Grate about three quarters of the cucumber into a bowl – it’ll be wet and green and look a bit unappetising. Slice the remaining quarter of the cucumber thinly and add to the bowl with the herbs, the zest, the salt and the pepper. Mix together, add the yoghurt and taste. Adjust seasoning, adding a…

Boil the spaghetti for about 1.5 mins less than the packet says in lightly salted water. I use the deep sided skillet for this, because we want nicely starchy water. As you’re doing that, gently heat the pepper in the olive oil in a separate pan – big enough to hold all the pasta as…

In the big, once-white pot, melt the butter over a medium heat. As it foams, add the onion or shallot and the celery. Cook until softened, then add the garlic and the potato. Stir and cook until fragrant. Add the white wine and a splash of Worcestershire and reduce by half. Add the stock and…
