This asparagus and Gruyère tartlet is a delicious spring supper. Make sure your shortcrust pastry is butter-based and serve with a chilled glass of Chablis and a green leaf salad.

Lemon Meringue Pie

This is my favourite dessert to make for serving on a Sunday after a big feast of roast lamb! Don’t be nervous about making pastry, just chuck the ingredients in a food processor, pulse and roll.

Rhubarb & Ginger Upside Down Cake

You can make this a day in advance, but take it out of the fridge an hour before you serve to take the chill off the cake. Serve with a Pimm’s cocktail as a fabulous end to a summer supper or at the weekend for an afternoon treat.

Linguine Puttanesca

I love that an Italian named this dish after a, how to I put this so that I don’t offend anyone –a lady of the night, love for money? You get the idea! The pasta is hot and fiery, and so addictive, I guess that’s how it got the name.

Rhubarb, Rosewater & Pistachio Galettes

These galettes are so easy to make. Once you have prepared the pastry, it is only a matter of spooning the rhubarb in the centre and popping them in the oven. At other times of the year, you can substitute whatever fruits are in season, such as apples or peaches, for the rhubarb.

Steak Au Poivre

Tender, marbled sirloin in a creamy, spicy sauce. This is a classic grilled steak with a peppered sauce and sea salt roasties. Steak can seem simple, but it’s all in the shopping.

Tofu Pad Thai

Pad Thai is definitely become a food cult at the street food market scene, and there are so many reasons why. It’s utterly delicious and satisfying in both flavour and comfort hitting. It’s both fresh and vibrant as well as hearty and warming. Which makesit a brilliant mid-week fast track to supper. I am using a vegan option Tofu, which absorbs all the delicious flavours of spices, herbs and tangy soya and fish sauces, but you can use prawns, chicken or beef too.
