Cassoulet de Toulouse à la Pappa

A perfect winter warmer – Cassoulet!

Grilled Sardines

Can’t get to the Mediterranean on hols? Barbecue some sardines and you will be transported.

Salmon Croquetas

The usual Spanish croqueta is made with jamon. These versions are made with smoked salmon. They work really well and would not go amiss on any tapas menu.

Panelle (Sicilian Chickpea Fritters) with Lemon Basil Flowers

A Sicilian specialty made with chickpea flour. I’ve made my variety using lemon-scented basil flowers from Casanova and Daughters of Covent Garden.

Salmon en croûte

Salmon en croute are brilliant – part pie, part pastie, part Salmon Wellington – what’s not to like?

Hake in Green Sauce

This is a staple of the Basque region of Spain. It seems in every way a bit foreign or difficult. But it’s basically fish in a parsley flavoured sauce. It’s a good recipe to learn as you can swap around the ingredients endlessly to suit your taste and budget.

Classic Spaghetti Carbonara

A simple 30 minute Italian Classic.

Mini Meatball Fedilini

This is a clever way with meat balls. As small individual portions it makes an elegant Italian starter. The smaller-sized meatballs and thin spaghetti also make a fun and wholesome dish for children. Or piled high on a big platter it makes a great family dish to share around the table.

Roman Artichokes

This is one of the best ways to enjoy artichokes. I got these artichokes from Kingston Market – they’re fresh in from Italy.

Tuna Penne Pasta

‘I tend to get home late from work and this little beauty is simple, warming and very quick to make.’
