Welcome to my recipes
There are getting on for 1000 in this collection. They’re all simple, seasonal and very achievable, whether you’re cooking something quick and light or settling in for something slow and comforting. The recipes here reflect the way I cook at home and the way I like to eat; they are very much shaped by the seasons and by the ingredients themselves.

You can choose a season, select a course, or search by recipe type. With so many here, it's a good way to make browsing easier and more intuitive. Many of the following recipes are accompanied by video, so you can cook along or just get a sense of the dish before you begin.
Chicken liver pâté
This version couldn’t be easier or more delicious and, provided you have some lovely chicken livers to hand, comes together in minutes
Spaghetti with tomato & fried chicken
Everyone who eats this dish falls in love with it immediately. Then, they go away and make it for themselves or for their family or friends
Chicken livers with new potatoes, ricotta & sage
I love this rustic, hearty supper dish. It’s an unpretentious pairing of very affordable ingredients that come together in such a natural, effortless way
Roast tomatoes with potato purée & grilled bread
The English fry-up inspired this dish, but forget the bacon and sausages for a moment – this version is about the fried tomato, the toast and the potato cake
Roast artichokes with garlic, sage, hazelnuts & lemon & fennel mayo
Sitting down to a plate of globe artichokes is more an experience than a meal. It’s all fingers, butter, chins and smiles
Ceviche with rhubarb, lemon & chilli
My approach has always been one of ‘less is more’ – I like the purity of a ceviche, so I tend to keep it as refined as I can
Lobster with asparagus, tarragon, cream & sheep’s cheese
How can I introduce you in the night, with your calcium on fire and all that. How can I explain your season, a word for tarragon, or the feeling
Poached fish with seaweed, ginger & spring onions
This fragrant seaweed broth, gently spiced with garlic, chilli and ginger, would make a light, cleansing meal in its own right
Wood pigeon cured in apple with salt-baked beetroot & horseradish
one of the most sustainable and healthy forms of meat we could hope to eat. Beyond that... well, they are incredibly delicious
Lamb’s breast with white beans & samphire
Breast of lamb is an underrated cut. It’s easy to get hold of, relatively inexpensive, packed with depth and flavour
Nettles, butter & sheep’s cheese gnocchi
Gnocchi take a little time to prepare, but they are worth the effort. In fact, every time I make them, I’m shocked I don’t make them more
Crushed, crispy new potatoes with lemon & garlic
The results, fennel or no fennel, are a joyous mix of the crisp and the soft and everything in between
