flavors like cinnamon, cloves and vanilla. The skin of a butternut... read recipe

Caesar on the lighter side

| serves 4

I've made my own version of the classic Caesar salad, which is a little bit healthier on the dressing - it's all about taking influences from the original dish and bigging up the flavors and textures where you can. If you have some leftover roasted chicken,... read recipe
