Barbecue Smoky & Sticky Ribs with Summer Slaw

I marinate the ribs with a smoky whiskey – stay on theme with a bourbon – and some lovely English honey, sweet soy sauce, ginger, sesame oil and sweet cinnamon.

Aubergine Parmigiana

Aubergine parmigiana is one of the most iconic Italian dishes. It is made with fried aubergine slices, layered with tomato sauce, mozzarella and Parmigiano Reggiano. The dish is then baked till golden brown. I assure you there is nothing better than cutting through layers of delicious aubergine and seeing the mozzarella stretching out of it.

This creamy wild mushroom risotto recipe is a delight to both make and eat. The comforting risotto is made the traditional "stand and stir" way.

Prawn Pil Pil

Quick Fix Prawn Pil Pil in the sunshine for tonight’s supper ☀️ Scroll 👇 for the recipe! I remember the first time that I ever had prawns pil pil, it was in the
famous market in Barcelona. I sat at the counter of one of the tapas bars, and watched how they fired up the plump fresh prawns with fiery chilies, aromatic garlic and smokey paprika. They were out of this world… They served them with very thinly sliced sourdough toasts that were brushed with olive oil – so I could scoop the prawns pil pil onto the toasts to create the perfect bit, heaven! It is one of the easiest and fastest suppers that I know.

Watermelon Margarita

Watermelon margaritas are irresistible in summer. Based on the classic margarita but with the sweet taste of fresh watermelon juice.

Vodka Infused Watermelon

This takes watermelon to a whole new level of fun. Also known as a drunken watermelon, simply place a bottle of vodka into a whole watermelon and let it seep into the fruit. When it's ready, just cut the melon into pieces and enjoy!

Elderflower Cordial

It’s one of my favourite traditions to do at the beginning of each summer. The elderflowers grow wild in woods and hedgerows, so something really fun to do over a weekend!

Hash Browns with Dill Fried Eggs & Harissa

love the combinations in this dish – crispy hash browns, silky rich eggs and smoky, spicy harissa. It’s super simple to make, takes about 20 minutes and the ingredients are ones that most of us will always have in our cupboards. I cook this a lot when I am on my own at home, as it’s my TV supper catch-up special. I fry my egg here, but you can poach the egg too.

Steak Salad with Cashel Blue, Honey and Pecans

The blue cheese will melt into the steaks and the pecans add a sweet and nutty flavour. If you’re not a fan of blue cheese use shavings of aged Parmesan — add a balsamic dressing and roasted tomatoes, leave out the pecans and you have a traditional Italian tagliata steak.

Maple Rosemary Peaches / Corn On The Cob

The first time I had these barbecued peaches was at a wedding in Tuscany, under a line of olive trees. They were sensational! I add a crumble of amaretti biscuits on top as a finishing touch.
