Food & Drink

Pineapple pulled-pork tacos

The secret to my pulled pork is to slow-cook it in pineapple juice. The fruit’s acidity helps to tenderise the meat as it cooks, making it even easier to pull, and also imparts a delicious sweet-and-sour flavour.

Drunken cherry affogato

The perfect end to a meal, especially if you’ve got an espresso machine! Drunken cherries are a pantry staple in my kitchen: amaretto is my spirit of choice, because its almondy notes make for syrup reminiscent of a Bakewell tart. You can use the cherries straight away, but they improve after being left to soak for at least a week.

Cacio e pepe gnocchi

Cacio e pepe translates as ‘cheese and pepper’, a deceptively simple-sounding name for the amalgamation of two glorious ingredients. Use tangy sheep’s milk pecorino and the freshest black pepper you can get your hands on. Gnocchi isn’t traditional here (neither is lemon juice), but it is perfect for the sauce, and the high-starch content helps the notoriously unstable emulsion remain creamy and smooth.

Chorizo and cod paella traybake

Proper paella is a labour of love. My one-pan version is less needy: it is entirely oven baked. Make sure you use a stainless steel or enamelled roasting dish, rather than one made of glass or ceramic, as metal conducts the heat better and will cook the rice accurately. You’ll also get a layer of socarrat - that crispy, caramelised bit on the bottom of the pan - which is arguably the most delicious part of this dish.

Salmon tikka skewers with mango kachumber salad

Kashmiri chilli powder is the secret ingredient for these flavoursome salmon skewers. It’s bright red, fragrant and fruity, with a mild heat rather than an intense spice. If you’re using a different chilli powder, make sure you reduce the quantity. These are also excellent cooked on the barbecue.

Martha Collison

Melon, chilli and mozzarella salad

This salad is perfect with a charcuterie board, as part of a summer spread, or just as something to take down to the beach in your favourite picnic container. Refreshing, sweet and delicious!

Moussaka bowls

My favourite thing about serve-yourself bowl food is that you can tailor your portion exactly to your preferences. Not a fan of aubergine? Just go for the potatoes. Obsessed with whipped feta sauce (as you should be – I could eat the whole bowl)? Smother your plate with it. This is a lovely way to serve moussaka in the summer, complete with flatbreads and a fresh green salad.
