Most of us have heard of cock-a-leekie (a Scottish soupy stew made with chicken and leeks) but hat-a-leekie is something else. Why anyone would want to wear a leek in their hat is beyond me.

Easy when you know how: trim, shave, halve, wash …

Chop chop … get a decent knife and use a steady chopping board.

Blood peaches have succulent melting flesh and buckets of flavour.

Toasty roasty coffeeish – that’s toasted hazelnuts! Here’s how to do it.

It’s weird and I don’t know why it works, but soft-cooked eggs on squished avocado just tastes so damned good.

Pretty as a picture – artful leftovers.

Deal to them – no mercy – lop the tops off the buggers along with any other spiky unloveable parts.

Like overpriced sad and bland scones, bad expensive pizza is a crime.

Labna and dukkah and dukkah and labna … make it your summer mantra.

Fancy up bean soups with fried tortilla strips. Yes, yes, naughty I know, but there you go …

Dark, rich and sticky … is date syrup really what it’s cracked up to be?

A feasting platter to keep ya truckin’ on.

Sweet and colourful, kumara offers more than just being an accompaniment to a roast.

And still producing award-winning wines.
