One of my favourite suppers to prepare with fresh crab is these cakes. I like to use about a quarter of dark meat in my crab cakes as it adds sweetness. I use fresh breadcrumbs (not dried!) to bind my crab cakes together. Even though I am from potato land (Ireland) I don’t like potato in my crab cake as the flavour of crab is so delicate that it tends to get lost under the potato. The aioli is gorgeous, as it adds a kick of heat and texture to the overall bite. I serve the whole thing up with a big leafy salad.
Read MoreI could make this carbonara with my eyes closed (sometimes they are!). After a long day filming on ITV This Morning or writing up recipes I crave this creamy smoky peppery dish. Here’s how the evening goes... I get everything prepped ahead, and the water boiling for the pasta then I take my glass of wine with up to the bath. After a long soak, I get into my PJs and finish off the pasta. Then the fire gets lit, movie goes on and I curl up on the sofa with this bowl of heaven that makes me feel right again...
