New potato, asparagus, chive and egg salad

Asparagus is a perennial vegetable grown in the same field year after year. When you see how much of a commitment it is, how it grows and how time-consuming it is to harvest, you appreciate what a special vegetable it is. You can keep the skin on the potatoes, but I find that they absorb more flavour when they’re peeled. This salad really is the epitome of spring and embodies the excitement of the season ahead.

Slow-cooked ratatouille

Ratatouille is the taste of summer. It’s perfect for warm evenings or weekends when you have lots of produce in the fridge to use up. On holiday in France, my mum used to make a huge pot of this over the fire and we’d have it with sausages that had also been cooked over the fire and salad from the garden. Afterwards, we’d toast marshmallows, which later were replaced with wine and cheese. We’d sit outside for hours until it was dark, then watch for shooting stars until we couldn’t keep our eyes open. Every time I make this, it reminds me of those special evenings.

Roasted aubergine, tahini sauce and cucumber salsa on toast

This recipe is a good example of something that makes a simple, quick lunch but also an exciting starter or snack when you’re hosting. Cut up the toast into small bite-sized pieces to make a canapé-style starter, or prepare all the elements, keep in containers and have them for lunch throughout the week.

Courgette and red pepper stew with buffalo mozzarella and almonds

While many soups and stews lend themselves to cold winter days, there are also many that I enjoy making and eating in the summer.

Chickpeas in a puttanesca sauce

Puttanesca is absolutely one of my favourite pasta sauces. I wanted to create a dish inspired by it that was a little lighter than pasta, so I could have it for lunch - and this is it. It is well known that puttanesca is made primarily from store-cupboard ingredients, so it’s a great sauce to make when you don’t feel like going out to the shops, or if you’re coming back home after being away.

Broad beans and peas on toast

If you’re looking to put together a very quick lunch that’s also full of nutrients and delicious, this is the one for you. I love the freshness of the peas and beans with the summer herbs, but you could make this at any time of the year, given that frozen vegetables are always available.

Chocolate mousse and whipped cream

Chocolate mousse is an iconic pudding for a reason. It is ideal for hosting because you can make it in advance and just serve it straight from the fridge when you’re ready to go. It’s fun to present it in a big bowl and let everyone help themselves. Chocolate goes beautifully with extra virgin olive oil and sea salt, so if you are feeling fancy, add them at the end, too.

Sweetcorn, herb butter, chilli and pecorino

I love corn on the cob, and there are so many ways to take it from a simple side into something exciting, beautiful and significant. I used to make this straight on the open fire in Wales, but it’s easy to create it in your kitchen at home, too. This dish demonstrates that when you use good- quality, seasonal ingredients, you don’t need to tamper with them too much. Enjoy it on a warm, late-summer evening. If you don’t want to make the herb butter to serve with this, you could easily make it with normal unsalted butter.
