We’re bringing a classic coronation dish into the 21st century with this epic salad. Think tender chicken in a creamy spiced dressing, tossed with caramelised pineapple, sweet onions and coriander – it’s a thing of beauty. If you don’t fancy a salad, serve up the individual components as an epic spread, or use them to fill sandwiches.
Every party spread needs a centrepiece, and these two cakes are pretty special. A lemon drizzle cake is a classic crowd-pleaser, but this recipe kicks it up a notch with four layers, and featherlight cream cheese icing.
