Massaman Beef Curry

This is another recipe inspired by my Thai travels — see Thai Noodles with Cinnamon and Prawns — and I have cooked it many, many times since. It is essentially a beef and potato stew, with all the com...

Crisp Green Salad with Parsley and Capers

I’m no good at playing favourites, but this is certainly the salad I make the most on a regular basis and, every time I eat it, I am reminded afresh of how good a salad can be. I suppose that stands t...

Peach Melba

This is it — summer on a plate. Most days I take the view that cooking fruit rather loses the point of its delectable freshness, but this somehow intensifies it. Besides, most peaches are disappointin...

Coffee and Walnut Layer Cake

Neither of my grandmothers, nor indeed my mother, was a baker but this cake is nonetheless the cake of my childhood. When I was little, I used to make it for my younger sister's birthday every year, b...

Strawberry Shortcakes

I've long been fascinated by this American confection, which isn't really a scone so much as a tender, buttery sponge with scone-like properties, split and crammed with strawberries. There is nothing,...

Spaghetti With Lemon, Garlic and Breadcrumbs

I always relish an opportunity to use up ingredients that are past their best. The thing to do is make breadcrumbs with stale bread whenever it's to hand. Stash the breadcrumbs in airtight bags in the...

Chicken with Garlic Cream Sauce

There is something old-fashioned and comforting about a cream sauce. It's so rare to come across these days, and I think it's time we welcomed it back. My paternal grandmother was very keen on chicken...

Rose and Pepper Pavlova with Passionfruit and Strawberries

The flavours sound so bold here and yet taste so delicate. My maternal grandfather used to eat strawberries with a grinding of black pepper; he insisted it made their berried freshness sing. I prefer ...
