Forget the crunch! Here’s a typical Sicilian way of cooking cauliflower until it is tender and imbued with an oily tomato sauce. Delicious.

Oh Lordy. A mouthful of sweet, salty succulence with a little jab of heat.

Crusty cheesy mouthfuls!

Dig the tang! Make the most of free grapefuit falling off your neighbour’s tree.

Add a jab of pickley-punch to your next platter of cured meats.

Cabbage is delicious when lightly cooked with a few tasty bits and bobs. It’s also so good for you! And cheap!

Got your nan coming to visit? Or your ancient aunt? Or, it’s just you and a few friends and a giant pot of tea …

Midweek supper, adjunct to a roast chicken, or a brunch staple, get making this.

Soft and wobbly when removed from the oven, but they sink dramatically as they cool, making the perfect cavity to fill with cream or ice cream.

Use a sharp, thin-bladed knife for slicing lamb.

One is not enough. Three maybe …

Good enough to eat with just oil and salt.


Beyond comfort food — raw celeriac dunked into a rich herby mayo. Celery-like, nutty and creamy and very dip-able.

Fresh, light and tangy, with a hint of smoke from salmon and nip of heat from chilli.

A French tart is always bound to raise eyebrows! Crisp, walnut pastry is draped over halved pears. When cool, the centre is filled with soft dollops of crème fraîche.

Red onions and fennel and coriander seeds add a sweet spice to cauliflower.

Warm, fragrant and plump … taste delicious, too!

Cheesy and savoury, cheese straws are great with beer or wine, and, surprisingly, with tomato-based soups.

It’s surprising how much rich flavour you can get from red onion and rosemary.

I love the sweet-savoury notes of the filling in this classic Greek pie.

Toasted coconut and sugared tamarillos turn breakfast into dessert!

This is such a cool idea. It makes a dish of meatballs an easy job for a midweek meal.

This sponge calls for oil, not butter. It’s easy to put together.
