Not only a pleasure to look at, this gorgeous cake is wonderfully decadent without being too rich — and it’s actually not that difficult to make. If you want to make a three-layer cake, simply use smaller-sized tins, ideally 16–18cm.
I first made this dauphine potato recipe as an apprentice chef. Years later, I decided it would make the perfect topping for my gurnard and seaweed pie. Red gurnard is an ideal base, its firm texture, sweetness and rich shellfish characteristics shine through, even beneath the golden potato topping. The seaweed brings a level of complexity and savouriness to the pie that spinach or other green vegetables just can’t, so take the time to source the best quality.
This is my interpretation of the classic chicken-shop dinner. From the seasoning added to the flounder to the soft white bread rolls, coleslaw and amazing gravy, this is a dish I hope you will want to cook again and again.
This sandwich is great with crisps and a pickle... and friends! Or make them smaller and serve as canapes at your next gathering.
Mapo tofu is one of my favourite dishes. The spicy sichuan ingredients mixed with the minerality and richness of the tuna and the creaminess of the tofu is such a good match. I promise you won’t miss the traditional recipe once you’ve tried this version. Any leftovers make an unbelievable jaffle! The paste can be made in advance and stored in an airtight container in the fridge until needed.
