This is one of my favourite ways to eat cabbage. The fried capers are salty, crispy and extremely satisfying, and the savoury black garlic brown butter works wonderfully well with the refreshing tang from the buttermilk dressing. The whole thing is lifted and made fresh by the lemon. I have experimented with different types of cabbage and found that napa, hispi and savoy work the best.

This lemon curd is one of the best versions that I have ever come across, having tested a good few over the past few years. It was taught to me by my mother and to her by some very close friends many years ago. It is very simple and easy to make, with a sweet and tart flavour, and can be utilised in a number of interesting and exciting desserts. It is also great served very simply on bread, scones or buns or with porridge or yogurt. It’s also a good ingredient in a roulade.

Here is my take on the ever classic and comforting dish mushrooms on toast, with a few little tricks thrown in that add a some flavour, texture and visual appeal. The crispy panko egg yolk tastes as good as it sounds, but can be a little bit tricky to perfect. If that sounds like a little bit too much, you can also fry or poach an egg to go on top.

This recipe includes a version of Taberu Rayu that I have developed. The flavour is sweet, salty, complex and not overly spicy. I have found that this oil pairs wonderfully well with scallops. They can really stand up to the robust flavour. Treat your scallops like miniature steaks when cooking – an intense heat, don’t move them around too much and aim for a charred outside and a soft, warm inside.

This is my famous recipe or honey-glazed rainbow carrots with ricotta, pistachio, chilli & orange. As you can imagine, it’s big on flavour. This elevates any roast dinner or family-style get-together. Roasting the vegetables this way brings out a lovely level of sweetness and a natural nuttiness and the accompaniments hit every flavour mark.

This recipe looks good and tastes even better. Above all else, it’s very straightforward to make. Soft, high-quality chorizo from Spain works the best, and the Prosecco doesn’t have to be anything fancy.

This spinach dish is simple but delicious, and packs a serious flavour punch. It’s tangy, refreshing, and addictive, and is perfect for barbecues or as a starter or side with crisps, chips and bread. It never goes to waste. You can hollow out a large bread loaf and place it inside for extra presentation points. This recipe makes a large shareable bowl.

There are many ways to cure fresh olives. Last summer, I was lucky enough to travel to Andalucía in the south of Spain, where the Montes family took the time to show me their own tried and tested techniques, made with home-grown olives fresh from their very own trees. This method is free from any artificial preservatives.

This oil is based on the Japanese practice of adding an aromatic element to a dish, something that plays on your sense of smell as well as your sense of taste. The mayu - a burnt garlic oil - goes against everything you know about cooking, and yet it’s incredible, akin to the taste of black truffle. Coupled with the citrus fruits, this oil is complex and full of surprises.
