Rhubarb, Apple And Maple Pan Crumble

This is a crumble you can make any night of the week and it’s filled with good nutrient-packed stuff and natural coconut sugar, so you can eat it with a smile. Any orchard fruit or stone fruit would work well here. I like plums and pears in autumn and apricots…

Honey And White Miso Aubergines

This recipe is everything an aubergine should be, soft and buttery on the inside, and burnished and just crisp on the outside. The miso paste that is generously spread on top is a fanfare of flavour. I serve this with brown sushi rice, which I buy in a Japanese supermarket…

Roasted Coconut, Lime And Tamarind Curry

The squash, fennel seeds and tamarind in this recipe come together to make a vibrant curry, and the toasted maple and lime coconut is the crowning glory (and a great little treat for snacking on in its own right too). If you are in a real rush you could use pre-cooked…

Swordfish Baked on Saffron Peppers

Like tuna, swordfish dries out if cooked right through. It’s best served medium-rare to medium. To check for this, insert the tip of a paring knife into the middle of the fish. If it feels lukewarm, it’s done.

Best Scrambled Egg & Smoked Salmon Toasties

When making scramble, it’s worth splurging on organic eggs, especially if they come from chickens raised in a small flock.

Easy Lobster “Boil” on the Grill

You could serve cocktail sauce and aioli with this dish, but nothing beats dipping the seafood into the liquid it was cooked in, a heavenly emulsion of wine, butter and briny shellfish juices. If you don’t have a big enough pan, buy a large foil one.

Tahini Salmon with Zucchini “Noodles”
