Rosehip Syrup Recipe From Foraged Wild Dog Rose Hips

‘Our first recipe in collaboration with #Mental Movement, Dad’s super-food salad is part of our joint venture to understand how healthy food can help support “positive mental well-being”.’

This is a spring asparagus dish – but not as we know it…

These little quiches are full of spring vegetables, served with a salad they would make a brilliant lunch or light supper.

Asparagus and nuts have an affinity – I’ve used hazelnuts and seen recipes with pistachios, so sesame should – and does – marry well. Avocado and tofu work well together, and asparagus eats well with avocado. This recipe brings all these flavour combination together in a Japanese style dish.

Most cooks agree that when you have an amazing ingredient it is best to prepare it as simply as possible. And they are not wrong: this must be the very best way to eat asparagus. Steamed and presented in a big stack to share. Butter, salt and lemon are optional extras…

This is a spin on Escoffier’s white asparagus with sauce maltaise. The two are often served as an accompaniment for a white fish such as turbot. Here the fish is plaice rolled around asparagus and a maltaise mousse and served as a canapé.
