1 Dip a dessertspoon into hot water and place 2 spoonfuls of vanilla mascarpone in each pastry tartlet case. Slice strawberries in half lengthways then arrange around the edge of the tartlets, before filling the middle, cut-side facing outwards. Lightly dust with icing sugar and serve immediately.

2 For the pastry, mix 175g (about 6 ounces) unsalted butter at room temperature, 75g (2-3 ounces) icing (confectioner’s) sugar, 2 free-range egg yolks, 250g (about 8½ ounces) plain flour and 1 Tbsp cold water in an electric mixer bowl and mix on low speed with the paddle attachment until the pastry comes together to form a dough. Knead lightly, roll into a ball, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Unwrap pastry, slice into 12 pieces and press into tartlet tins and bake blind for 10-15 minutes in an oven preheated to 200°C/400°F.

3 For the mascarpone, place mascarpone, lemon zest, icing sugar and vanilla bean seeds in a bowl and mix together with a wooden spoon. Fold in lightly whipped cream until just combined.

Zucchini (courgettes)
Our favourite way with zucchini flowers is stuffed and fried (anything fried at our place is a no-brainer!). Goat’s cheese seasoned with lemon and herbs or with anchovies, a spicy almondy chilli paste, and a fresh pea puree lightened with mascarpone are three ways we like, but the possibilities are endless. Just keep the filling light and don't over-fill the flowers.
