  • Heat the oven to 180c. Cream together both sugars with the butter. Add the egg and mix again until well incorporated and wet. Sift in the flour, the baking powder and the bicarb. Mix, adding the spices and then the oats as you do so. It will look too stiff, but when you add the…

  • This is a very quick recipe. In a wide, shallow pan, boil well salted water and cook your pasta. Meanwhile, in another frying pan, gently cook the garlic, chilli, the zest of the lemon and a good grind of black pepper. We’re not looking for colour on the garlic – watch it and cook it…

  • Soak the shallot in the lemon juice for at least half an hour. Shake everything together until well emulsified. Taste for seasoning and use to liberally dress a bitter, cold salad of radicchio or chicory, pear, goat’s cheese and rocket.

  • In a small saucepan, combine the vinegar, the shallot, the bottom stalky third of the tarragon and the black peppercorns. Bring to a gentle simmer and reduce by half. Strain. In a metal bowl, combine the egg yolks and the mustard. Set a small saucepan of water to simmer, place the metal bowl over the…

  • 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…

  • Slice the cabbages very thinly and weigh the outcome. Mix with 2.5% weight of salt, so multiply the weight of the cabbage by 0.025% and add the resulting gram quantity of salt. Leave for five minutes. Crush the spices in the pestle and mortar, then add to the cabbage with the garlic. Using your hands,…

  • Get one of the bigger frying pans searingly hot over a high heat. Add a little neutral oil – not the olive oil – and then the jalapenos, pepper and shallots. Leave them to pop and char until there’s patches of good deep brown or even black on the jalapeno and the pepper. Add the…

  • Place the torn slices of bread in the bottom of a large bowl. Layer the vegetables on top of the bread, tomatoes first, followed by cucumber, then onion, pepper and garlic. After each layer of vegetable, salt them quite generously without going overboard. They should still be edible, we’re not trying to cure them. Add…

  • Mix, rest for at least 20 minutes before rolling as desired.

  • Combine the dry ingredients in the bowl of the stand mixer. Start the mixer on a low speed and drizzle in the oil, followed by the yoghurt. Allow to thoroughly mix before adding the milk, holding back 50ml at first. Add enough milk to make a soft dough that is a little sticky to touch…
