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.
To help you find your way around my recipes, use the search bar below, it allows you to explore the recipes in whatever way suits you. 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.
Grilled squid with broad beans, mint, lemon & agretti
a frondy member of the samphire family, and although it has a slight salinity, its flavour is close to that of spinach
Gooseberry, bacon & camembert rough-edged tart
Here, I use ripe gooseberries just as you would cherry tomatoes (they have very similar qualities) with Camembert and salty bacon
Chilled kohlrabi, courgette & kefir soup
I’ve tried not to lose the kohlrabi’s delicate, subtle flavour in this chilled summer soup
Cos lettuces with tarragon dressing & hard goat’s cheese
The depth of it and the overall joy it brings comes from sweet, green tarragon, one of my favourite herbs
Summer garden tart
Another of my assemblies, this tart is open to interpretation, alteration and variation
Cockles in butter & chives
I’ve always enjoyed cooking and eating cockles. At their best they are sweet, plump, meaty and full of character
Radishes with aïoli & fried fish
I love this big, friendly way to serve fillets of fish. It’s generous and colourful and full of curious qualities
Steamed spring vegetables with tamari, honey & sunflower seeds
A light lunch of steamed vegetables is sometimes just what I need
Panettone gypsy toast with dark chocolate
If you’ve received a panettone, or think you might in the future, then you need this recipe in your life. It is one of the simplest, most delicious breakfasts I know
Fig & seville marmalade breakfast buns
These breakfast buns were inspired by a winter trifle I make with dried figs and thick-cut bitter marmalade
